Miami Drive line in opalocka can do it look them up. Just need to measure the length from the tranny output shaft to the flange on the diff.

You have to make a new driveshaft. Just keep the u-joint that goes to the nissan transmission and the joint to the toyota diff.

well it has the AE has a s13 bottom end , its a s13 diff welded so thats why im askin which driveshaft to get or if its jsut better to make a new one
 
Try seeing if a s13 stock driveshaft will fit if not then take them the u joints from the driveshaft with the measurements.
 
They can make you one from scratch or if you have both of the drive shafts sometimes they might be able to cut and re weld them depending on the diameter of the shafts I think.
 
If you have an S13 IRS suspension/diff then just go to any local driveshaft shop and give them measurements from the pinion to the output shaft. Also specify what U-Joints you want to be using 1310 are good for about 500hp but you will need to send them the pinion flange if you have a stock AE diff so they can drill out 1310 joints. http://www.pstds.com/driveshafts_101.htm these guys are awesome. Whatever you do don't go to the driveshaft shop, fucking morons work there.
 
alex would know this but i forgot his username. he used to have a ka in his 86 before he swapped in the vq
 
homeskillet is a peice of shit.


on a different note. homeskillet did my ka swap and sourced out a driveshaft so he sure knows what to do. if ur using an s13 rear diff then its even easier.. take them the stock driveshaft so they can use the ends and they will make you and balance you a new driveshaft.

its a stock KA so i think a regular driveshaft would be fine right ?? so just cut the s13 one tkae the u-joints n have them weld it n make a custom one.. is it here in DADE or BROWARD ? , thanks man
 
hey bro dont worry so much lol
broward drivetrain will hook it up, but they will not touch stock U joints cuz they suck.
plus the stock s13 is a weird rubber thing thats not even a U joint.
ill get u the measurements asap

I would fork out the little extra cash for a new driveshaft to be made with new U-Joints, remember those are 20+yr old u-joints. I don't know if you have ever had a u-joint go bad but I have, on the interstate, going 70 and my driveshaft exploded because I had a bad u-joint. Ripped my e-brake cables/brackets off, spread out my trans tunnel and almost came through my floorboard, no fun. PST is in Clearwater.
