Do you know what the weight difference is between the big and little one?

Bugger it

Im in

was going to ask the same thing. for the extra 100bucks it sounds worth it.

by the way, what sort of setup will make 1000 FOOT/POUNDS of torque? let alone 1000Nm?

anyone know what sorta torque a T51R will make, seeing as thats about as big as anyones likely to run?

So we have like five? plus a possible. Any price break for five Andrew

i think i have a few more who have jus contacted me via pm, so i will message everyone when i think i have the numbers and see whos man enough :thumbsup:

but there was no chance on price break :D he said 10 or singles for the price i mentioned in the first post + delivery

OK i've just sent off another email to James, saying we're close to ready.

asked him a few more questions to clear some up in this thread.

hopefully will have some replys soon

Cheers

Andrew

is this still on?

would the advantage of the bigger one be when dumping the clutch? especially in gtr's?

i *might* be keen as i need a new tailshaft. so f**k it put me down as an almost definate.

yes it has me thinking that the bigger one would be better suited to brutal launches. 100bucks for extra piece of mind is worth it for me.

out of curiosity has anyone heard of anyone breaking one of these?

Not that i am aware,

search the uk forums they are widely used there more than here.

tho they are also using different brands.

i'm still waiting back on an email from James..

I knew I heard of these guys before and I went to find out where... There is a bloke from the Netherlands (whos a member on alltrac.net and ozcelica.com) who has purchased a prop from these guys and is yet to install it. It is for a 91 CS Group A Celica.

If you can get this for a 91 Celica GT4 let me know

Update: ACPT carbon fiber propshaft! B)

The original prop weighs in at 45+ lbs (20.41+ kg) according to guys on Alltrac.net, this one is 7.26 kg and 1 piece instead of 3 for the stocker. That means less rotating mass and less drivetrain losses, nice!

The carbon shaft has a fiberglass(glass fiber) coating to protect it from whatever it's exposed to underneath a car.

It has a 1,000tq rating, so should be enough for a while.

ACPT is a US company btw, which is in the carbon propshaft scene for over 30 years now. They make these shafts for everything, from 36 tonnes garbagetrucks to dragsters. They also produce the shafts for TRUST and HKS for over 10 years now, so keeping in mind I want to use as much Jap parts as possible, this propshaft is still semi JDM.

"The 2000hp shaft is about 3

lbs heavier than the 1000 hp shaft. We will ship these individually to the

customers if you would like to do it that way or we can ship them all to one

place. Let me know what is easier for you as far as shipping goes"

that should get everyones questions answered!

ok i am going to get this underway right now,

everyone expect pm's

Also let me know which shaft you want (rating) and what car its for.

:laugh:

    • 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
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
