ok guys and gals i need your wonderful help again, on sunday i ordered my 1jzgte frint clip which will be arriving next week on wednesdayish. it has a r154 tranny and i am going to be using the diff from my 89 n/a. i ordered my drive shaft from shaft masters but they want to make sure that the length is the right one for the shaft i oredered. so they asked me to ask all of you if i can get a general length of your drive shafts from the tranny to the diff. please and thanks agian

They have the length...they are confused as you probably told them you are doing a 1j swap.....just tell them you need a mkiii turbo supra driveshaft! They have been making them for a few years now.

Exactly! The 1j and the 7mgte trans are the same and bolt up too the chassis the same...only real diff is the 1j bellhousing...any plain old 7mgte driveshaft will work.

If the front clip comes with the trans then no...bell housings are interchangeable between the 7m and 1j trans...so if you prefer too run your r154 that's currently in your supra then just swap bell housings and you're good!

They asked me the length for mine too,the reason they gave me is that they do had made hundreds of them but they had a couple of them returned lately because they were not the same length they have on their files and they had to pay the shipping charges for both the wrong shaft and the new one. Im in Iraq right now so i canceled the order until i get home and get the measurements myself or find another place that made the shafts but i think shaftmasters is still the best option.
