Hello fellow niconauts. Well I was wondering if anyone knows a importer or website where I could find a pair of S15 output shaft. There is only one I found, but it looks kind of sketchy (jspec.com). Any help will be much appreciated.

I got mine from Japan through ebay and it came with the diff and the output shafts. I went searching my emails for receipts and did not find anything, so I don't recall the seller. I think if you can get them as a set the seller is a bit more reliable than those that sell one or the other and make you figure it out yourself. Shipping took a long time and it arrived wrapped in seran and a box that looked like it was drop kicked into the ocean and floated over her. It cleaned up nice and I pressed on new bearings and it's a great differential.

Contact the staff at http://www.thenismoshop.com/ It's ran by West Covina Nissan, and last I dealt with them, they can order of the Japanese parts catalogue. That's the more expensive route as ordering from Nissan will cost a considerable amount more. Your other options are to watch ebay, forum classifieds, and upgarage. There are no other alternatives to S15 outputs as far as I know. You can also try companies that specialize in parts importing. That can be a bit of a crap shoot as many of them just have dibs on a grab bag of parts as they come into customs ports.

One thing to be careful about is that the left and right outputs are different lengths. So if you find someone selling singles, make sure you don't buy two of the same length.

JSpec has been around for a long time, but I've never personally bought anything through them. A quick google search didn't really throw up any red flags for poor business practices other than the owner was rude to one guy. Don't get this site confused with J-Spec Auto in Richmond, VA.

Yea I tried thenismoshop.com, yahoo auctions, and upgarage but no luck. Jpec.com has them for $250 new pair but it looks like he is no longer doing business, also I did find one pair on ebay, But $250 for the used shaft are a bit too high for me, not to mention a 12 week wait. I will wait to see if he lowers his price. I will also check if there is a importer in Los Angeles that may have these parts.
