R33 Gtr Driveshafts Into R33 Gtst

[gtst25]

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!

Cheers

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.

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)

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.

With r32 i know u have to change the whole rear cradle as the shafts dont go into a stock gtst diff. I assume this would be the same for 33. Best bet is to get a whole rear cradle from a wrecked 33gtr.

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

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.

Whats a good replacement then if your standard ones are shitting themselves yet you dont want to go the GTR replacement?
