R31Nismoid Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/389865-carbon-driveshafts/page/2/#findComment-6218564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazmo Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/389865-carbon-driveshafts/page/2/#findComment-6219026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

God_speed Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've got a Torqline CTG one in my 34, no vibrations from the driveline whatsoever even above 110kph. I believe it's similar to the one you've quoted and similar to this.

God_speed Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Cheers mate. Not sure if Nick had this in when he did the Cootamundra runs. Unfortunately I can't say whether the car feels any quicker than with the stock shaft as I bought it like this.

tk80 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) 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 $$$.

tk80 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 just waiting for reply from AMS. They are the torqline US distributor and seeing if they can offer anything decent. Otherwise we'll confirm numbers and go straight to the UK mob and get this happening.

Will be interested to see how they stand up to the torque from the higher-powered RBs, whichever route you decide to take.

T-Rex Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 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?
