S14 box is same length as S13, I had to cut the hole in the floor back on my car about 3 inches to get the S14 one in. I used the original gearbox mount, and it bolted up to the original position but needs the holes opening out a little.

What gearbox did you have previously? ie mk1 or mk2?

If its the mk1, cut the dust shield off of the prop and fit in in the gearbox. Then you may have to redrill the floor for the centre bearing bracket. The mk2 props dont have the dust shield on them as this is incorporated on the box.

You might be lucky and find the centre bearing is direct bolt up so you can then just get the rear half shortened.

i had a mk1, what i was looking at doing was keeping the rear shaft that goes onto the diff standard and just ajusting the front shaft from the box

Best to see what its like once the box is in place.

On my Datsun the standard prop with a mk1 style front end is only about 5mm too long despite the shifter being 3" back

o rite so you managed to shunt the unit 5mm back with out modifing the props

I could probably get it in there with brute force but this would be bad news on the gearbox oil seal. It needs to be pretty reasonable to account for subframe and engine movements.

Gonna have a go at shortening the prop myself as I have 2 spare anyway. Once I'm happy with its length then I will get a custom one made.
