gtst25 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi all, Had a search - I've never looked into driveshaft upgrades for my 33 gtst - I'd like to know if 33gtr driveshafts are a bolt in into a 33 gtst. If not I'd like to just replace the cv's in mine - looks like you have to pull them out and take them to a specialist though? Has anyone here done them themselves? I've fixed up commodore driveshafts before and that was a mission!

R338OY Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Do you know if there's any benefit from changing to a GTR prop shaft? Personally i wouldn't change the stock one, it can take a fair bit of power.

2BNVS Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 driveshafts wont bolt up to stock gtst, ive recently changed to a complete gtr rear end (shafts, diff, axels etc etc) if u compare the size of each model you'll then realise its worth it ( if u have the power to break them) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/203983-r33-gtr-driveshafts-into-r33-gtst/#findComment-3617778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtst25 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Ok - no not the tail shaft the driveshafts from diff to hubs. Anyone here though done up the '33 driveshafts? I'm making 260ish rwkw and would like to start going through driveshafts, wheel bearings etc as it's done over 100000k's and I hate breaking things on the road.

I assume this would be the same for 33. Best bet is to get a whole rear cradle from a wrecked 33gtr.

evil_weevil Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 thats the same with R34's as Adam (abo bob) did the same with his 34. So speaking of drive shafts - besides swapping the whole rear cradle (looks like thats the only way to get GTR drive shafts in) what are other replacement drive shafts? Mine need replacing... lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/203983-r33-gtr-driveshafts-into-r33-gtst/#findComment-3773447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risking Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I did the conversion on adams car some time ago. Basicly you need the diff, shafts and the hubs. The rest all bolts straight up to the GTs-t. you do need to swap the yoke on the front of the diff but its one bug nut so nothing difficult.

evil_weevil Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Whats a good replacement then if your standard ones are shitting themselves yet you dont want to go the GTR replacement?
