ManwithSupra Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi There, Been mocking up propshafts today but needed a bit of guidance if that's ok. I think I am right in saying the angle of the flange on the gearbox has to be the same as the angle on the Diff?? This is just a mock up at the moment As this is slightly different to the usual Supra, I was just wondering if anyone could lend us some advice/thoughts.:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Diffsalot Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yes the two angles should be as similar as possible to stop vibrations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 You could consider c/v (Rzeppa) joints instead of the rubber doughnut and a Hardy Spicer cross type joint. Will need adaptors (not recommended) or diffrent g/box nd diff flanges. Some info here, quite maths heavy: http://what-when-how.com/automobile/universal-joints-automobile/ I went for a heavy duty motorsport hardy Spicer on the front, and a c/v joint at the diff end, in 2 piece format on my Skyline. But your very short shaft may be OK as a one piece. Reco Prop are pretty good at recommending suitable set ups. GKN are world class along with Ricardo, but getting to the "right man" will be tricky.
