Anyone Had A Full Custom 2-piece Tailshaft Made?

[bubba]

VEEM just quoted me some crazy price.. fair enough it's practically a brand new tailshaft made from 3.25" tube with heavy duty uni's, new centre bearing and a new splined yoke.

Anyone had something like this built?

Whats the application. Might help us get an idea of what your getting or need.

Carbonfibre tailshaft single piece is $2k to your door from the guys who make the mines ones.

Or a chrome molly one (stong) from UAS is less than $600.

Both save alot of weight over stock. And eliminate the centre bearing.

had one done from VEEM, never again.

I dont like the idea of a 1 piece. Obviously nissan didnt either

they have pros and cons of design.

The two bit ones sap power at the bearing, are heavy and the centrebearings are a source of failure under . They are smooth though.

A single chromemolly is lighter and better for performance but, would transfer more vibrations.

A single carbon fibre shaft is lighter again and transfers less vibration than all the above. It is superior in every regard except cost.

Cheap/reliable/fast : pick two applies.

Mines/ Nismo and trust like 1 peice carbon tailshafts not 2 peice stock ones.

But in all seriousness is the car your enquiring about really in need of a expensive shaft like that?

BTW i use verriers in bayswater and they have been the cheapest and best.

All mine are for 25 box swaps where the yoke need to be changed. But i still use a 2 piece.

Twincam 3L w/ GT35R.. monster torque.

I took a 32 & 33 tailshaft to veem, they said the uni's are on their last legs and the centre bearing has play (the 32 shaft), $900 to build a new one with heavy duty uni's etc.

Told them to get stuffed, Final Drive is building me the same thing for about $650.

i had final drive build mine for the SR powered R34. They supplied all the parts bar the rear section of the shaft (with out centre bearing) and cost was less $500 from memory. Fitted perfect and never a hint of vibration. Second shaft i have had them make both been sweet.

Yeah I've heard some good stuff about them lately and he's building me a pretty damn strong tailshaft
