1 Piece Driveshaft Decisions

[Kr240sx]

Well it is just a street car now my daily driver only in the summer. Eventually it will only be a weekend or nice day car once I get out of school and buy another daily. I still have the stock ka24e which will be swapped out for an SR in a year or so. The VLSD came out of another 240 which I drove and it locks up fantastic, once it dies I will shim it or get a tomei to drop in.

the reason Im going 1 piece is the fact that I have already done suspension and now am working on driveline, trying to make my car the best it can without putting money into the motor setup I will eventually be swapping. This driveshaft will be beneficial now and when I swap my car, thats how I see it.

Plus, i need a driveshaft regardless so I may as well replace it with a quality aftermarket piece.

you do realize that the drive shaft for the ka and the drive shaft for the sr are different? So youll be spending the money for a drive shaft twice. Why do you "need" a new drive shaft? Your seriously better off finding a better used one than yours and then spending the money when you do the swap. But its not my money so you do what you want with it.

I guess you did not know or realize the driveshaft for the KA can be interchanged with the SR. S13 SR will fit S13 KA same as S14SR will S14KA.

They are exactly the same length and have the same input splines. The only real difference is the s13 KA driveshaft has the funny big old rubber coupler for extra damping and the S13 SR one did not.

If you are going to post info post correct info.
