do i take one for the team and ring ACPT....... OK I will. Need your details and what shaft Willo and MR Keets so i can ask them personally where it is and what the tracking number is etc etc

if he was sending them out that day there should be tracking numbers with it..

i'm not getting any replies from any of them at the moment. still waiting for the numbers on the shafts and who's is what.. i have a big mess here to sort out, but hopefully its just the 32 2000 models all mixed up which will make things a bit easier..

Merli, let me know when and where also :P

Ok, officially pissed off to the max after this morning at both 1 am and 6 am. The thing hasnt even been finished when they said it had! James UNFORTUNATELY is sick at the moment, he apparently gets copious amounts of emails and hence why we wonder why no response. My shaft is still getting balanced. So still dont know when it will be sent off, now for the others who have no shaft i cannot tell you anything as i didnt have your details, but i would assume that you would be in the same position as I.

Another note, the woman who i spoke with who takes the orders stated that the shafts were PREMADE, meaning when the order was placed yonks ago they had the base shafts already in stock in shelving. i.e stock 32 33 34 shaft lengths... Which makes me think what a bunch of (unts for delaying everyone for 4 months etc when it was already ready to go.

Anyway, will let you know if anything else comes to light, they really are slack over there and dont pull their digits out often enough.

If my driveshaft hasn't been made I want my money back. I am sick of waiting and the money can be better used elsewhere. If the shaft hasn't been made there should be no problem getting a full refund as it hasn't cost ACPT a cent yet.

Andrew, organise it with StS or ACPT or whoever to make it happen.

Hey Mate,

do you mind waiting a little bit longer till we get actual word from James?? I understand the issue and hopefully it can be sorted out.

tho if you still wish to drop out? any chance we can find another person to jump in place??

after reading what 34tomidnight wrote is crazy. what a f**k around. tho everywhere where i read to order these shafts there is always a 6 week wait??

It has been over 19 weeks since I paid and 16 weeks since the order was placed. If I don't have a driveshaft or at very least a tracking number by next Friday I want my money back. That doesn't mean ACPT telling you it was/will be sent on whatever date because clearly these assurances are empty promises at best or straight out lies at worst.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
