Hi all,

Having snapped my shafts like twigs on the weekend im looking for options to upgrade.

I have a friend who tried billet items from the US but snapped them also. Should I just keep putting stock ones back in and see how I go?

What have you done? Bought?

Just because someone snapped the drive shafts from the States doesn't mean you will. They seem to be reasonably priced. Go for it. How old were your drive shafts by the way ? Original ?

Are you snapping the half shafts or the driveshafts?

If you are snapping the half shafts, modify the way you drive. We have guys that run low 9's on standard diffs. If you just roll up, limiter and launch then you are going to always break shit. If you roll up, handbrake on, preload the driveline, handbrake off and then limiter launch, you will probably save everything

Half shafts and possibly the planetary gears in the diff.

I didnt launch the car as I was just feeling out the traction, its axle hopped twice just after I left the line then bang.

Ill be putting stock shocks in the rear and getting I higher profile tyres but want to see if there any worthwhile options for the shafts.

I think its even possible to install the GTR centre into the existing R200 housing. Then all you need to do is bolt the GTR axles to the side and go do some launches. Internal widths etc are all the same from memory. I have a couple of diffs lying around the shop I could check but time is scarce for me during the day so you might have to wait a month for that info

yep, use the GTR set up, one race team i read about break half shafts on a semi regular basis then tried using aftermarket shafts but they broke more often than factory shafts, thier solution was to use new factory shafts and change the way they launched the car (ie no axle hop)

Rear subframes are all interchangable, Could you not just shim the diff to a cirtain spec.

ive fit Gtr front hubs and also changed over the rear hubs on my GTS4, Through thats probly much more similar drivertrain to a gtr then a gtst would be.

Though in saying that i did use gtst rear hubs and the axels are a straight fit.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
