as some of you might know i'm in the proccess of fitting an N/A rear to the old girl.

the problem i had was my prop shaft. its a one piece ally TT shaft so i didnt want to get ride of it for an N/A shaft,

reason being money's tight and didnt fancy shelling out for another prop so, this is how i over came the problem......

 

one ally spacer, machined from a solid lump costing £20, 5 hack saw blades and 2 days in the work shop on a lathe and pillar drill.

 

the thin ring spacer is original which came with the prop.

 

 

 

the two are then bolted together.....

 

 

 

it is then bolted to the diff flange to bring the distance out to the same spec as a TT....

 

 

 

planning to get it all up and running by next week:dance:

i hope you know how much traction you are gonna loose by fitting a n/a diff ! brilliant way to get round the prop

thanks Paul, i did think about the traction issue and im contemplating on setting up the AEM TC

 

 

:)

Good job and well done!

If anyone is else is fitting an N/A diff to a TT. I got a 1 piece prop shaft in ally from the states for a TT but was made for an N/A length and has the bolt holes for a TT :cry:

Just wap it on :D

thanks smithy.

 

Wozzer might well be in the market for your prop. i know he's going down the N/A rear route

 

:)

bullets gunna be the wheelspin king... nice mod there mate. Becoming one the forums finest zeds for tracking :D keep it up.

cheers Jimbo, a couple of pints on me in Holland for you bud

hi bud ....

 

let me know what you want for the prop ...;)

 

wozzer...

 

..

That is some very cool modding matey!

thanks Radon

 

 

:)

No probs mate credit where credit is due. Let me know how you get on with the AEM TC as Ive got the racelogic set up. If the AEM is any good I might ditch it and use the AEM.

no probs, as soon as its all set up and ive had a play, il give you the low down

just thought Smithy, you would have to make up a diff flange to suit the prop but, then the lengh would not match.

or you could swap flanges over but, then the sizes would suit a TT shaft anyway.

still it could be possibe with a little machine work, you could turn up a bespoke diff flange the size of an N/A with TT bolt holes.

if you like i could price the job up for ya, still have some raw material left over;)

Cool ;) what i'll do is post up up a pic and you can see what yer think i got.

But i ordered a TT 2+2 prop and cos the US 2+2's are N/A's the company done it as an N/A length but with a TT flange on it! Hence when i came to fit it on my TT 2+2 it was the wrong length, dohh

Too much hassle to send back.

Wozzer will see what i paid for it, but if suitable i reckon about 100 quid plus postage ? See what you think or what silverbullit says when i post the pic eh?

cheers

im intreaged now...

easy way to tell, the TT stock prop (JDM,UK. not sure on US) has a six blot pattern whilst the N/A is a square four bolt pattern. the one peice shaft (TT) i have from Z1 has a rectangular four bolt pattern with a six bolt converting spacer.

so.... if your prop end has a rectangular face with around 1/2" difference between perpendicular sides and is too long then i dont think it can be used without machining a new diff flange.

but.... if the bolt patern has equal sides then its possile that its an N/A fitment.

 

when you post the pics, can you measure between bolt holes( off center, not through axis) and the overal lengh of the shaft

 

:)

Here yer go mate, i know the pic ain't clear on the flange just yet, but it has got 6 holes in the flange. These were the pics i sent the suppiler.

Oh and total end to end length is approx 53ins

Cheers

thats bizzare, its definatly got a TT flange pattern but with an N/A length.

i suppose the only way of doing it other than making a new diff flange would be to swap yokes over with an N/A one.

either way is going to be pricey.

what a bugger!!! so what was their responce to it all or have you not contacted them yet?

Thats it in a nutshell! Cos 2+2's were only N/A's when sold in the US, I asked for a TT 2+2 shaft and got this :D Likes of Z1 have all the measurements for all various types of shafts so should have went there.

It's been sat in my garage for over a year before i even attempted to fit it and that was last year, yikes so no point but i guess i should try!

Anyway, would this fit if someone fitted an N/A box in a TT ? or is that a daft question, lol

Or how about would it fit an N/A and only use the 4 bolt holes as needed ?

or even better :D it looks like the flange is in place with circlips ? could i just have them send me a flange for an N/A and swap them over and sell it to an N/A owner ?

Might have gathered, not my specialst area, lol

cheers

hay smithy i bought my prop from czp and its a 2+2 TT perfect fit :D

Yeah I know his are good too, most of the companies over there now have all the Jap/UK/European sizes to work off, dohhh
