Do you know what the weight difference is between the big and little one?

Bugger it

Im in

was going to ask the same thing. for the extra 100bucks it sounds worth it.

by the way, what sort of setup will make 1000 FOOT/POUNDS of torque? let alone 1000Nm?

anyone know what sorta torque a T51R will make, seeing as thats about as big as anyones likely to run?

is this still on?

would the advantage of the bigger one be when dumping the clutch? especially in gtr's?

i *might* be keen as i need a new tailshaft. so f**k it put me down as an almost definate.

yes it has me thinking that the bigger one would be better suited to brutal launches. 100bucks for extra piece of mind is worth it for me.

out of curiosity has anyone heard of anyone breaking one of these?

I knew I heard of these guys before and I went to find out where... There is a bloke from the Netherlands (whos a member on alltrac.net and ozcelica.com) who has purchased a prop from these guys and is yet to install it. It is for a 91 CS Group A Celica.

If you can get this for a 91 Celica GT4 let me know

Update: ACPT carbon fiber propshaft! B)

The original prop weighs in at 45+ lbs (20.41+ kg) according to guys on Alltrac.net, this one is 7.26 kg and 1 piece instead of 3 for the stocker. That means less rotating mass and less drivetrain losses, nice!

The carbon shaft has a fiberglass(glass fiber) coating to protect it from whatever it's exposed to underneath a car.

It has a 1,000tq rating, so should be enough for a while.

ACPT is a US company btw, which is in the carbon propshaft scene for over 30 years now. They make these shafts for everything, from 36 tonnes garbagetrucks to dragsters. They also produce the shafts for TRUST and HKS for over 10 years now, so keeping in mind I want to use as much Jap parts as possible, this propshaft is still semi JDM.

"The 2000hp shaft is about 3

lbs heavier than the 1000 hp shaft. We will ship these individually to the

customers if you would like to do it that way or we can ship them all to one

place. Let me know what is easier for you as far as shipping goes"

that should get everyones questions answered!

ok i am going to get this underway right now,

everyone expect pm's

Also let me know which shaft you want (rating) and what car its for.

:laugh:

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
