My local Nissan dealer told me that Nissan/Datsun half-shaft u-joint model number 37126-VB925 is no longer available. Most of the posts that I have read recommended Nissan/Datsun u-joints over all other brands. Now that thye are unavailable what is the next best brand and model number for the half-shafts that I should purchase for my 1971 Datsun 240Z?

I ordered mine through MSA. I haven't received them yet so i don't know how good they are.

Go with Neapco or Spicer brands.

I just picked up my special order drive shaft u-joints from Nissan this morning for my 1971 240Z. Nissan Part #37125-49W25. Attached are pictures of the part. The manufacturer is KS-VGI and there is an "N" engraved on the spider body. A web search of KS-VGI came up empty. I would like to purchase the half-shaft u-joints (Nissan Part #37126-VB925) that Nissan no longer has from someone. Does anybody know who the manufacturer is, what the "N" stands for and where I might be able to purchase them?

I just got off the phone with Nissan Customer Service- Parts Division. They confirmed that both the driveshaft and halfshaft u-joints are still for sale for my 1971 240Z despite what my local Nissan dealer said. The part numbers are:

Driveshaft: 37125-49W25

Halfshaft: 37126-VB925
