THIS IS THE LATEST THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM PAUL AT STS.

Funny how James doesnt reply to me even though i receive an answer from Paul...

Hi James.

The guys down here are just not impressed James, they really are not.

Unfortunately ACPT and StS have had their reputations tarnished over this one.

StS Australia in particular has been hurt as there will be no further repeat business from this group on any product I would suspect.

Please expedite the successful conclusion of this deal.

Thanks,

Paul.

Subject: RE: RE Marc PALMER Drive Shaft - Skyline GB for Australia

Sorry for the late response Paul, i have been dealing with Mono and just finally got back to work this week. I am trying to find out what happend to the ones that were not delieverd yet. I have already started to make new shafts for the ones that did not recieve anything yet. I am pushing these through the shop as fast as i can an i am hoping to have these done and shipped out next week. Marc Palmer driveshaft will be shipped tomorrow as it was sitting down at the balance shop and nobody contacted us to pick it up. We are going down there today to pick it up today and i will have this one shipped out tomorrow.

ACPT Inc.

this just now from Paul

Hi Marc.

This is very frustrating for us all down here. I have had slow service from ACPT before but, NEVER anywhere as bad as this.

The AUD dropping was bad enough, no one had any control over that, but there is absolutely no excuse for this tardiness in service.

All I can to is, in a very embarrassed way, continue to apologise, and keep persisting on your behalf and all the others in this deal.

The problem is, that ACPT make the best CF shafts in the world, they have the best prices, and unfortunately they know it.

I have tried doing business with the other two CF manufacturers, but believe it or not there service is consistently worse, and their prices are much dearer and they do not have the expertise to do custom jobs that many of my customers want.

Fortunately the Company I use for the 1pc Aluminium Shafts, (Powertrain Industries) have terrific products, terrific service and terrific prices.

Regards,

Paul.

Funny how a tailshaft for a group buy which they get hounded for by ME via telephone conversations still got forgotten and left at the balancing shop, never tried to ring up and ask "hi mate where is that shaft we sent you to get balanced, owner wants it!"even when i whinged and whinged about it not being delivered. Lying dogs!

F#@k I feel for you blokes..pretty slack service and I reckon if the rest of us hadnt got our shafts we be screaming we got shafted!! (sorry couldnt resist that one)..

hope it all works out sweet...

on the flip side I should have mine in next week so be interesting to see the difference if any

Good to see that you guys shafts arent that far away..well maybe..

Looks like mine wont go in this week as too bloody busy, just got enough spare time to pick up me new N1 block this arvo and drop it off at HKS for machining. Hopefully shaft goes in next week.

Hows that shaft going?? you guys got it fitted yet and was it all ok??

in the beginning if there was one they'd f**k up i'd have thought it was yours..

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
