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

and then a day or two post, so should be early next week :bunny:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • 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.
