6 bolt diff input on e30

What is the reasoning for wanting to go a 1 piece drive shaft?
1 piece shaft is going to be custom made so I would be tempted to see what industrial/aftermarket options are available for a slip joint to be built into a 1 piece tail shaft (with fixed ends to bolt up to e30 transmission and diff). google suggests that a slip joint in a 1 piece drift shaft is a thing.

I am pretty sure that you can install the large 6 bolt input on an e30 188 case diff. i.e. I think that a 6 bolt input for an e36 M3/e46 M3 CV input exists for the 188 diff. But that input is longer and larger in diameter than a normal 4 bolt input. Does this interfere with the subframe of the e30 or have any other unforeseen consequences I am not thinking of.

6 bolt diff input on e30
Has everyone ever put a 6 bolt e36 diff input flange onto an e30 diff? and then run an e36 or similar CV driveshaft back section?
Curious if this would work with a single piece driveshaft to help out since the length adjustment in the stock e30 shaft would be lost. The CV joint can take up a little slack for tolerance issues that a ujoint cant.Tags: None
