Theres a bit of info on these in the Drivetrain section. Most of the info is relevant to Carbon Tailshafts though. The issues people were having with the carbon shafts was they were not balanced properly.

The Cromoly Group Buy tailshafts are balanced and John has been doing them for years in 300zx's. They are the same cromoly tubes as found in high HP door slammers.

I've asked the question about the RB25 box in a 32GTST, they can do if you provide measurements and extra $50 for custom.

Cheers,

i would be keen but i want to hear more peoples real world experiences with these over the stock 1 not just "They are the same cromoly tubes as found in high HP door slammers". have people realy noticed a difference with these

good question

i have heard that the uas 300zx ran almost 2 tenths faster down the 1/4 mile how true this is....is up to them to tell us which would be nice.

Edited by WARLORD

I'll ask John.P about that one mate.

as for real world exerience I can't comment.. I don't have one yet.

I'm buying one of these because of the weight reduction, strength of the shaft, and my middle bearing is stuffed. i'd rather buy a one piece as it is one less bearing to service.

the exchange policy will be confirmed shortly, i'll see if I can come up with something for the guys who use their cars as daily drivers.

cheers,

johno

To Quote John P

"Yes and consistent with times and a good test. Non turbo and correct but

may have been due to less vibration and power loss as uni's were bad."

I think thats a yes lol..

Cheers

Johno

is that the only way this can hapen as my car is my daily driver and i live 3 hours away

sounds like we need a package deal drive in drive out with the new tail shaft .......a free service would be nice ......maybe if we get some more people.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
