Default driveshaft woes

what is everyone using for a driveshaft on a swapped gs300??? i'm using a non-vvti GTE motor out of an aristo, and the tranny from the aristo as well. but WTF, stock driveshaft wont work as the front portion of the shaft wont mate up to the aristo tranny. i got a supra tt driveshaft thinking that would work, but no luck, totally different.

my last question is, does the input flange on the front portion of the driveshaft come off, as in is it pressed on or welded on??? i would think it is all welded together, but it looks like it could be a seperate piece. if i can pull it off, i can just throw on the one from the supra that is slightly bigger and i'll be golden. or i may have to go to a driveshaft shop and have them cut the two apart and reweld them again. any help at this point is appreciated.

I sent you a pm with the info. We almost went he same route with the welding but the guys at Grip wanted to try one last idea out before and it worked by using the Yoke off a 1st gen gs300 which we just bought for like 80 bucks or so at any Lexus dealer and it was the missing piece we needed to get it going without having to weld. I can get you the part number tonight if you want when I get back home. The other question I'll ask the guys at grip cuz I'm not sure what they did.
