Hey Nathan, your better off trying to talk to James and not Paul.

i got all your messages forwarded to me and your reply etc if you truly want to pull out now than James is the one to speak to but i'm not too sure how the return of money will go

As stated in my email, StS is the distributor and ACPT is the supplier. The group buy was organised through StS so they are therefore responsible for issues with their supplier. In other words, don't offer parts for sale that you can't get from your supplier. I have no issue with StS and this is obviously not "normal" practice for ACPT, it is just unfortunate for Paul that he is caught in the middle. And any communication with James is clearly having no effect.

Either way the matter has been referred to the Department of Fair Trading so they can decide what action to take if any.

I'll suggest it to him today. but i know what your getting at, it shouldnt be our problem to be chasing these things up.

I have already sent out Marc Palmer shaft and Nathan Wilson and keith

Sinclair are the only 2 that did not receive there drivesahfts correct? I

have no more shafts here and everything was shipped out. I have started to

remake these shafts for the 2 people you have on here and I am pushing them

to get out ASAP. If you need anything from me, feel free contact me.

did he give you a tracking number Keith?

Nope...claims that Fedex have lost the shafts. You just don't lose boxes that big like that. I cant believe that Fedex would stay in business very long losing packages. Having said that I bought some Snowboard gear through priceusa a couple of weeks ago and the proprietor told me that the ups tracking number was relatively pointless as they enter it wrong...it has a bar code so how does that happen? The snowboard gear has turned up on time though...so go figure. :D

Same explanation I got from James today and he quoted my home address not the workshop address. There is more to this than meets the eye friends :)

When/if it gets here that will work out well as the centre bearing feels likes its going so it will save me replacing it

So of the lucky guys who have reviced their shafts... anyone fitted one up yet?

Anyone care to confirm what parts received? It appears we might have to make up a 5mm spacer...

Any other R32 guys have one in the car? Care to confirm how it went and what parts you have? (Just checking I arent missing something)

Michael

ok thanks

thats exactly what Mark is doing for me, making up a new spacer. :)

I wasnt sure If I was missing something out of my kit or if they ship them like this. You'd expect them to trial their product properly...

There is no way it should be designed to just shit on that lip and not go all the way home!

cheers

It's already done and on your car. I had a look at it today. :D

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
