Greetings,

Im currently on the lookout for a tailshaft for an A31 to get through regency, the centre bearing has collapsed in mine & the people who have been doing the work for me have been unable to source a part. It's the only thing I need left to get my car back on the road! :blink:

If anyone has any idea as to where one might be found, pleast let me know. :ninja:

Thank you so very much.. :merli:

Adam.

Is the center bearing in the rear half of the tailshaft or the front half? (behind or infront of the unijoint)

If it is in the front half,

The front half is similar to the R32 tailshaft

get yourself an R32 manual tailshaft, disassemble the front from the rear.

Disassemble your cefiro tailshaft in the same manner.

Notice that the flange that joins the two halves is larger on the R32 tailshaft, hence incompatible.

Use a rattle gun to remove the nut that is securing the flange to tailshaft, and swap the flange from your cefiro half onto the R32 half.

Now the R32 front half will bolt up to your cefiro rear half, using the cefiro flanges. You will need to have the tailshaft balanced.

This is how I did my tailshaft when I did my manual conversion.

If the bearing is on the rear half of the tailshaft,

get yourself an auto tailshaft (may be easier to find than a manual version) remove the front half from the rear half, do the same to your current tailshaft. Swap rear halves over.

Hope that the replacement tailshaft has a good bearing, you will also need to get this balanced.

Just had a look in nissan FAST, you can get a new bearing kit from them, have no idea about price but you could ring them up and ask.

the part code is 37521K and part number is 37521-85L26- description is BEARING KIT-CENTER

Ay mate cheers...

I ended up grabbing a R32 tailshaft the other day, and took it down and did notice that it was slightly shorter then the Cefiro, but the bloke there who is a mate of mines brother said he can make it work by doing exactly what you just said. :domokun:

Thanks ..

Adam.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
