Well Im going to add my two bobs worth...

I have got a PST carbon shaft in my GTR R34 it is the best there is.... you get what you pay for.. you want to go lighter then depending on power you will be buying another one as it will break...

I bought a ACPT shaft and I broke it in a week, it was shit, then they sent me another one as replacement it was suppose to be the 1200hp one, I could not even drive the car above 40 klms/Hr the vibrations were that bad, I rang them they said it had been balanced the service was piss poor and I was pissed off, so I sent it to a engineering shop to get rebalanced. So another $600 for the rebalance and it was ok... I Will never by another one from ACPT they make them for trust, nismo and all the other Jap brands.. they are crap.

By this time I put a Holinger in my car so I spoke to PST drive shaft in the US they custom made one and it is awesome.. good to talk to and the price was very reasonable, it will be better now the Dollar is $1.06 The gearbox will break before the shaft will.

Dont pm me asking stupid questions on the weight, cost or where do you get it, do your research as I did.

Such a helpful guy you are

Trent I also have a PST carbon shaft in my car and have fitted one to another car that you would know fairly well. Sold one to another guy and have never had a complaint from him. I also have another one here waiting to be fitted to another car currently in the build.I would recomend them as they were good to deal with and where reasonably priced individually but are flexible on price if you organize a group buy. Give me a call if you want contact details.

Just spoke with Mark at PST (sorry Dazmo, too early to call you).

Price is US$1099 so nearer AU$1025 with the currency around 1.08.

3 1/4" carbon tube which includes joints on each end, ready to bolt in to your car. Weighs around 12 lbs = 5.4kg.

rated to 1000 ft lbs of torque (1355 nm). Said he could make one rated to 1350 if need be for an extra couple of hundred bucks.

shipping likely to be around $150 mark.

Edit:

Torqline shaft failure load in excess of 4000nm.

I know which one i want. just need to find the extra $$$.

My last dyno graph shows 1012.4 FtLb so I'm out for the PST shaft.

If you go Torqline let me know.....

4000Nm... using same / comparable testing method?? that's a shitload more. Will be interested to see how they stand up to the torque from the higher-powered RBs, whichever route you decide to take.

4000Nm "failure load" is different from 1350Nm torque rating. 4000Nm is the breaking point of the Torqline, 1350Nm is the safe output for use of the PST.

What's the weight difference between the carbon and aluminum ones?

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
