R32 Gts4 Cv Shaft Length

[jebud]

Hi,

I have bought a set of CV shafts for an R32 GTR to fit in the GTS4. After a few mix ups, i managed to get a drivers side and passenger side rebooted and greased.

Drivers side went in easy and then i started on the passenger side.

Installed it ok, put everything together and took it for a test drive.... while i was working on the front end i decided to replace the tie rod ends on the steering amongst other bushes.I knew that everything would be a little misaligned so i took it easy. At around 40km/hr i started to get a big vibration and clicking noise from the front. I turned around with the thought, wow, have to get everything aligned.

Since then i have thrown the old CV away, after briefly lining it up side by side with the replacement and roughly looking at it thinking, she'll be right.

Now, i have been told the shafts are for an R32, but when i measured the passenger (upright, gearbox side on the floor and shafts pushed right in) the length was 593mm. I have since been told they are meant to be 574mm long (had a bloke in a CV shop with some genuine ones measure it)

Does anyone know the exact length of the R32 GTR passenger side shaft? I thought google was my friend but we seem to be on the wrong page...

OR can anyone let me know what CV shaft i have?

TL;DR - CV shaft too long...

well I've got a 32 in pieces in the garage, and both front and rear passenger side shafts are about 600 long, definitely neither is 570ish

Cheers Duncan,

Will put the CV back in and see if it is something else.

Just thinking about it, i might try extending the steering, toe and camber arms (everything is currently adjustable) by winding out a few threads. Keep that as the base and work from there...
