    Nah, you need a T series tail shaft (rear half) its about 1/4" inch (5mm) shorter. You could get one made though.

    well i have a T50 box with a tail shaft that is made to fit sprinter with T series diff convertion.

    I got it off "irally" from toymods. I paid $200 for the box and tail shaft.
    so it you want you can pay me $200 and you can have it. I was told that to Box is in a prefect condiction.

    or otherwise you'll have to find a Tseries tail shaft from the T series Diff.
    is just doing it this way you have another T50 gear box.

    i heard that when you get a JDM 86 disk brake diff dont you have to get a jdm brake booster as well?

    can you run say an ae90 brake booster instead?

    on the other hand.
    thank you for all the interest on the gear box and tail shaft.

    I not really in need of money.

    it have a little while seen i had a look at the box and tail shaft.
    so i can have a look at the condiction for you guys.

    But i from Sydney, I go the Oran Park with the guys from IDA as much as I can.
    so I can bring it there if you guys are really interested.

    as for sending it for SA or WA. well I not too keen, cause I'm too lazy to organise the pick. but if you like you can get them to pick it up from my place.

    other wise sorry I can't really help you.

    the JDM disks require more brake pressure than the ADM drums, so if you just change to Disks with no other changes, your braking will be worse than before, because the car is basically relying on just front brakes. The handbrake will also not adjust itself correctly to take up the slack in the system.

    There are 3 things you can do

    1. remove the internals from the stock proportioning valve. This will give you more pressure to the rear, but probably too much, and will chew up your rears really quickly, and also be quite unstable braking into a corner, especially in the wet. This should only be a temporary measure.

    2. Go buy yourself a JDM booster and P valve. this will solve your problems in an idiotproof way, problem is cost and difficulty in finding one.

    3. Install an adjustable P valve. this gives you the benefit of the JDM P valve, but you can also adjust the balance to suit your driving style on the track. If you want to see some pics of this setup, have a look in my members rides thread
