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

:thumbsup:

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?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
