Custom Made Tailshafts

Hi guys,

i just thought id show you a couple of pics of the things i do for a living.

I custom built this tailshaft, after 6 different styles of tailshafts this so far has been the winner for smoothness.

I build alot of 1 piece tailshafts for drift cars and drags cars etc, and in the S13/14/15, R32/33/34, cefiro and 300zx's they definitely do the trick. The only feedback i have had with them is sometimes they give a slight vibration above 160km/h. most of the time new engine mounts, gearbox mount and cradle mounts solve this problem, but for people who install pineapple rings and nolathane suspension bushes, this little vib up high still exists.

i have tried using rubber couplings like in late model commodores, but this still has that problem, so this is the best combo i have come up with.

basically, i need to modify your pinion flange to suit a BA on rear CV joint. or for higher hp applications, i source a 300ZX turbo or GTR skyline rear pinion flange, and use that slightly beefier CV joint.

I then retain the standard centre bearing assembly but upgrade the centre uni joint. for the front i use a billet 24 spline slip for R32 or a billet 30 spline slip for R33/34. All the autos run a billet 26 spline slip.

the uni i put in them have been tested to 540rwhp with no dramas.

for the R32 24 spline manual gearbox, i can only rate the tailshaft at 320rwhp, past that piont the slip yoke starts to twist, due to not being psychically big enough.

the R33 30 spline manual is rated to 400rwhp, past this piont, i reccommend a 1 piece, which can cop around 500-550rwhp.

well heres the pics of the tail shaft.

so there it all is. If anyone wants me to whip something like this up for them, PM me here or call my work on 3800 1305 and ask for me

cheers

Just reviving an old thread....whats the cost on something like this on an r32? I had my unis replaced and it cost $500 and has only lasted 8 months and have smashed the front uni but they look heaps smaller then the ones on this.
