Carbon fiber drive shaft length

Hey,

Trying to work out why this driveshaft isn't fitting, then I put it next to the old one:




This driveshaft is about 125 cm long in total and the actual shaft is around 95 cm long. Does anyone have the length of a one piece 2 seater driveshaft? I'm assuming the one I have ISN'T for a 2 seater? Or am I missing something here?

 

LOL guessing your correct!

Thats got to be 2 + 2 tailshaft!

Looks like a 2+2 manual to me.

 

Assuming that it is a shaft for a 300ZX Z32, then you have a 2+2 shaft, obviously.:zlove:

 

ill swap you for a 2 seater chrome molly manual single peice shaft, plus cash on top?

 

lol that's gotta suck.

 

Sorry, I would but I do want a CF replacement. Got a plan of where I want my Z to end up/ Thanks for the offer though aK.

Hopefully this ends up being StS sent the wrong one out to the guy I bought this off and I can just do a straight swap or something.

 

im doing my told ya so dance right about now.... lol

 

....well......

..............I have just read your PM vbevan and that sure seems to be a 2+2 Drive Shaft, if it is for a Z32. If you bought that from Casey as you say, he bought that from me many months ago and I have not heard from him saying that it was the wrong one. I did not know that he sold it

 

Yeah, in this thread he sold it:

And he says it's for a 2 seater etc. and seeing as how he has a 2-seater, seems maybe he got sent the wrong one?

I'm still trying to contact him to check, but if he was sent the wrong one, is it possible to do a straight swap or could we work something out? He never used it cause he is doing a manual conversion and I just lay it next to my old one as I took it out and obviously it's never been in my car haha (I wish it could be in there ) so it's still "brand new".

 

....Hey Vaughan.....`

......according to my records dated 5th December 2006, Casy ordered a CF Drive shaft in a GB that was running at that time. My records show that he ordered a 1990 Z32 - 2 seater Auto, and that was the order sent to ACPT. As I said I have heard nothing until now I will PM you to sort something out

 

maybe its you vaughan!

maybe u actually have a 2+2 manual.. have u ever checked your end?

 

I will have a look at mine when I get home.

 

I'll gladly take it off ur hands

Vaughan if all goes bad

 

wouldnt the CF one be shorter then?

 

if it fits a 2+2 manual I'll have it

 

lol, I'm pretty sure my car is a 2 seater auto hey...dumbass

I had a look under the car, not even close to fitting in anyway shape or form

 

I can give accurate lengths, are the 2+2 manual and auto different lengths? The lengths above are fairly spot on, within 2 cms each way accuracy and it weighs about 6 kgs, maybe a touch less.

 

Thanks, would be good to see what size the 2 seater size is meant to be haha. Even if it helps when I next buy one

Can't believe ACPT sent out the wrong one

 

hahah accuracy 20mm+-? lol thats an oxymoron dude haha
