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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
