JDM B18C Drive Shafts versus USDM B18C5

Is there any difference between the drive shafts of the JDM B18C and the USDM B18C5? I received my engine swap and the drive shafts that were included with the engine I bought don't fit the engine. They were separate when I bought the engine. Will any B18C series drive shaft work?

no JDm B18c or Type R motor has a 36mm spline compared to the 32mm on pretty much all other OEM motors

^^ Thanks!

So where will I be able to find JDM drive shafts? Any place online? What should I do? Is there an easy solution?

Japan

contact who ever you got the motor from they sgould be able to help you. If not then just call around to some JDM motor importers and ask them. You were having trouble with the hub side correct? The side that attches to the brakes?

No, what happened is the guy I bought the motor from had the shafts disconnected and seperate. I contacted him (but am stil waiting for a reply) incase there was a mix up and he just sold me the wrong ones. If I can't get them from him is there any place online that sells them? Cause it would seem to me that with all of these JDM engines floating around someone would be bound to need a new set of drive shafts by now.

search works pretty well...

the only difference would be on the hub side

I tried searching for these answers, but I was having difficulty with the phrasing of the search criteria. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!!
