Driveshaft length

[NickER34]

Hello!

I am finally about to get started on this manual swap for my R34 gt, The only thing I am left with is getting a driveshaft. I haven't been able to find any oem R34 gtt 2 piece driveshafts so I have concluded to getting a custom 1 piece drive shaft. I need the length as I am in no position to drop the auto trans and get measurements.

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated thanks.

Try Alpha Omega, and use one of their 1piece aluminium shafts.

I heard mixed opinions on using a 1 piece. Do you have any experience with a 1 piece aluminum?

No i only have opinions on it. Allegedly lot of issues using steel 1 piece; the aluminium shaft can be better for a few reasons.

did you go through alpha omega in the end an did you find the correct measurements as I'm in the same boat at the moment 😅

I just got my alpha omega one for my R34 gtt and I'm worried I measured incorrectly as I'm hearing a rubbing/scraping noise only when it's in gear and theres nothing visible I can see where it's rubbing

It is worth noting that the length of a 1 piece in a R34 is above what is considered terminal RPM at ~200ish kmh.

Fine for the street. I got a custom 2 piece made. If you get one made of exotic materials you may be okay, but if you do that level of thinking get a 2 piece.

Mine was $700. Remember that if you are doing a manual conversion you can just use stock manual tailshafts (or the one half that is different).

All of the bearings and bushings can be replaced nowadays. Ignore the whole "you cant rebuild a 2 piece because some bits are not available" because they now are with a search.
