[group Buy] Acpt Carbon Fibre Tailshafts Any Model! $1400us


Recommended Posts

yeah i was dissapointed at the balance weight on the shaft also. In terms of the spacer we made up if it came with the correct parts, I wouldnt have a problem...

I really am over it, I don't want to be spending money going to a shop getting it balanced when it should come from the factory ready to go. Time and money... Don't want to be spending the next 3 months fitting and re-fitting the thing trying to get it right. Shouldnt have to.

I'll contact ACPT today, I expect nothing less than money back. I will happily ship this junk back to the states as long as they are paying.

Hey Andrew, not your fault mate.

ACPT have offered to ship the shaft back to the US at their cost, check the balancing etc, if it is out, refund me.

Truth is, I do want the shaft. I might try somewhere local and just lump the costs...

Mick

ACPT arent all that bad in the end, especially if you deal with Jim Leslie the boss...

Hope others are ok. Still waiting for ours to arrive - take 2...

Andrew its not your fault what has happened.

Anyone know what it would cost approx to balance the shaft in Oz...just want a ballpark figure

Inline with GB rules about having a start & end date - this is now closed.

SAU is clamping down on these GB's that never occur, never end, and so on.

PM me if you have a problem. However, before you PM me think about this.

A group buy, is a group of people buying the product together to lower the price.

Buying single units here and there is not what constitutes a GROUP BUY

Thanks

opened again guys! keep the discussion going here.

we'll wait till everyone has their shafts going untill closure of this. (or ones like me who dont think they will see the light anytime soon will keep intouch)

Cheers

I think my shaft is one of those unbalanced shafts! :blush:

I have a vibration in every gear.... above 70km/h you can really feel it

I will be pulling it back out and fitting the stock shaft. Not impressed!

Where u at might be able 2 do yours with mine?

Yeah in the same boat & yeah not F%$#*&^% happy.(Not with U Angus)

For a reputible company they have issues in the balancing dept.(or they thought stitch those Ausies up)

Tested mine & have the same problem vib starts at 90klm/h & by 120klm/h decided enough was enough this needs a rebalance FFS.

Have emailed James to let him know of my problem,but with them so far away wtf can he really do.Maybe cost me $60 for a balance but in the end be satisfied & no vibration.Be more than $60 to send it back to the GREAT USA to get balanced when i can do it here for F^$# all.

And again not having a shot a u Angus ,in no way is this your fault.

Mate im at Bankstown. Thats not a bad idea. I really want to have this shaft but it need to be fixed up. Ill be keen to meet up and send them both in to get balanced... where ever that is.

Sorry to hear about all this Andrew, what a clusterfcuk!

I was considering buying one of these shortly as well but will be holding off on that for the time being :(

Seeing that ACPT make the shafts for mines.... I wonder if they have any issues like this? Or was it just that they thought we are a pack of Aussies over the other side of the world and wont give a stuff?

On the upside i did notice a bit of response gained :banana:

Clearly ACPT farked up our order then rushed a heap through to get us to shut up. They're not expecting any of us will be willing to send it back to have it balanced after taking so long to get them, so they get what they want; our money and never hearing from us again. It's not like they expect repeat customers so who cares what a few Aussies think.

Dam shame this group buy went sour.

On the bright side considering SAU is one of the largest skyline forums in the world I seriously doubt that ACPT will ever sell another tail shaft to a Skyline owner in Australia again. Thats a whole market they have just succeeded in losing themselves.

If an aussie company pulled that crap and didnt fix it they'd find a tail shaft thrown through the front windows of their show room or the windscreen of their demo car. Companies that pull this kind of crap deserve to go broke.

sorry to hear this happen to you guys. I was planning on putting my name down for this but seeing this happen makes me think thank fcuk i didnt. if it helps maybe everyone who has been placed with a dodgy tailshaft should get together and mail the company on their complaints. power in numbers people even if only a small group. bad publicity isnt any good to any business. word easily gets out over the net.

    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu? 
    • Yeah thats the plan now. 🤞
