  1. If you're looking at NEW cv's then I probably wouldn't bother cutting costs with the rest of it though. If you're willing to pay for new cv's then just go the whole hog and do the lot custom. Once you're willing to go down the custom axle shaft route it makes the whole process a lot easier. With custom shafts you can use any cv you want and keep the standard circlip NA S13 output flanges and whatever flange you like on the outside end. The prices I quoted for parts were the prices quoted to me to buy these parts locally and not necessarily what I paid, as I had a few of them in the shed already from previous projects. After all this though, the weak link would still be the 240z stub axle on the wheel end anyway. So unless you're upgrading this area then I think this collection of 2nd hand bits and pieces would be sufficient if you can get them for the right price. Custom axles would be a lot less work and headaches and wouldn't cost much more, if any. But the info is there for those that like a challenge like me. For my 240z I had a custom hub carrier made to suit r32 skyline hubs and cv's. It uses r32 GTR brakes and S13 front coilovers. It has a short nose r200 skyline diff with 4.6 ratio gears from a Pathfinder front diff, which some are r200's. It has standard r200 output flanges and inner cv's. It has a Cusco MZ 1 way LSD center and uses Z31 axle shafts.
  2. Not sure about what power it could handle, but it would be the same as whatever an STI Subaru, R30 Skyline or NA S13 could handle. I would think 300hp @ the wheels would be fine and probably around 400hp @ the wheels would be pushing its limits. And that would depend on what type of driving you do to. Drags and drofting would be on the lower end and circuit racing on the upper. Costs can vary greatly as it's all 2nd hand parts. But, the machining etc for the output flanges was $80. The NA S13 shafts with cv's and output flanges was $40. The Terrano output flanges were $20. The 720 diff was $200. The S13 Tomei LSD was $400 from importmonster. The complete R30 car with shafts and diff was $200. R30 shafts alone would have been $40. So $940 total. You wouldn't need the complete cradle though and maybe not even need a diff, so the parts and machining alone was $180. This leaves out the diff, which you may already have and the LSD center which can vary in price. My machinist may be cheaper than your average city machinist as he is a very small business who does a lot of smaller one off jobs. Big machining shops often don't like these types of jobs and charge accordingly. If you're in S.E QLD I can recommend my guy from Ipswich, If you're interstate, look for smaller machinists on the outskirts for better prices.
  3. Short nose R180's from NA S13's and the front diff's from Navara's, Pathfinders and terrano's have 27 spline output flanges. They are bolt in style though and 6x2 bolt flange pattern. Only the short one from the 4wd's is useful though, as one is around 2 foot long as the diff is offset a long way to one side. The S13's output flanges are 27 spline and are circlip style, but the flange pokes out from the diff about 2 inches each side which will impact on what shafts you can use. I have put a long nose R180 from a 720 4wd with a NA s13 short nose Tomei 2 way LSD into my C210 Skyline. What I did was use 2 short output flanges from a Terrano front short nose R180. I had the tips of 2 NA S13 output flanges cut off at the circlip groove. I had them drilled and tapped to suit the Terrano flange's bolts, and bolted them to the end of Terrano output flanges. I had the Terrano flanges tips machined prior so that the circlip groove would be in exactly the right place. I used the Terrano output flanges instead of the NA S13 ones because they are flush with the diff and don't poke out as much. This makes finding factory shafts a lot easier. You get around 2 inches extra length of shaft to play with on each side with the Terrano flanges. I then used NA S13 cv joints on the inside end of the axles. The shafts you use will obviously depend on the car it's going into, but I used R30 shafts with R30 cv's on the outside as it's all mounted in an R30 cradle. I have a different setup in my 240z so I can't be sure what shafts would suit, but I think 2 x R30 short side shafts may be close to fitting. From memory I think they were 390mm and 400mm. NA S13 cv's and R30 cv's share the same shaft spline size and count. I'm not sure about the flange on the wheel end, but I think R30 flanges may fit in place of the 240z flange so that it can bolt up to the R30 cv. If not the you may be able to squeeze an adapter flange inbetween. Alternatively You may be able to use subaru r180 inner cv's with R30 short shafts. I have not measured this idea, but It would be worth looking into if you can get the cv's with a subaru diff. Getting custom shafts made is not overly expensive though. I had a pair shortened and resplined for $360. I was told I could have a pair made from 4140 for not much more, about $400.
  4. Forgive me if I have misunderstood, but I think HS30-H you have slightly misunderstood datkman's question. I don't think he requires that a car was supplied to anyone with the options. What it appears he needs is proof that it was supplied for road use with these options, ie; rally, as a rally car must be road registered any car built for rally has been built for road use. Supplied for road use and supplied to someone are not necessarily the same. Now I think the question is really, did Nissan build the factory works rally cars? If so then this proof would have to help his case. If not then I am mistaken.

  6. Hey Vegas, I'm pretty sure those ratios are available on Yahoo auctions Japan. You will probably need a middle man to buy them for you if you don't speak Japanese. Australia has a few, so I'm sure the USA would too. Ask around on Hybridz.org they will know who can get these for you.
  7. I have a pair of shortened r200 axles for sale. They are r200 axles from 32/33/34 skylines, z32 300zx n/a, s13/14/15 etc. They suit any of the 27 spline CV's from these models and z31 300zx turbo or dr30 turbo etc They will suit an r200 conversion into a Z with companion flanges or aftermarket stub axles etc like thoses from Modern Motorsports etc Please do your research to ensure these will suit your specific conversion. Sizes as follows: 357mm and 367mm long (14 1/16" and 14 3/8" long) approx 35mm shorter than z31 turbo axles 27 spline 30mm diameter Axle shafts only, no cv's. Reason for sale, I decided to go another route. $400 plus shipping, will ship worldwide. Pickup is ok. Location Redbank Plains, QLD, 1/2 hour out of Brisbane PM or call/text me on 0401598047 First 2 pics are of the axles, 2nd 2 are the reason they are for sale.
  8. Hi Ben, What can you get for C210 Skylines? I'm after a FG bonnet and front chin spoiler for my coupe.
  9. After a set too. Pm sent
