I am in the process of converting my 97’ abs 240sx to 5 speed and I’m in need of an s14 abs driveshaft. I have browsed all the forums for months and still no luck.
S14 Drive shaft specs as per FSM:
A/T 1st section = 421.0mm (16.57")
M/T 1st section = 441.0mm (17.37")
ABS Rear Section = 636.0mm (25.04")
non-ABS Rear Section = 650.0mm (25.59")
I did some research on FA. It seems I might be able to use the 2nd section(connects to tranny) of a non abs s14 driveshaft and bolt that to my 1st section of my auto abs driveshaft.

Can anyone clarify this? I really want to get this over with and drive manual.

I dont really have an answer to your question but I would save yourself the hassle and call Driveshaftshop up and order their one-piece aluminum driveshaft. Half the weight of the stock unit! Its very hard to find manual S14 parts, so save yourself all the trouble and buy one of these, I did. Price isnt that bad either.
