for those who made a custom driveshaft with a Z yoke, and the rear mounting plate. seeing these are non serviceable shafts did you have to have something special done to the yoke or anythign to get the shaft made(like drill out the welding around the ujoint) or was someone able to press the ujount out somehow? i sawsalled the shaft off the ujoint so i have a joke with a ujoint and a plate with a ujoint, but the ujoints are bad and need to be replaced. im just wondering what you all did to make your driveshafts with these supid non servicable shafts.

i would take the yolk and the rear plate piece to a local driveshaft shop and have them make you a one piece and balanced. becareful with doing it yourself, as the shaft needed to properly ballanced to prevent severe vibration on drive train.

they normally cut of the ujoint and make a 1piece. it varies from shop to shop...just ask them how they preferred you to messure.

sorry for the slight thread highjack. Do you or anybody else, know what the specs for the york they use to make the driveshafts are? I don't have the RB25 driveshaft and my local driveshaft shop doesn't seem to carry the Z32 one. I know a few people said they got theirs made using yorks that were not specifically for Z32s but just happened to be the same specs.
