yeah sweet, i think alot will go for that 100 upgrade :) seems worth it in the end as there is only a few pounds weight difference

needs 2 more confirmations :) hopefully these people will get back to me soon.

And no worries Michael hope to catch up with you soon! hopefully i'll have my car on track in August.

there advertising the same tailshaft for 1660au delivered for skylines, and 1200 for s13/14/15... pretty cheap i thought, and for the extra $160, i'd feel safer buying it from someone here then overseas, least then you can throw it at him if something goes wrong.. and you don't have to buy 10 of em.

The 1000 ft/lbs shaft what sort of horsepower will it hold on to because iam looking for something that can hold on to a 350-400 awkw gtr that does the odd 8000rpm launch will this do that or is it recommanded to go to 2000ft/lbs model

Am in the same split decision myself.

they still order them from america. so its pretty much the same deal going on. same wait, more price..

what i am offering is still cheeper.. and 2000ft pounds option. for only 1500us delivered :)

i'd say the 100us extra is worth it. to get the higher rated shaft. but probably not needed.. i keep seeing, 1000hp and 2000hp rated.. and the same 1000ft/pounds and 2000ft/pounds measurments used..

no worries, thought it might be worth asking what price he could do on ten shafts.. seeing as i think someone said there 1700us +del normally, he must be getting a good deal too, but i guess he'd have to be if he's the dealer.. anyway

i couldn't help myself, seeing as no one else feels like saving more money here, i asked that bloke if he could beat your price for 10 shafts, here's the reply i got: "...........Hi Thanks for the heads up. I don't know where he would be getting the shafts from, probably just fishing, because I am the Aust., and NZ distributopr for ACPT and they know nothing of that deal. BUT, having said that, I can certainly beat that price for an order of 10. Spread the word Paul." i suggest you ask him for a price if you want to save further dollars.

Paul the Australian distributor Has just contacted me about this now..

And he has since contacted James @ Acpt in the states. to find out what i was doing.

we're now looking at $1400 Australian Delivered for the 2000hp rated shaft, and can Now do this on less than 10 order.

i'm still awaiting an email from him now to confirm this.

so the price is now even lower than before and dealing with the Australian Distributor instead of the James In the Us..

i will get back to everyone about this when i know more.

thanks for getting him onto me sic200

    • I think last I checked it was 35cm from fender to wheel center. I heard u can go up to 45-48cm before handling his impacted. But I need to check again. I know I was about 1.2 cm off being close to max recommended. 
    • You'd need to weld on an external gate to achieve that number though. I can't remember seeing anyone make 500hp at the wheels with the stock manifold / internally gated turbo.
    • Suspension Component Question Looking for some feedback based on people's experiences! I know this has been loosely covered in other threads but I can't find any direct answers/experience. I'm up for some bush/rod replacements and was interested in a hybrid approach between hardened rubber and pillowball kit. Why not choose one or the other? Well, this is for my daily driver, which I track once or twice a year. I like a stiff car and a sporty feel but I don't want to compromise the chassis too much with 100% pillowball gadgetry.  I know from experience and a tonne of reading that not all components affect ride quality in the same way - eg. in my case, coilover top mounts should be hardened rubber as pillowball transfers way too many undesirable qualities and doesn't have much more upside than a good hardened rubber. But, pillowball tension rods translate to much better turn-in/steering response and make the car significantly sharper, without negatively impacting ride quality in a significant way.  I'm not TOO bothered by NVH (to a degree). So, with context out of the way, does anyone have any experience with a hybrid approach as mentioned above? I'm going to replace all components over time so am seeking guidance on: - front tension rods - upper camber arms - rear lower control arm - rear traction rod - rear upper camber arm - rear toe adjuster rod  Secondly, is there any reason why this is a bad idea? Or any other info/wisdom that I might not be considering. Cheers 🫶
    • That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it. 
    • The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.
