These parts are custom made to order, these parts are not in stock, and ship 4-6 weeks.

similar story to what i was told in the beginning, 4-6 weeks..

Received this today... Jimmy is JAMES by the way...

I was just thinking about you, I still have the note on my monitor. It has not shipped yet, however I will ask Jimmy (he is back) When he gets intoday what is going on with it. He should be in by 9:00 am

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..

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
