80 Uni VS GQ Uni

Post by **DIRTY ROCK STAR** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 9:06 am

Just wondering, on first glance a GQ uni looks larger then an 80.
but measured what we could without pulling the shafts apart and not having 2 unis out. they look very very similar.
can anyone confirm are they identical or different items just similar.

this is more of a fingers crossed thing. as i have now found out GQ tailshaft flange(rear) is too large to fit with re-drilling onto an 80 series diff flange.
and the design team feels it is too dodgy to run a larger plate as an adaptor with holes drilled in it to suit both flanges.
thoughts on this? in a low speed vehicle, just trying to get built for TTC in 24 days. then i can get a better custom shaft made with time and $$ on my side.

Your design team sucks. Just make the adapter

Your not driving it to TTC are you.

a properly machined adaptor will be fine we make them all the time and no a nissan uni is larger than the 80 series uni 32mm cap against 30mm for the toyota

Try a GQ 2.8 diesel shaft as the flange is smaller but from memory the uni is bigger ( i could be wrong on the uni).
But the bolt pattern and the flange at either end of the shaft is deffinetly smaller.

Hev has allready had custom shafts made. And didnt check that he could get it to fit before hand.
