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.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
