ISR Performance Driveshaft - VQ Swap S13 ABS - Aluminum

The ISR Performance One-Piece Driveshaft is built specifically for VQ35DE swaps into the 1989-1994 Nissan 240SX (S13) when paired with the CD009 6-speed transmission and the rest of the ISR VQ swap kit. Built using Dana/Spicer solid high-performance u-joints with a one-piece design that eliminates the factory carrier bearing. This is the aluminum version for ABS-equipped differentials.

What It Does

VQ swap builds need a custom-length driveshaft because the combination of the VQ35DE block, CD009 transmission, and ISR swap mounts repositions the transmission output flange. This driveshaft is built to the exact length that combination requires, with the correct flange pattern on the diff side. Like all ISR one-piece shafts, it eliminates the factory two-piece carrier bearing for a more direct driveline and noticeably crisper throttle response.

Aluminum construction reduces rotating mass compared to a steel shaft, which translates to slightly quicker throttle response and lower driveline inertia. Common pick for built VQ swaps and serious track or drift builds where every bit of rotating weight savings matters.

Critical Fitment Requirements

This driveshaft is only guaranteed to fit when using the complete ISR Performance VQ swap kit, including ISR swap mounts and ISR shifter relocation. If you're using a different brand of swap mounts, custom mounts, or a different transmission mount configuration, this driveshaft may not be the correct length and we cannot guarantee fitment.

Differential type matters. Driveshaft length is determined by your differential, not by whether your car originally came with ABS. Verify which differential is currently in the car (ABS vs non-ABS) and order accordingly. The wrong diff-side driveshaft will not bolt up.

Fitment
