Now that I have seen what U-joint half shafts look like for certain, I know my 2+2 NA has CV joints. I think it may be that the 82-83 2+2 cars had CVs in the 2+2 even if it was a non-turbo.

'79 blue verified his 2+2 has u-joints. My 82 non-turbo has CV joints. When I bought this car it was bone stock owned by an older guy. I really doubt something as obscure as the half-shafts would have been swapped out... so, my theory is that after the turbo came out, they re-used the CV joints in the 2+2 models.
My 83 parts car (non-turbo, 2-seater) has u-joints. But we all knew that already.

Here are your dimensions. this will give you 5 lugs on 4 1/2 bolt circle. This MUST be done by a competant machinist. Machining to be done from the back side. New studs are available from Summit. get the studs with .505 press diameter.

Actually there aren't any tolerances on the drawing. This was done with AutoCad which gives dimensions to the nearest .0001. You can round them off to the nearest .001. As for tolerance I would suggest +.002, -000 on the hole diameters and + or - .001 on the X/Y dimensions with a true position of .002. The wheel centralizes on the hub of the axle. The studs and lugs only clamp it to the axle.
With proper location this should be easy on a mill with a DRO.

I have a 1982 280zx turbo 2+2. I found this thread from searching for cv shaft. I have grease oozing out of the shaft on the passenger side and the inner boot on the driver side is ripped. I was searching for cv shafts and found that Autozone sells the pair for $110 after their 20% sale. I also found that Napa sells the boot kits for both inner and outer for both left and right sides for about $80 total. The price difference isn't much but should I just get the boots or the whole shafts? Would the boots be easier to install or does the shaft have to come out to install them? If I have to take out the shafts I might as well put in new shafts, right?

I worked on the right cv axle today. I let the car down on the left side so the diff wouldn't turn while I removed the 6 bolts on the flange. Then I used a long screw driver to pry out the axle from the diff. I noticed that there is a rubber grommet in there. Does anybody replace this grommet with a new one? I ordered a pair from Advance but I'm thinking of leaving it in when I do the left side. It was tough to remove and was still soft and rubbery. Oh, I bought the p/s axle from Oreilly's (remanufactured) and the d/s from ebay seller autopartszilla, brand new. Manufacturer is GSP which appears to be a Chinese company with a manufacturing plant in the USA (Tenn. I think)
