If you want I can measure my non-ABS driveshaft rear half to confirm. It's just sitting on my garage floor since I swapped to a 1 piece.

if you don't mind, that would be sweet. although i bet the only driveshaft piece that's harder to find than an OEM flex disk, would be someone selling only the front half of a non-ABS driveshaft.

i'll go one piece...when i have $400 and after my carrier bearing starts really blowing up

thanks!



battery bracket and the S14-to-S13 radiator brackets need fabricating.

Ok, it's 27.0" / 685mm flange to flange for the rear half.

Front half is 13-3/8" / 340mm flange to the flex disc.

I'd sell you mine cheap but with one caveat, the rear U joint feels stiff. Not loose or noisy but notchy. I actually just replaced the center bearing though. It's a surprisingly easy job.

thanks - PM me if you have a price in mind, but if there's no negative effects of this at the moment i'll probably save money til i can get a one-piece.



i separated the halves to take the center bearing off and had no idea how to get this 27mm nut off. nissan used some kind of press to push the center into the keyed part of the shaft. couldn't manage to "un-press" it.
