    hey all just after a bit of info on what tailshaft fits in what zeds ect.
    so tt only fits tt and na only fits na and auto only fits auto and manual only fits manual is that correct? also are the unijoints in zeds serviceable and can u use the diff end from another vehicle wats the go? i have a 2+2 auto and my uni joints are rooted and really need to find a way to get it back on the road again and help would be great cheers

    Get a one piece, problem with the unis solved for good.

    Also, NA & TT, 2+0 & 2+2, Auto & Manual are all different.

    As a whole they are different, but parts are the same.

    TT and NA manual front halves are the same.

    TT and NA auto front halves will fit with mods (I believe, Eric mentioned something about it).

    TT manual and auto rears are the same IF on the same length chassis (so 2+0 and 2+0, not 2+0 and 2+2)

    NA manual and auto rear halves are the same, but with the length issues noted above.

    Centre bearings are all the same (though nissan quotes different prices as they are bastards. Buy them from Driveline services, cheep like the budgie)

    TT diff has a 6bolt flange with a CV joint, NA diff is 4 bolt with a uni joint.

    If you put a NA diff in a TT you need a NA rear shaft to make it all work.

    With 1 piece shafts you have to make sure everything is right. So TT won't fit in a NA, 2+0 won't fit a 2+2, Auto won't fit a TT etc.

    AFAIK the uni's are not serviceable. Getting a 1 piece made is cheaper than a 2 piece.

    Get one out of the USA.
    I've purchased two from them from Z1, one for a TT manual & one for a NA auto.
    Both fitted without any problems & rectified the vibration issues.
    Concept Z also sells them.
