Hey guys,

i'm defiantly hearing you all! its been far too long just for a shipping quote, and something really needs to be done now!

emails sent once again but there isnt a great deal in what i can do. hopefully it will hurry things along!

Andrew

Andrew I`m not having a go at you, I think everyones been more than happy with what you organised but I I think the time for emails are well and truly over. Someone out there has over $14grand US in their pocket and I think its time for a firm phone call to either get them on the way now or our money back. This quote for a freight has taken close to 2 weeks which is total bull, you could get a quote yourself from UPS or Fedex in 24hrs.

ACT obviously arent going to budge so lets either pay or get refund which I doubt they will do. Pay the money and be done with it I say.

Hi Andrew.

This is the final shipping price James has come up with. He has only

come down US$50.00 ( to US200.00) from the original shipping quote of

US$250,.

I find that odd because as you know other Shaft Companies can send them

for around US$125.00??????????????.

I have tried to change this since, but to no avail, that is his final

offer, and as you say this one is way overdue.

So, I will calculate the final figures today for you.

Paul.

this is the email i have received in reply to what i wrote lastnite!

Sweet.

Good to see there is contact.

Lets just pay the $200 and get em in our cars.

Anyone else want my carbon shaft?

I might know someone. Whats the damage?

Geez this looks painful. I remember passing the details on for ACPT for this ages ago , can't believe how it's turned into mud.

The previous dealings with ACPT were always really good, nice bunch of blokes, no doubt there are some behind the scenes reasons.

Yeah i was very happy dealing direct with them Acpt untill someone.... who popped up in this thread and then ran along and told paul what i was doing. things would have been fine.

merli I would have grabbed it, but someone else jumped out first.

happy to see this finalised soon.

Lets get these things delivered! :P

Hey its finally over!!!!

i have the balance owing now

i need $105 aud from everyone. pending on whether the two with 1000hp shafts want to pay the same or save the 5 or so bucks (????) and give me a headache working out what they actually owe :P

(i have included my $22 bank fee as i will be sending this payment to Acpt)

will pm my details again. to everyone.

Thanks for the patience..

(if i missed anyone with the pm let me know) or if someone received one and is not involved let me know....

ive been too busy to follow this purchase, the pm prompted me to check the thread and i find a 16page blowout..

before i go wiring away more money, is this 100% sorted and good to go now guys?

Hey, this is the end! I actually expected it to be more with the further drop in usd. But glad it wasn't. If i get all payments in by tuesday we would hopefully see them by next week.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
