Ok was wondering what people are running, as mine appears to be on the way out.

One piece or two piece? I have heard the UAS one appears to be quite good? Also is anyone running a tailshaft loop with the one piece? Noticed more vibration or harshness etc?

Also who did the work if you had it done locally?

Mine's a custom single piece. Made by a metalworker in Hume. Don't remember the name of the place, wouldn't go back there anyway. I'd say a competent diff shop might be able to make one. Engineers could do it too.

It uses a Z32 300ZX TT front yoke and V8 Commodore/Falcon universal joints (used to have Mazda RXsomething uni's but it ate them pretty quick), and you must have a tailshaft loop on a single piece for it to be legal.

Yeah I pretty much knew I'd need a tailshaft loop to make it legal, plus I don't want the tailshaft digging into the ground if it fails. Probably getting one made up at UAS in sydney, due to the BS parts situation with the gbox at the moment.

1 week job turns into 3 weeks of bullshit due to nissan spare parts retardedness. My advice if you deal with any major parts with nissan triple check the part numbers and double check it fits. Not the shops fault, just have a very low opinion of nissan japan now.

any vibrations?

you'll need to have it rebalanced every couple of years.

Not that I can tell, just seems to be a background whine which I assume is the tailshaft. Delivery is smooth and nothing that feels like a vibration. Didn't know you needed to rebalance it, would every 2 or 3 years do? Would of been good if UAS had told me that.

Running the UAS one seems to clunk a bit at low speeds eg reversing outa the driveway

Can be a bitch to remove if you let the back uni thingo come apart as you remove it, be warned!!!

Other than that all good though

Am not running a tailshaft loop and passed rego like that though thinking about it it seems very sensible to run one

edit: did ya get UAS to make ya up a tailshaft loop??

Would be interested in price maybe they would do em cheaper if they had to make a couple

Group Buy????

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
