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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
