Driveshafts that fit a turbo conversion?

Maxxed_Ross · 27-12-10, 10:42 AM

Bit of a long shot here, but I'm after drive shafts that will fit the ZS once it's fitted with a T series turbo.

I'm still using the PG1 gearbox... but I've no idea what driveshafts I need. The ones I was told would fit turned out to be totally wrong and the splines at the gearbox end were too small.

Anyone?

Couldnt you use 420 gsi ones for now until you get the right ones

depends how much of a rush your in mate, i'm getting some double hard capable ones made early next year, which renders the ones i have now useless. welcome to them for delivery costs mate.

420gsi bubble ones fit (cars fitted with N/A T series)

Rover 400/45 diesel ones also fit

Apparently v6 180 ones will fit (or with slight modification). But not 100% sure on this still as I haven't had them off yet.

420 bubble or diesel shafts both fit, and will take pretty big power output, but they have a weakness if rust has got a hold under the harmonic damper, a few have broken in the past because of this

I'll take you up on that mate, always handy to have a spare set just incase

Think it's 420 bubble shafts I have and they are too small. The splines just rattle around inside the diff

Managed to find a guy on ebay that has a spare set for his track car that I can have quite cheaply... just hope they fit!
