    Would a TT2+0, TT2+2, or a 2+2 Tailshaft fit my n/a 2 seater ?

    No, no and no.

    Pretty sure TT is six bolt flange and NA is four bolt.

    You need to match length (2+0 or 2+2), transmission (manual or auto) and differential (TT or NA).

    parker Been around for a bit

    because

    When you flog the piss out of your car things break. Unfortunately it's a by product of doing crazy stuff with machines.

    Ha man why on earth would you think that'd fit?! Where are you located? You can probably get one made locally to suit if you're in a hurry, or if you can wait it out they're cheap as from the USA

    Is there a Hardie Spicer out that way? If you take your tail shaft to a d/shaft place they should be able to make one up for you. Or try John P at Unique Autos they advertise them on their website www.300zx.com.au

    Because im on my green's can't drive turbo yet. Why do u have to drift turbo cars anyways ? dont need the power to slide, naturally aspirated is good enough

    :/

    I'm sorry but thats all ive got lol

    zeds are one of the worst cars to drift as they have so much grip let alone trying to use the power in a clapped out 20yr old NA

    where did the driveshaft break? i would have doubted you had the power to snap a drive line

    All good
    The tailshaft didn't break, its just making a loud vibration noise
    I find drifting the 300 fine, its just that i havn't built it yet to drift thats why things keep breaking in my opinion, power is fine atm still get enough wheel spin

    ....eventually i will drift the 300, regardless what people say

    Hint:
    Spend less time trying to "Drift" a car that is not suitable for that particular driving style(and a bit more time on learning how to use a Telephone Directory).
    There comes a point at which you have to start doing something yourself otherwise you will never get smarter(and all those Wiz Kids will leave you behind).:p:zlove:

    wait... so you are trying to source a new tail shaft without even getting under the car to check that the old one was busted?

    :/ .... dude, seriously?

    Sounds like just a centre bearing if its rattling around.

    "its not built for drift and thats why things keep breaking"

    then why are you still 'drifting'?

    Ive been under the car already and fyi ive already changed the bearing.
    "its not built for drift yet and thats why things keep breaking" only few cars were ever made to drift . Such as the new toyota 86. Every drifter, car owner, circuit racer out there has built there car for specific purposes. I want my 300 drift u dont like it gtfo

    *facepalm*

    no car was built to drift from factory

    ""its not built for drift yet and thats why things keep breaking" only few cars were ever made to drift "

    i mean YOU need to build it to drift before you keep drifting or you are just burning money and destroying your car..

    build it THEN drift...
