Everyone,
I have swapped an Fs5r30a into the 88 vg. The driveshaft off the same model pathfinder is long enough, but expecting a larger input flange. Can a j30 or q45 input flang fit for the stock rear diff ?

you already swapped or you WANT to swap it?

you'll need a custom driveshaft made. you'll need to beat the shit out of your trans tunnel and the shifter might not be in the right spot.

you'll need the Fs5r30a tranny side driveshaft flange.  but the driveshaft shop can use your stock diff side flange.

I doubt those flanges will work because it's for a shortnosed R200. Try the M30 or Z31 companion flange. The Z31s have quite a few different flanges. The S12 turbo flange is different than the VG one also I believe.
