For those that have SAS'ed thier nissan who did you use for the front drive shaft?

Did you do an adapter to Ford CV? Someone local make it for you?

Most of them are running a Woody. Some folks use a driveshaft out of a 4 cylinder D21. For some reason they use outer c clip u joints.

If you need driveshaft or CV work done locally, you can't go wrong with Rocky Mountain Driveline, at 42nd and Tennyson. http://www.rmdriveline.com

i had barry (nissannut) get an adapter for me. he has a shop local to him make them, they are for a ford CV. now i need to find a ford CV, or get a shop to make me a flange for the CV i have so i can bolt it to the adapter.

Does a woody still require an adapter? How much does it cost? How long a lead time?

I spoke with Drive Line Specialists (Henderson, CO) yesterday and they figured about $300 for a ford CV and longer slip added to the nissan shaft. But I would need an adapter like Nut's

The Woody is a custom drive shaft that, unless I had too much wax in my ears while I was up at All Phase during the swap, requires no adapters now that Kev had his made :D

It does require an adapter that Tom Woods supplys with the drive shaft.

Actuall ALL D21s have 1310 ujoints front and rear 1991 or so up. I forget the first year. Pathys do not. I know V6 D21s do. Did not know 4bangers did too.

My 93 D21 is pure 1310 stock and now.

This is the cheapest place I have found for new ones. $55. Add this to a 1310 CV and your good.
