I don't know anything about the three joint shafts, But I do know someone who Can shorten a one piece one locally cheap.

Thanks this is the sss so has the independent suspension so has the two piece drive shaft with the bit in the middle

Its interesting that you mention the single piece and 2 piece shafts.
Ive owned 3 160Js one i wrecked and all 3 had single piece shafts. Then i know a guy who as had 2 of them both had 2 piece shafts. with a hanger bearing.
I have a spare drive shaft from a 160j i know for sure it suits a 4speed and a R30 standard pattern 5 speed cos its been behind both.
Should be find behind the dogleg.
