what does a tail shaft look like?

[YO880]

Hi Guys,

i am looking at buying a tailshaft to be used to make a custom shaft between the R31 manual box i have and my 240K differential..

The one i am looking at (which is actually from an R32 manual), is only one half of the full shaft, it has a spline at one end (with a uni joint), and what li think is called the centre bearing on the other..

i just want to check that i am getting the right half!

anyone got a picture, or does this sound right?

hmm - interesting you ask.. as i just had the tailshaft out of the r31 the other week to fix a few things... took a couple of pictures if this helps. I thought the more modern skylines all had single piece tailshafts? I think :Oops: my old r33 had a single piece, can't even remember.

Anyhow, on this one, the longer segment is the diff end, and the other end is the gearbox end. Where that bracket is, that is the centre bearing.

wow, you are a champion! just what i needed!

thanks.. it looks about right (just hope the splines meet up, i have been told they will)
