Hey looks like I may have an issue with my tailshaft, as im getting vibrations from the rear at about 60km/h. Not as noticable outside this.

I have taken it to a knowledgable mech and they narrowed it to realignment the tailshaft. I spoke to some guys who specialise in Tailshafts and they said normally the middle bearings are shagged (r32 gtst).

Has anyone realigned and/or replaced the middle bearing of their tailshaft? Im just after rough costs at this stage. Cheers.

The actual bearing is only around $30 i believe... i was looking into it a while ago on my car..

turns out the gearbox was causing the noise.. not the centre tailshaft bearing

Itd come through his streering wheel if it were that.

A mates VK did this same thingvibrated under load.And because he never had it fixed,after doing so many burnouts it would spit a universal joint once a month.So he used to carry a spare with him.Rofl.

Ive been with him when he has had to replace them on the side of the road.

Only if it's the front wheels that are unbalanced. He said the vibration was from the rear. Steering wheel not connected to rear wheels directly.

Abobob - so ur saying the wheels could be causing the vibrations? No i havent tried that

Took it to a tailshaft specialist workshop today and they said the centre bearing and mounts are fine, and they said its definately one of the joints which need replacing.

They said might as well change it to a 1 piece tailshaft for $400.

Bloody expensive. Anyone have any tailshafts for sale? or know where i can get some?

hmm damn tailshafts.... we had a rear uni break on cats 26'd S13 a fortnight ago on CREATD's new dyno @ 6700 rpm...... fkn scary as i was sitting where the rear seat is usually with the laptop. The tailshaft tore through the floor and missed my ass by about 10-15cms.

Moral: unis are cheap asses are not :rant:

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
