Gracias...

I'd better get off my ass and try to fit this thing.

If I need to get a custom spacer made up, I'll be having words.

OS30GK: Can you please confirm that the OUTSIDE DIAMETER of the 2000hp shaft should be 9.6cm?

Can anyone else provide the correct LENGTH of the shaft, from mounting point to mounting point?

Took mine out to HKS to get an independant professional measurement and mine was 9.5 cms and thats a 2000/lbs shaft. There were couple of spots just over 9.5 and other spots just under. We took 10 measurements equal distance apart up and down the shaft.

So where to go from here???

Just measured my R32 GTR 2000 lb/ft shaft and diameter is 9.7cm.

I still have vibrations after changing to another set of wheels, so will look at re-fitting stock shaft to see if that is the cause....

I emailed them yesterday and got this info from them.....

I have attached our assembly drawing so that you can see the length of your R33 driveshaft. With both adapters on, the driveshaft should measure out to be 44.72" from end to end. Also, 9.5cm is equaled to 3.75" which is exactly where the tube should be. I understand your concern and If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me anytime.

nice of them to send you the drawing. it might be worthwhile getting the 32 GTR one as well for merli etc so they can confirm it's all sweet before install. kind of a customer implemented QA.

yeah i second that.

crazyeeeeeeee!

mick let me know how yours is going... sounds like a balancing problem?

Edited by Angus Smart

yep it does sound like a balancing problem. Though I would have expected they have a QA process of sorts...

I have just removed tonight, can't be arsed fitting stock one, will do tomorrow and let know the results. Will be both happy and very angry if my problems go away with removal of the shaft...

:)

Anyway chaps, heres some pics for anyone interested...

PS anyone have the assembly drawing with specs for 2000lb/ft R32 GTR shaft?

Hey guys

Okay the source of my very severe vibration in the car when travelling anything over 90-100kph (which is a major problem when the car does over 200kph on every lap of the circuit and does the drags at 200kph) is............

THE ACPT CARBON FIBRE DRIVESHAFT !

whooohooo. I'm so happy! NOT.

FFS.

First I pay a reputable garage to fit the shaft.

Then I remove it, and whooshka, problem goes away.

But just to be certain, I re-fit the CF shaft to ensure correct fitting 200% ! - Problem come back identical.

Remove again, and problem gone.

What a peice of Junk.

Very unhappy customer that wan't his money back and will throw this rubbish in the bin...

(On a side note, I can defo feel a little less responsiveness through the gears with it removed! lol)

Cheers chaps.

Mick

Hey mick,

they guys number is up above, give them a hola,

also on another note. did you get a spacer made up?? this could require balancing also??

God damn. What a friggen nightmare :D

How many of us guys have driven their cars with the shafts in? I havent driven mine yet... Still off the road!

ive driven several hundred klm's on mine no dramas yet no vibrations have done a few 180kph plus on track runs , it had a spacer made up this was the 1000ft/lbs model for a 34 GTR all good so far have not done a 7/8000rpm launch yet though thats the last test!!!

hi again all,

i have had experience in building & balancing driveshafts from modified trucks to cars & when i received mine was dissapointed with the balance weight & the way that had been attached(photo to come) it was for that reason that i havent yet installed the shaft until i have personally balanced it at my former work.I will be removing there weight after intial balance & weld on some purpose made weights not a peice of sheet cut out & rounded to suite the shaft.

Also with a steel shaft if u go about the preparation thourougly u rarely need to use weights,& if any not of the size i have on my shaft.

OK thats my rant ,going to get pic of balance weight.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
