    it really depends on what kind of car you have and the shaft yolk and differential flange are different for certain trims/years as well, so you would have to have a custom longer driveshaft made that mike has not supplied measurements for.

    I imagine the only one you will see when they start rolling out are the measurements mike had for his own setup- which some will mimic or he can probably refer to who made it for him.

    The other sizes/types/suppliers will eventually surface as more people tackle the install successfully.

    From the multilink swap thread WHICH YOU SHOULD READ IN IT'S ENTIRETY BEFORE GOING THROUGH WITH THE SWAP....

    Here are the parts I've used on driveshafts for the subframe swap. These are part#'s for Powertrain Industries https://www.powertrainindustries.com/catalogs.htm . It should be enough info to steer your local ds shop in the right direction so they can build you a shaft. Here it go.

    Slip Yokes
    30A: Part#3103-30
    71C: Part#3103-24
    T-5: Part#3103-26

    U-joint
    1310 Spicer non-greaseable

    Pinion Flange
    S14: Part#3102-21
    Pretty sure all S-chassis are the same. Compare the measurements of this part and measurements on your diff pinion flange to make sure if it will fit.
    PART NUMBER 3102-21
    PILOT DIA. 1.967
    BOLT CIRCLE DIA. 3.200
    BOLT HOLE DIA. .395
    FACE TO C/L 1.772

    Shaft Length
    2-seater: 760mm (measured between C/L of U-joints)
    2+2: This should be the above + the difference in the stockers?

    UPDATE:



    Dave at Touge Factory would like to further support the development of the Z31 chassis. They have offered to sell us their aluminum subframe bushings at the discounted price of $110 if 10 people buy bushings
    . Normal Price is $149 on these bushings.

    If you would like Touge Factory Aluminum Subframe Bushings to go with your Subframe conversion kit, please PM me here. The total will be due with the remainder of the subframe conversion kit payment. The list on page 1 will be updated with those who would like bushings.

    This price is good for the standard bushings (adapting S13 subframe) as well as the offset (adapting S14/S15). Please specify which with your payment.

    The subframe conversion kit is 90% done. I have not yet received the CNC plasma cut "box in" pieces for the front extensions. Please be patient, they are trying to get them finished this week.

    -Mike

    Great deal on the bushing set. Too bad I was impatient and bought my set from them a month ago. I could have saved some money. In my opinion, they’re worth the $149 I paid and I think they are definitely worth the $110 that’s being offered now. Jump on this deal people and help support a great company that supports the z31 community.
