No problems, except for a bit of drive line noise if you are in say 2nd or 4th gear taking off at low revs etc. The chromemolly tube transmitts some of the noise from the gearbox. Gbox is second hand anyway.

In rwd it does light up wheels alot faster. Little difference in acceleration probably due to lighter flywheel and tripple plate assy.

Be warned, your two piece gets chopped up for it's ends so you can't swap back unless you but another two piece like I did, just in case....

Well guys, just had a new custom 2-piece fitted and guess what - no more high speed vibration problems. Mine was put down to an alignment issue between the gearbox and diff - so if your fitting an RB25 box to an R32 GTST be careful when deciding to go the one-piece option.

Well i rang a place today to arrange my new tailshaft to suit the R25 bos on my R32...and was told not to bother with a 1 piese unit :laugh:

I said its what i want though as im told they are lighter and better, and, well just better :)

His reply was they woudl be too long for a 1 pce, and a 2 pce woudl be far superior. Considering this guy does race cars, inclusing a friends Gibson Grp A car recently...im taking whatever advice he gives me :rofl:

So 2 pce fo rme, but im curious to hear that ppl running 1 pce find it more responsive.

I found absolutely no difference in response with the one-piece (metal) over a 2-piece (metal).

I think you received some good advice from this dude :(

if there was any advantages id say that there is no centre bearings (less maintenance) and its damn lighter. I can pickup my 1 piece with 1 hand.

I put mine in as i fitted the rb25 box, and havent had any problems. It was probably easier to make a single shaft with the ends i needed than mod a 2 piece.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
