Propeller shaft differences

Hi guys.

I am doing a V160 conversion and I found out that my prop shaft is 15mm shorter at the back part of the prop shaft. So I barely reach the flange of the diff. I measured the back part of the propshaft and this one is 66cm. I need one of 68cm. I was wondering is the back part of the propshaft of a Soarer SC400 V8 will fit? This one has a small diff and on the drawings it seems to be identical as the Supra one. Only I don't know the length.  

Apparently I do have a propshaft of a Big diff, since this one is longer than the small diff. That is the reason why it is 1.5-2cm shorter. I didn't know that.

Thank you in advance guys.

Cheers,

Manuel

Easiest fix would be to insert a 15mm spacer which is essentially just an aluminium disc with the diff flange holes drilled.

Its a common fix applied by the landy crowd when they mess around with the set ups.

What diff is it? What prop are you using?

Apparently I bought a V160 with a  Big diff prop shaft (didn't know that) and I have a small diff 3.2 (TT).  I measured the prop shafts of my Supra and one with a Big diff and they are the same length. However, the big diff is longer compared to the small diff.

Hi guys.

The prop shaft of the Lexus SC400(V8) is to long. It’s about 20cm longer than the oem TT small diff.

so I have 3 options:

- cut the long SC400 (back part of the prop shaft) to the right length and balance it.

- buy an adapter that is 20mm thick specially design for this kind of trouble

- buy an other prop shaft for small diff TT V160.
