WTB!!! Datsun 510 2dr driveshaft

Post by dat_sr510 »

Ok I’m looking for a 510 2dr/4dr drive shaft for a long tail 280zx transmission swap.

If you have one local to Los Angeles great if not I can pay for shipping thanks.

Are you looking for one already cut, or stock length? I have a stock length available. I bought it years ago for the same purpose, but when I bought the 280ZX trans, it came with another driveshaft.

Hi Mike, correction on that length. With stock L16 motor mounts, I believe the OEM drive shaft needs to be shortened 4 7/8” a Most just go 5” a there’s plenty of engagement.
I’ve shortened many, but I’m a little far from you, I’m sure you can find one closer.

Good luck on the driveshaft hunt.

I would assume the amount cut is the difference in transmission lengths. The stock F4W63 is 26" and the FS5W71B is 31.5"
