Hey all. I am looking for parts for putting the s50 i have in my e30. Im going to use a 5speed 328 box, and have read about the propshaft needs. The 328 props are non existent, or very expensive, and i stumbled across this bit of information. My car is a pre facelift sport, so 1987 325. This guibo product description suggests that the 87s had a bigger guibo, so technically could use my existing prop straight to the 328 box? Any thoughts?

Thankyou!

How much are the props? It isn't wildly expensive to have a prop modified and rebalanced so thats something to look into.

last time i looked the props were the guts of 300£, i believe some of the jap drift chaps have realised they can run BMW drive train parts for a more reliable drift car, driving up the cost of the e36 prop. i can't help with your gubbo, i ended up selling my e36 stuff and sticking with the e30 box as i didnt want the e36 1.1 final with my diff.
