You're looking for a driveshaft to fit into your S14 with an RB25DET? You'll need to have that one custom made.. All you need is the transmission yoke from an Rb25det. (not rb20) OR, you can use one from any Z32 300ZX.

My rb25 didn't come with th eyoke, so I found a Z32 for $25 and had a shop make a custom one for $198. (I just picked it up today) It's not as strong as one of the $500 driveshafts that McKinney or Syko makes, but, It's 3.15" thick and stronger than the stock z32. So, for now, it's good for 300 whp, easy.. Otherwise, this same shop quoted me around $375 for a driveshaft good for 600hp, or $450 for an aluminum driveshaft good for 500-600hp. This is the route i'll go once I get a new turbo, proper fuel, etc.. and by then, I may have a different size differential, so i'll have to match that new flange at that point. But, for now, this one works great for me and I can always sell it later to someone that just wants to get their car running.. that way i can recoupe some of the cash..

Edit: Here is a pic of what $200 did for me. Again, it just has teh stock Z32 u-joint.. It fit perfectly into my car.

BTW, what was everyone's average measurement for their custom driveshaft?

Mine measured 46.25" from the flange mating surface to the seal. (not the output shaft) This is with a Top Hat Performance mounting kit.

your might need to have different sizes for each mount kit and for crossmember swaps.

We now have an amazing driveshaft supplier on board, and so far, I've not seen ANYONE beat their prices.
