steering rack to steering column u-joint size

[fish2keel]

Can anyone tell me the size for the u joint from the rack side to the steering column size? I understand it's a lower steering column section but trying to put my rack from a s13 in another car but need a new u joint. I see enjuku has one but they are unable to give me a size.

I've heard 1/2-36 spline but can't for the life of my find a universal joint in this size online.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Are you referring to this part?

If so, that joint is not serviceable and you need to replace the whole Assembly.

Yes that is it. I'm just trying to find an aftermarket u joint instead of a Nissan branded 190 dollar unit. Although I'm unsure of the ujoint size needed to try to match it.

Is there a junk yard near you at all? You maybe able to find early model Maximas or stanzas that'll have the u-joint. Tons of 90's Nissan's had this part. At the very least you could find a used one and then take measurements.
