[group Buy] Acpt Carbon Fibre Tailshafts Any Model! $1400us


Recommended Posts

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.

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

Just a couple of day late....I will e-mail James to see if these 2 can be added....but doubt it.

Oh nice, well i think it will take a few months to get the numbers up.

is where the discussion for these spawned! we wernt too sure if 10 would be able to happen.

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.

Interested.

I'll be in if this gets off the ground by the time I'm ready for one. 10 is an abitious target though!!

Stuff it! I'll take one at US$1400.00. Does that include delivery to the West?

Hey mate, i beleive the delivery is to anywhere, as i beleive they are bieng sent seperate.

Sweeet, we're almost half way there! tho there are a few who are not so sure yet..

.........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.

  • 2 weeks later...
Hopefully the attached picture will entise a few extras for you.

They are normally $1700US....this is a great group buy.

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, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
