How to one piece drive shaft

[VIPhan07]

When I was trying to do this myself I couldn't find the information. So I figured I can help someone out who wants to make their own one piece drive shaft.

If you have a SR or KA trans the Slip Yoke part# 3103-24
Flange Yoke (connects to diff) part #3102-21

I Found these online for $90 for both shipped

If you have a S14 with non abs diff, a drive shaft from a 81-92 Chevy Camaro will fit perfectly. Most of those are steel but I was lucky enough to find an aluminum one out of the Super Sport Camaro for $20 at a swap meet.

U- Joints part# 1310 (can get from any automotive part store)

Made my own one piece aluminum drive shaft for under $150 definitely beats $400+ from online stores.

Obviously this will not fit every car out there. but all you'll need to do is find a car with the drive shaft length you need and U-joints to connect everything. good luck!

How thick is the Driveshaft???????? Inside Wall to Outside Wall.

Don't forget to balance it

Yeah how much does balancing cost

For an S13 you can use a 510 driveshaft, spline side fits the KA/SR transmission. Need to shorten it and use your rear yoke. Taking it to a shop is also less than $150, but it's thinner than the Driveshaftshop or shaftmasters one

Great information for posterity's sake, having the part numbers for the U joints and yokes - I'd almost edit your post to ensure you tell people to get quality SPICER or similar parts...not ebay junk (as some may not know any different)....

...but at the same time not many people have welders, or shaft balancers nearby...thus making that DSS (or similar brand) shaft make more sense.

Either way, nice tech info here for those looking. (I went big joint with all of mine when I built it :D )
