I wanted to post this in the older gen, and also in the newer gen forum....

 

I have access to THIS info about the front axles...

 

but no info about the rear axles.

 

I am investigating the possibilities of parts interchange between Sooby and Datsun, specifically, searching for a junkyard source of parts for conversion of the U-joint style halfshafts on the Z and 510, to CV joints.

 

The differentials used swap back and forth from Subaru to Nissan all day, even though most datsuns need more than the R-160 that is FAR and away the most common in Subaru Land. The actual axles themselves are quite likely easily sourced out of a Nissan, if the other parts needed (companion flanges, diff output flanges, etc) might be pulled from a 4wd ea82 or leggy.. BUT, I need data!! Overall axle length, spline count, bolt patterns on flanges, etc!

 

ANY data is welcome, as I have no clue where to begin on this.

 

Mods, I wanted to throw this into newer gen and older gen forums to get some attention before it landed in the retrofit forum. If you want to merge the threads after a couple of days, feel free.. but if its at all possible, I would appreciate letting them sit in the forums where they were planted for a day or two first.
