I'm trying to start some intrest in a group buy on Shafts.

i need to get 10 to get the price of $1400Us delivered which is a great price!!!

The Us dollar is looking great for buyers so hopefully we can get the numbers up quick!

I beleive they will be making the shafts for any length so any model will be good to go!

The price is 1400us delivered if we can get 10!

I will keep this running for as long as possible as i want 10 done!

the price for under 10 will be arouind 1500us without delivery which is about 250 each.

List:

I just placed an order for 2 with James at ACPT...This is an excellent Group buy.

Andrew count me in for 1 but I'll only have the funds available in 2 or 3 months. Will that be ok?

Hopefully it will take about that much time to get the numbers up :)

but your on the list :P And pray our dollar gets stronger, and theirs weaker!

how much do they weigh ?

I'll email them today, and get some more information from James

Here's a reply i have just in now.

"These shafts are rated for 1000 ft/lbs of torque. I can also make a high

horsepower application that is $100 more per shaft and will hold up to 2000

ft/lbs of torque."

i replied with a question about weight, and also as i need an odd length shaft questions about that.

.........hmmmmm... Put me down for "partial interest" Angus.. ie if you've got 9 and you need the 10th, I could be in. I am sitting on the fence about this because although I understand that rotational mass makes more of a difference than just removing weight, the tailshaft isn't very big in diameter.. And it doesn't do big revs in 1st, 2nd etc.. so I am a bit perplexed as to if it would make a 'noticable difference'.. having said that I read somewhere else that some think it makes quite a lot of diffence. What am I missing?

Has anyone here actually put one on and done an A-B comparison? I'd be keen to know..

GTR-STI, have you noticed an actual difference?

Giant?

You might be better off reading a thread in the motorsport section about gtr weight.

someone explained it a bit in there. but you could also re ask them questions there too.

put me down for one and do they do one for front drive input for Bnr32

That shaft is already very light, it would be a good idea, but i dont think there would be a great deal of gain in it as its not a full time shaft.

Hey mate,

Thanks for posting the pic... I assume that this is the ACPT one?

From that pic though, it looks like a metal shaft (I think I can see welding at one end?) with a carbon sleeve over it?

Can you confirm, and/or if at all possible upload a better/high-res photo?

Cheers,

Andrew.

:D

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
