Driveshaft Mod And Price!

[Bryson]

To those who have finished the RB25 swap...

what did you do concerning the driveshaft!!

I'm talking people who are NOT using McKinneys because I already know what you did and what you paid...

I am trying to find a quality solution I can afford. I don't even have my clip HERE yet and I am already starting to drown in expenses on this thing,

I still need a driveshaft... i need to order the STM mounts.. need at a minimum an electric fan though I really would like a new radiator with it.

Oh yes and after reading my initial post I want to clear something up, I am not bashing McKinney nor am I sayin anything negative towarsd their quality, I like their whole swap kit and the only reason I don't ask for the comments of those who used em is because its explained perfectly well on their site. Ok well Carry on.. let me know what you guys did!

i had a guy here in town do it.. prolly the best werk i have ever seen.. i just gave him the measurement.... he used 3 inch tubing.. brand new 300zx yoke and nissan rear diff flange.. all new.. one piece.. fit like a glove and werks great.. i paid $325

[krayton]

cyris, whered you get your yoke at? Also was it N/a or TT. Or does that even matter?

...getting close to custom driveshaft time

[cyris3d]

doesnt matter.. its the same.. any drive shaft place should be albe to get it easy.. and the stock DS is about 2.75 inches.. if you are goin to go one piece.. its a good idea to go 3inch.. it wont cause vibration at high rpm..

thanks a lot Cyris thats what I wanted to know.

[cyris3d]

np

[krayton]

yeah thanks cyris, hopefully mine goes as smooth as yours

[cyris3d]

np. if ya need to know how to measure for it.. lemme know

[krayton]

Yeah sure, why dont you post it?

I know bryson wanted the measurments to compare.

My swap is in a s14, so I don't think its gonna be the same.

You measure from the transmission seal to the back of the rear flange. With the R33 crossmember and mounts mine came out to 46 1/2".

[FAST-DATSUN]

AS not all Yokes are the same, you need the Yoke to install into the trans to get the measurment (Yoke cL to flange). Some yoke will bottom out and some do not......which can throw off the fit..
