yeah mate running the bigger one(doesnt look quite as pretty , but tough as nails) and still light

cheers russ

How much was yours Russ? PMme if you want..

I wonder what the price difference is between the one Justin got and Russ' one...

i run a one piece carbon tailshaft, and it is almost half the weight and we spin it to 8200 rpm also its rated to 1500 hp.

cheers russ

p.s we also dont have problems anymore with driveline shudder from the centerbearing on hard launches with the carbon one piece shaft.

hrmm. thats exacly what im after. mine shakes and wheel hopps heaps bad with my new nismo tripple. oh and my shaft is worn out. lots of backlash in the joints

dave, if you don't want to splash out on the carbon shaft get one of johnny's one piece chro-mo shafts. still around half the weight of stock, and one piece but like 1/3 the price of the carbon job.

General rule of thumb for removal of rotating mass is for every 10kg of rotating mass you take out has the equivalent effect of taking 100kg out of the car.

that's a huge generalisation. rotating mass has much more inertia if it is far away from the axis of rotation. most of a tailshaft's mass is an inch or two away from the rotational axis, so lightening will have minimal effect.

most of a wheel's rotating mass is several inches from the axis, so lightened wheels would make a bigger difference.

But the tailshaft spins a lot faster than the wheels.

I've got it!!! It came last week. I got pulled over by customs and had to pay $500+ on tax on top of the shaft + shipping :happy:

Anyways, busy busy won't be going on the car for a while I will post again once it's getting installed, with pics of-course :P

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
