Rear Axle Discussion

[KiLLeR2001]

I have a set of LH Z32TT/LH Q45 axles for 240sx. PM me for more info.

[KiLLeR2001]

Just to clarify, stock 240sx axles, J30 axles, Z32NA, 350z axles etc are all 29-spline.

The Z32TT / G50 Q45 axles are 32-spline.

[dorkidori_s13]

S15 Helical and R34 GTS-T are 30 Spline

just thought id add that...

[S-Verteen]

Brndck, I have an s13 with a 350z diff approximately 1/4 wider on each side paired with 350z axles and gktech lower control arms extended about 1 inch.

[Drink&Drift]

anyone been running the 350Z axles for awhile, and/or used them for drifting? thinking about jumping into that setup.

or does anyone have any recommendations for upgraded/reman axles?

[240sxrb30]

Is anybody running a 350z rear end and axles in a s14.

NA Z32 / Early J30 Rear Axle INNER BOOTS appear to be discontinued and NLA

Does anyone have a source for these?

Inner Boot PN: 39741-03P27
Outer Boot PN: 39241-73L28

I am totally bummed about this.

I had to do the runaround for a while trying to find them then found some random ad on (iirc) rock auto for a beck and arnley part number, then went to Oreilly with that part number and had them within a week. Did it a year ago and don't remember the part number. z32NA inner

[KiLLeR2001]

5-bolt J30 inner and outer boots still available.

Not when you try to place an order through any NISSAN dealership. Doubt that trademotion website is current.

[derek king]

This thread should be cleaned and sticky'd. Good info

[ixfxi]

Only prob is that I wanted to keep with OEM since i know these boots will last decades. I have a hard time buying aftermarket. I am going to look into Japan market and see what I come up with

[ixfxi]

Wanted to bump this thread and see if anyone has rear axle lengths for the R32/R33/R34 Skyline, for both GTR and non-GTR. This would be useful info to add to this thread.

Just curious....has anyone tried these out? Feedback on the setup?

/\/\/\/\ I have these, and imo they're the best option available to solve this problem. Villains has very good customer service as well, plus, they'll give you a discount if you can send them multiple sets of stub axles.

I have them on my current setup, but my car is undriveable. They looks super stout and shouldn't pose any problems. Nate's customer service was above and beyond. +1 for the Villains

Nismo 2-way in S14 diff housing
3.69 final drive
SPL solid diff bushings
OE z33 axles
Gktech rear knuckles
Contano hubs

@BRN...thanks for the info bud. What diff setup are you running if you dont mind me asking. I found 2 sets of Z32tt axles but the going rate for them has more than tripled since I last picked up my 3.54 diff setup.

carbonetics 1.5way, s13 pumpkin w/s14 greddy rear cover (s14 subframe in an s13), villains stub shafts, z33 axles, z32 uprights.

if you're running z32tt axles, make sure you use z32tt hubs too. tt and na are different spline size.

[2muchboost]

@BRN...thank for the info. Yeah still tossing the idea around of running another 3.54 setup in the near future. Had the setup on my Zenki which was junked. This was 3-4 years ago when I picked up my setup with TT hubs but I see the price of the Z32 TT axle is getting pretty insane.

@Mister....awesome bud once again thanks for the help.

Pretty much just brain storming at this time. Would love to find another 3.54 setup if I decide to go FI with the next frankenstein build but if not just looking at other options that will provide similar strength. I never really did any drifting (on purpose) as most of my projects have been built for street and straight line action.

thats wicked. i hope those parts are aligned, balanced and properly welded though.

This was a question I had running through my mind as well. I asked them and so far they haven't had any issues with their products. With my luck I'll probably be the first victim...

[EnergeticPhenom]

Herb, those would be some sick options to 1.) get away from relying on the z32TT axle, and 2.) to run a non VLSD setup.

I think with all that I have put together, I maybe spent close to $1000 for everything (Z32TT hubs, Z32TT Dr. axle, Q45 Dr. Axle, Non ABS S13 Pumpkin, Q45 VLSD 'I think' with the 6 Star Stub axles, and 3.69 Final drive and pinion).

[2muchboost]

x2 that was my thought....everything better be perfectly spec'ed out or the first hard launch and those will become nice paper weights. Still better than the adapters I have seen around...oy vey just the thought of using them under a hard launch.

Sup Wil! Thats the thing, when I bought my 3.54 setup a few years ago I think I spent well under $450 with everything including shipping. Hell I got my first Z32TT axle for under $100 shipped from Washington State to NY. BTW if you are using the Z32TT axles and Hubs then you have the 3.54. The 3.69 (later q45 vlsd) is 5 bolt and the 3.54 (earlier q45) is 6 bolt...the 5 bolt is not compatible with Z32TT Hubs.

Luckily I have some time to brainstorm but will keep up with this thread and those stubs for sure. I have been reviewing a few of the drag forums on FB to see what they are using. Since my cars have always been used in the street I could never see myself using a solid rear end enjoying it.

[Busta]

Very nice for the villains stubs didnt know about these until now. I get the vibes about concerns on balance and proper welds though. What exactly you guys use for hubs z33 or s13/s14 ?

[ixfxi]

someone should check these for runout and that they are perpendicular and centered.

and welded with a mig, no less. crazy!

If you guys know anyone in vegas that can perform these checks, I'll gladly take my stubs to their shop.

[ixfxi]

i imagine that any competent machine shop should be able to check that

Ah I'll look around, but if anyone has a contact that'll hook it up free of charge, let me know. The diff will be going into the car soon and I'm not concerned enough to pay someone to check it. Unfortunately I don't have any machine shop contacts of my own.

Interesting.....
