Downforce Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 35 pages..... and I'm lazy to read.. Can someone post a summary of events? Do the ACPT tailshafts provide a worthwhile performance gain or not? Any alternatives been discussed? or is it better to stick with the factory ?

GTRNUR Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I believe results were posted one person that track races their car, the result was no improvement. Money would have been better spent on a lighter clutch/flywheel to improve response.

I wouldnt buy acpt again.. go with someone else, these guys have been nothing but headache. if my shaft causes problems its going back to acpt. now i wasnt after performance made from the shaft, just wanted more weight taken out of the car.

Piggaz Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 How long until you put your shaft in Andrew? Be interesting to see if you have the same issue as a few of us have had. Maybe we can get a discount for the shipping back to America Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/208678-group-buy-acpt-carbon-fibre-tailshafts-any-model-1400us/page/36/#findComment-4699033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtr13 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well mine finally passed its big test 7k rpm launch down the drag strip ran about half a dozen times this was the 1000ft/lbs model in a 34GTR this was in a 260awkw GTR not big power or anything but did handle it with no dramas no vibration all good . Could not really do a comparison as i changed a few things since the last drag outing changed the stock suspension to HKS hipermax coilovers and fitted a titanium exhaust after removing a dodgey custom stainless job. I ran a 12.3 @115mph with the carbon shaft and i ran a 12.2 @ 116.5 mph two years ago without it !!! but i think my tyres had worn out their use by date as i haven't used them in over two years could not get any traction best 60ft was a 1.95 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/208678-group-buy-acpt-carbon-fibre-tailshafts-any-model-1400us/page/36/#findComment-4745125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a section for active group buys... Fair enough you have issues - but how long does this thread need to exist to document what everyone already knows? Im trying to clean up for sale/GB sections etc, main reason for it all.
