29 spline axle and 32 spline hub??

[CaSkidda]

Hi guys. I have recently purchased an R32 that was factory manual ca18.

Its been converted to rb20det, and 5 stud conversion. I believe the 5 stud is from a GTS-4. My issue is as I was backing it into the garage, I lost drive. upon looking into it I found the axle/CV was spinning inside the hub. I stipped the hub off and found the cv has 29 splines and the hub is 32.

Im unsure what the best option here is, whether I can get 32 spline cvs and fit them to my axles? whether I can get other axles that will suit or whether I need different hubs? the current axles are 5x1 which from what I have read are the stronger of the 2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

That's f**king dodgy and I can't see how it ever had drive.  Should not have reliably engaged the splines at all.

What you have is a mess and I cannot tell you what the most cost effective option will be.  The strongest option obviously retains the 5 bolt driveshaft with the proper CV joints.  The 3x2 driveshafts won't suit your diff anyway, so cause more troubles than just having the weaker tripod joints.

You would be well advised to take both to a driveshaft/CV workshop and hold them out in front of you and say "please help", in your best Leeloo impersonation.  Either that or to a Nissan/Jap import wrecker.

Yeah so I bought this off a mate, he purchased the 5stud as a complete assembly. the way it had drive is just due to the cv nut being tightened, clamping the cv to the hub.

I may just pop the CV off, but Im hoping someone will know if the other CVs, inner spline could and diameter is the same so I can virtually just swap them over.

I've gone through something similar but at the diff end. Because I am not in a position to grab hold of a bunch of CV axles to try to mix and match I've decided to change the LSD to 29 spline to match the CV axle.  Those were my two choices which actually ended up as one choice.
