Z32/S13/S14 - multi-link rear suspension swap

For the guys with the s13, q45, and z32TT hybrid rear ends, I just need to know how long you guy's driveshafts are?

I will soon be swapping the whole rear end set up from Mike D's old car into my Z, and the only thing I need to know is what you guys did about your driveshafts? lengthen? u-joints and pinion flanges?

Thank you for this.

I'm assuming C/L stands for "Center Line", I.e - center of U-joint bores on the ends of the DS?

See the tape position?

Also note, 760+-Hangover tolerancing.

as a note for anyone making a custom driveshaft.

Dave @ ShaftMasters wanted measurements from the face of the trans seal to the pinion flange, as the yokes and companion flanges he used were much larger than stock… so those measurements would only work on stock driveshafts, right?

Or....?

He will most likely use the components I listed. They are pretty much the only aftermarket driveline parts I was able to find for Nissan applications. The 1310 U-joint and all these parts that go with it are much larger than stock.
Compared to stock Z31 and S14…

exxxxxxxcrement. looks good.

awesome driveshaft/price. I'm sure he can pull up the info for my driveshaft i had it built for a 88trans and a Q45flange for the diff. awesome customer service.

Since I have this DS.
I'll totally agree to this statement excellent quality all together.

Hey guys, so I've been looking around for an s13 rear end and I found a guy who's selling a full sub-frame minus the shocks for $250. It came out of a 92 s13 which has the vlsd so my question is would it be better to buy the sub-frame off of an open diff equipped s13? Everyone here talks about wanting an open rear end of an s13 and the only think I can make out why is because the KAAZ LSD is cheaper for an open diff 240sx than it is for a VLSD.

There is no difference in the 2 subframes.
If you don't want the VLSD, sell it and buy a open diff if you want.

Ahh, your from Canada, good luck trying to find one without a VLSD

Yes there is.

Care to explain!

Link geometry was improved slightly for the S14. At a minimum the toe link is at a different angle.

I'll probably do that, thanks. The guy who's selling it is not too far from you (near Sarnia)

I realize a ton of people out there are using Q45 and Z32 rear brake parts on there S13/S14 rear subframes…Its extremely common. Z32 calipers/ebrake hardware is kind of expensive, and then who knows how your going to get the ebrake cables hooked up.

What I have just realized is that the Z31 caliper/rotor bolts on with a few washers, and you can most likely re-use your factory ebrake cable.
