    Driveshaft upgrade

    Hey all im sick of having loads of slop in my cvs so i want to upgrade to thicker driveshafts and upgraded cvs.

    I believe i can use r33gtr driveshafts with r32 gtr output shafts

    I currently have a tomei 2 way in an s15 spec r pumpkin.

    It has 3x2 bolt flanges

    Anyone have any idea what i need.

    Iv been looking for info on here and on dw but there is so many different threads that im more confused now than i was before.

    Thanks for reading.

    As i understand to do that you need to use the r33 diff i want to use my diff in a 4.1 ratio casing but with r33 shafts.

    Did you have to change your hubs too.

    i did a comparison of the half shafts when i took them out and i dont remember them being too different. Although my memoory might be failing me on that ! i will see if took some meaasurements at the time....

    yea you need change the to R33 GTR hubs also as the splined end in quite a bit thicker than standard ones.

    The R33 GTR hubs bolt straight up, if you have a drum style handbrake with a properly fitted anchor bolt you will need to cut the tabs off.

    Edit: When you buy R33 GTR drive shafts make sure they are supplied with the hub nuts.
