Where to get R32 GTR/GTS-4 Rear Axles / CVs?

[corbic]

My right side rear Hal-Shaft / CV / Axle is buggered up and needs replacement. 

 

However, OEM parts are now discontinued and I'm unaware of any aftermarket / remain units. Worse yet, I'm located in the States. 

I can't find specs either on OEM length. One member on this forum quoted 654mm and 622mm - didn't know which side and I'm not sure if they measured compressed (Post from 10 years ago). 

Here's what I've cross referenced with the Nissan 32-spline + 6x1 flange. 

spline	compressed	mm	side	model
32	26	660	right	300zx tt
32	23.86	606	left	300zx tt
32	24.33	618	left	370z
32	26.3	668	right	370z
32	25.04	636	left	q45
32	27.09	688	right	q45

You really want to repair if you can, although I believe there are billet aftermarket options which may be a go.

I just measured 2 pairs I have, which are both meant to be 32 GTR (one rebuilt with new boots, one original)

Left is 615mm/605mm

Right is 650mm/640mm

In each case the rebuilt one is 10mm shorter than the original, and they vary from the other numbers you pulled up from the old post, which I guess just goes to show there is a lot of movement in a CV

None of the ones he listed are R32, so there's room for them to be different lengths anyway.

And, I was under the impression that GTS4 used GTSt 5 bolt shafts. Am I wrong?

And, in the US, surely you would just spend the couple of grand required to get the billet ones and forget about all this old Datsun bullshit. They use really strong Porsche CVs and I would just do it if I was building something that needed more strength than you can get out of a 2nd hand 30 year old Silvia shaft.

I listed a R32 GTR - "One member on this forum quoted 654mm and 622mm"

 

GTS-4 uses the same CV's as a GTR. 

Not looking for 30 year old used. Numbers I listed above are all readily available new aftermarket and new OEM. 

A set of DSS axles is $2,800 + shipping + Tax. That's $4,200 AUD - I'm not making 1,000hp and that's stupid amount of money to fix one CV that was only $600 new OEM a year or two ago.
