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

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.

Cheers

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.

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
