does it matter if the driveshaft has abs while my car doesnt? ABS has nothing to do with the driveshaft right?

 

No, ABS has nothing to do with the drive shaft. ABS only relates to the brakes.

 

thats not entirely true, abs does have to do with the driveshaft, im putting together a 5 spd swap for my s14 with ABS and through my research, i've found that the abs and non-abs driveshafts are about an inch different in size so if you have an ABS car u need an ABS driveshaft and vice-versa, and used s14 abs driveshafts are impossible to find so it looks like i'll be going with a one-piece aluminum...hope this helps...

 

why would the driveshaft matter in relation to the brakes? there`s the same amount of distance tween the trans and th diff with or without it, right? and the ABS wouldn`t have any components on the diff or axles, iWould assume.

 

didnt sound right to me either, but there is a difference in the two driveshafts of about an inch and the people that i've talked to about it before have done a bunch of 5 speed swaps so i trust 'em...

 

ok, I will confirm that their is a difference between the shafts, but which shaft do i have? I have a 92 240sx-se with a 95 240sx motor swap, and now i am doing the sr20det black top swap but my drive shaft too long. I bought the car used with the swap"95 ka" already in. so i am at a loss on if i need a abs shaft or a non-abs? help..........
