Hey guys,

I have just discovered that my tail shaft unis in my r33 gtst are kaput (vibration, etc), diff yoke end in paticuler,

i have spoke with nissin and they want $1400 for a new tail shaft , althought it is complete.

hardy spicer want some thing like $600 to get them done, and then i stumbled apone the UAS

one pice tail shaft, big unis, new , super strong (rated to 1500hp) and is only $570.

im making 270rwkw so i dont want to end up buggering up another set of unis in the future.

so does any one have the uas tail shaft or are able to shed some light on the best direction,

my main concern with the one piece is it hitting my muffler (trust PE II), althought looking at

it on the hoist now, the shaft is straight :P so i think it will be fine, just need confirmation lol.

Thank in advance guys

Lee

The UAS single piece ones are an excellent way to go. Simple exhcange process, fit straight in, well tested after having sold heaps of them, and cheap. I've just put one in the new race car.

Every single r32 gtr tailshaft I've seen (and I've seen heaps) has a stuffed centre bearing, and badly worn unis. No point looking for second hand, and as you said the price of rebuilding to standard is just as high as the chromolly single peice one (because the centre cv is very expesnive to source)

from the experiance ive had with one piece shafts are they vibrate a little bit more and they also hit the floor a lot easier but ive never had one peice shafts in a skyline yet only in old nissans and datsuns

Let us know what it is like once it is installed.

Will do, There actually have a dampnig foam/wool iinside them to absorb harmonics :(

should be good, from what i have heard there quite and like a new 2 piece ,but will take 700hp :D

andmore direct and smooth with power and response.

so you got one from uas?

how long till they get it?

Yeah i sure did, from john, (great guy,veryhelpful) ,should be around a few days production time

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
