Check it
"The RB25's transmission is slightly longer, and the output shaft slightly larger than the 240SX, so a new driveshaft is needed. If the Skyline's driveshaft yoke was included in your clip, slide it into the transmission and shove it all the way forward. Then bolt the stock driveshaft to the differential and let it hang. Measure the distance from the center of the U-joint on the diff to the center of the U-joint on the back of the transmission and--this part is important--subtract 1 inch to allow for driveline movement. Take all the pieces to a driveline shop and tell them "I want this yoke (Skyline) and this rear U-joint (240SX) on a one-piece driveshaft this long (your measurement)." Then give them money (probably a few hundred bucks). If you don't have the Skyline yoke, you can use one from a twin-turbo Z.
If you try to shorten the stock two-piece driveshaft instead of making a new one-piece, it might work. Or the angle of the short front section of the driveshaft may get too steep, leading to a driveshaft failure. It's your choice. If you're using McKinney's mounts, the shop also offers a shortened one-piece driveshaft with larger U-joints that's ready to install."

Once again, what do you know about Primedia? Dave Coleman? The numerous articles he's ****ed people over in? Didn't think so....you've never been there. While I'm building magazine cars for people and doing all of this other ****, all you can do is say "I don't have enough money to start my RB, but it's in my garage"....lot of good that does.
Wanna know something funny? The person that the engine was supplied to, was a paying customer who waited patiently and got his clip BEFORE Dave Coleman decided not to fly to Washington to do the story on a different car I was doing at the time, reguardless of our previous plans to do so....
The whole article turned into a hipocritical piece of trash. Once again DEKAND....Toot your own horn where you actually have some knowledge to toot (which isn't much from your own experience)...and stay out of sh*t you know nothing about....like the customer who received his engine and who I gave a chance to be in a mag....
Funny how you talk to so many people yet 50% of your posts on this forum are "Night this, Night that, Night you're stupid and I'm an immature bastard!"

Funny.....so why haven't you pm'd me yet with your petty little comments? Nah, instead you post on here, which wasn't Hijynx's wishes....and you know what? I can post whatever the hell I want to when you gouge my credibility....I have the right to correct your false accusations and worthless comments.
Don't give me the holier than though bull**** either...you've been told to shut up on more than one forum reguaring your comments about me.
