Ok, I have purchased a second hand pair of r33 gtr front driveshafts and would like to get them reconditioned before i fit them.

I have used a driveshaft mob in hawthorn many times before and do not want to use them as they are very hit and miss.. they get it right sometimes but other times they dont and i really only want to do the job once.

can anyone recommend a place in melbourne... i have looked on yellow pages and there are plenty:

Made up a great strengthened drive shaft for my brothers commodore after he broke his in half, pretty cheap for the quality and they got the work done in less than 24 hours too which was pretty sweet.

I (and alot of other zed guys) have used Knox Driveshaft services with no issues to date.

73 Bursaria Avenue Ferntree Gully, 9758 4015. His name is Jeff, give him a call and he'll help you out. You might have to drop by his workshop to show him what you want done. His prices are good and I can't fault his workmanship.

yeah i've been using jeff for years.. i actually went and saw him the other day if he could help me out but he doesn't really do FWD driveshafts.. he said he'd reco them if i organise the parts, which i was considering but nissan dont sell any parts for driveshafts so all the gear will essentially be aftermarket - its an option if i coudl source all the gear but i rather take them to a reputable place that can do the job start to finish.

any others people?

they wouldn't touch the front shaft b/w the transfer case and front diff or the front driveshafts themselves? cheers mate.

If you're looking for Northern suburbs, I found these guys really good:

Duggan's Balancing

Reservoir

They built and balanced a custom shaft for me for a turbo 400 box into my truck

Digging up an old thread, I'm looking for a driveline specialist in Melbourne.

I've always had some slack/backlash in the driveline since the manual conversion (all correct R34 parts), it 'clunks' when changing from 1st to 2nd especially.

I wouldn't mind working out whether it's the clutch/flywheel, box itself, driveshaft balance/centre bearing, or the diff.

Also looking at getting the following done:

  • Engine rear main seal
  • Input shaft seal and gasket
  • Output shaft seal
  • Spigot bush – if needed
  • Driveshaft rebalance – if needed
  • Gearbox mount
Any recommendations in inner Melbourne or the north?

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
