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:

Driveshaft Joints in Melbourne

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

50 Newlands Rd

Reservoir

Vic 3073

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?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
