do i take one for the team and ring ACPT....... OK I will. Need your details and what shaft Willo and MR Keets so i can ask them personally where it is and what the tracking number is etc etc

if he was sending them out that day there should be tracking numbers with it..

i'm not getting any replies from any of them at the moment. still waiting for the numbers on the shafts and who's is what.. i have a big mess here to sort out, but hopefully its just the 32 2000 models all mixed up which will make things a bit easier..

Merli, let me know when and where also :P

Ok, officially pissed off to the max after this morning at both 1 am and 6 am. The thing hasnt even been finished when they said it had! James UNFORTUNATELY is sick at the moment, he apparently gets copious amounts of emails and hence why we wonder why no response. My shaft is still getting balanced. So still dont know when it will be sent off, now for the others who have no shaft i cannot tell you anything as i didnt have your details, but i would assume that you would be in the same position as I.

Another note, the woman who i spoke with who takes the orders stated that the shafts were PREMADE, meaning when the order was placed yonks ago they had the base shafts already in stock in shelving. i.e stock 32 33 34 shaft lengths... Which makes me think what a bunch of (unts for delaying everyone for 4 months etc when it was already ready to go.

Anyway, will let you know if anything else comes to light, they really are slack over there and dont pull their digits out often enough.

If my driveshaft hasn't been made I want my money back. I am sick of waiting and the money can be better used elsewhere. If the shaft hasn't been made there should be no problem getting a full refund as it hasn't cost ACPT a cent yet.

Andrew, organise it with StS or ACPT or whoever to make it happen.

Hey Mate,

do you mind waiting a little bit longer till we get actual word from James?? I understand the issue and hopefully it can be sorted out.

tho if you still wish to drop out? any chance we can find another person to jump in place??

after reading what 34tomidnight wrote is crazy. what a f**k around. tho everywhere where i read to order these shafts there is always a 6 week wait??

It has been over 19 weeks since I paid and 16 weeks since the order was placed. If I don't have a driveshaft or at very least a tracking number by next Friday I want my money back. That doesn't mean ACPT telling you it was/will be sent on whatever date because clearly these assurances are empty promises at best or straight out lies at worst.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
