Thread: Altima axles

So now the other question is using the left side inner joint with a B13 axle and using the right side half shaft with a B13 axle. If it fits then that may be the other thing to try.

You lost me there. What I think you are saying is to somehow use the inner joint from the spec with the shaft and outer from the b13. This won't work either because the older axles used a tripod joint, and some used a ball-bearing cage-joint. The cage assembly that fits the inner joint for the passenger side axle of the spec V is too large to fit on the B13 shaft. This is where you could possibly have something welded to fit.
But the sizes are all different unfortunately. Try a CV shaft from an RS5 transmission, the non spec V 5 speed with the VLSD. I'm thinking it could be the "red" axle that Ashton found.

@Coheed Actually, what i was thinking of is using the inner cups( part that actually fits into the transmission) with B13 Shafts and outter Joints( C.V Joint). But that will all depend on if the inners are using a tripod joint or the ball-bearing caged unit, Spline count and size of shaft would also play a role in this.

Have no access to the spec v so everything here would have to be ordered. I can however get complete axles for the nissan bluebird( nissan altima) without the RS5F50V so that would be another option to consider

The inner cages are too large to fit the smaller B13 and B14 shaft. By about 1/4".

Somewhere Nissan used smaller cages to be used on the smaller SER shafts.

Something to look into and do some more research. Presently I'm using bluebird shafts on my car with the 32A box. And they fit perfectly so I'll keep an eye out for other shafts and joints that can be used.

Thing about it is, the box and axles will be shipped out of the US so I'm trying to have everything covered as early as possible.
