Recommended Posts

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 ?

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.

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

I got mine running, never tested on the track but so far it has done close to 50 dyno runs while tunning the car, no issues so far that I am aware of, 10.500RPM on most pulls.

Not going to disclose too much on what is in it but I will tell you that there is a mixture between trust and hks with some personal r&d.

:P

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

Is it really killing anyone by having it open? A few of us are still having issues.

Well yes - its in the GB section...

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. (new forum version coming)

Not really... there is no "place" for this :)

Looks like its all sorted though? Been several months since posts etc etc.

Closing on that basis.

If anyone needs more info to add - then simply PM me and i can add it in.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
