Does anyone have one for sale of gift? Thanks.

2 seater or 4?

AZ-ZBum

In the US, the turbos only came as 2 seaters.

if you find the driveshaft from one of those cars, send me the diff!

that is a rare car to find these days. Won't a 1984-86 turbo driveshaft work just the same?

hoov100

but not every turbo z31 in the US is a US model..

i have a complete 1984 300zx turbo auto tranny i belive the auto and 5 speed drive shafts are the same am i wrong ? or am i right ? it doesnt matter i got me a 1984 300zx turbo parts car HA HA .. lol

AZ-ZBum

Nope. Output shaft of the transmission is very different.

Irrelevant. In North America, there were no 2+2 turbo 5 speeds. The Canadian 2+2 turbos were all automatics.

I believe the 84-86 5spd turbo shaft will slip into the auto transmissions (and vice versa). But I'm fairly certain the length was different and will not work.

ahhh... he's screwed

PooFlinginMonke

It's the Z32 turbos that don't come in a 2+2.

AZ-ZBum

Umm.... They did in every country but the US.

Nissan makes a Z33 2+2 twin turbo, right???

NismoPick

It's actually a 2+4 family friendly sport wagon....

Mine's a 2-seater. The fiche (4-M8) shows the following:

07/83 - 2S.VG30T.MT.F5 (37000-03P00)
09/86 - VG30T.MT.F5 (37000-23P00)

Have no idea why the 09/86 part doesn't have the 2S because like Z-Bum said, only 2-seat 89T were sold in the US. Also, there seems to be a gap in the fiches for the 08/84-08/96 2S.VG30T cars!!!! Based on the fiche data, only the 09/86 data will fit mine.

So, does anyone have a driveshaft for this car?

260zturbo

why not just go get one made?

Darkmann

How? Who makes them?

260zturbo

shops do make custom driveshafts. ask around or look in a phone book. i dont know where u live but im sure their is somewhere where u can make a custom driveshaft. i had mine done to fit my sx tranny. had bigger knuckles and thicker. only cost around 150 for a kick *** driveshaft.

Darkmann

I live in MD and I'm sure someone here (MD, VA, DE, DC area) makes one. I'll start looking. BTW I did get a used driveshaft and the car is running fine now. But I have no idea what the mileage was on the used one and I have this sinking feeling it'll start vibrating in a few years. I'll like to have a spare made.

260zturbo

u can get a spare one made and get the other balanced. they will tell u if its worth it or not (the yokes could have seen better days) but if u have one that fits the car just give that to them and they will be able to easily make u one.

AZ-ZBum

Does anyone else think "MORON" every time they see someone type the letter "U" instead of writing out "YOU"?

260zturbo

Did I hurt YOUR feelings bum?????? Surely would not want to do such a thing. As for as writing proper grammar on a internet forum, it is pretty pointless. Guess dealing with people like you every day just makes my IQ go down below 60. So I guess that makes me a "MORON".

turboZ87.300

I have a 87 turbo I got with no tranny... so I got a non turbo tranny out of a 86 5 speed but the drive shaft didn't fit the tranny... sooooo I got the drive line to fit the tranny... now it will not fit the diff... soooooo I took the tranny back and I found a Borg Warner turbo tranny .. I put it in and now the drive line don't fit LOL aaaaaaaaaaaa... I go back and get the drive line for that tranny... now turbo for turbo riiiiiiiight NO the diff side of the of the drive line will not fit... so I changed the yoke and all is good LOL.

I do have the drive line from my 87 turbo but the u joint is no good...

AZ-ZBum

Exactly. It's a message board. A place where anyone and everyone can read and post, that would include your boss, prospective clients, prospective employers, etc. So if you want to come across as an un or undereducated individual, that's your prerogative.

If you're on a PM or instant messenger where you're talking with your friends, feel free to type however you want. Those are private (well, unless you're Dog the Bounty Hunter) discussions.

I guess dealing with people like you all the time makes me ornery and cranky.

hoov100

eh, i see no probem with using "U" instead of you and "Y" instead of why, but its not bad until people start typing like this "c u l8rz!!!!111" but just a little abbreviation here and there isnt bad.

260zturbo

I dont want to get in a pissy match on a internet. Gonna agree with you I should of used proper grammar but I didnt think it would of matter so much . Im sorry to upset you but i was trying to give someone info. I have respect for you so im just let this blow by.

NismoPick

He's just picky about grammar... oh, and sometimes he doesn't get sarcasm.
