Does the Aluminum Driveshaft for R34 replace the two-piece factory shaft?

Yes. The Aluminum Driveshaft for R34 is a single shaft that takes the place of the two-piece factory driveshaft and its center hanger bearing. Without the hanger, the shaft no longer moves up and down under throttle, and Driveshaft Shop says the car reacts faster and feels more responsive as a result.

How much power is the driveshaft rated for?

Driveshaft Shop rates the Aluminum Driveshaft for R34 at 1,200HP. That rating comes from the 3.5 inch 6061-T6 aluminum tube and from a rear CV whose internals have been upgraded to a higher grade of chromoly than the factory joint.

Will this driveshaft fit a rear-wheel-drive R34 Skyline?

No. This shaft is built for the all-wheel-drive R34 Skyline GT-R, chassis code BNR34. Driveshaft Shop makes separate driveshafts for the rear-wheel-drive Skyline models, which use a different shaft, so check the chassis code on the car before ordering. Bulletproof Automotive can help confirm it.

Should I choose the aluminum or the carbon fiber shaft?

Driveshaft Shop makes both for the R34 GT-R. The aluminum shaft uses a 3.5 inch 6061-T6 tube and is the better value for most tuned street cars. The carbon fiber shaft uses a 3.25 inch high modulus tube, saves rotating weight and costs more, which suits builds where every part is chosen for competition.

What warranty does Driveshaft Shop give on the shaft?

Driveshaft Shop backs the shaft with a 1-year warranty, and every DSS driveshaft is dynamically balanced at over 9,000 RPM before it ships. The part is non-refundable once it has been installed, so confirm the chassis and drivetrain of the car first.

Description

Driveshaft Shop Aluminum Driveshaft for R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R

Driveshaft Shop’s Aluminum Driveshaft for R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R is a one-piece 6061-T6 aluminum shaft, 3.5 inches across, that bolts in where the BNR34’s two-piece factory shaft and its hanger bearing used to be. The R34 was the last car to carry both the Skyline and GT-R names, and good ones are now treated as collector cars, so a part that improves the drive without cutting or welding anything matters. DSS rates the shaft at 1,200HP. For most tuned R34s this is the right shaft; the carbon version earns its price on cars built to the limit.

Design and Performance

The factory GT-R propeller shaft is made in two sections joined at a center hanger bearing, and that bearing lets the shaft move up and down when power goes through it. Driveshaft Shop replaces the pair with one 3.5 inch 6061-T6 aluminum tube, keeping a CV joint at the rear but with its internals changed to a higher grade of chromoly. The result is a direct bolt-on part: no cutting, no welding, and no change to the transmission or the rear differential.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
