Item for sale: custom built 1pc tail shaft by Universal Drive Shaft Services.

Location: Brisbane, Northside.

Contact: Tim 0410 544 487

Price: $600ono

Looking for a new home for this tail shaft that came in a car I've bought recently, someone who can make use of it as it is overkill for my intentions. I've put a stock tail shaft in my car.

This will make an excellent addition to some one with a manual coupe, non abs who is chasing big power.

As you'll see in the photos, it's still in as new condition and was very costly to make.

I am open to offers and swaps for clean GTR seats.

txt me anytime.

Thanks.

The tail shaft is of excellent build quality, I can't imagine it ever having a reliability issue. The previous owner of the car had big HP plans for the car which never came about, being the reason for this tail shaft and the ridiculous clutch that I'm also about to take out of it.

There is nothing wrong with these parts I'm removing, just that they are too much for the car as I want it.

As for vibrations, at first I thought this tail shaft was the cause of a vibration the car has but since changing the diff and tail shaft back to stock items, the vibration is still there. So, I can't fault either of those items for causing a vibration as it's still there. I'm now thinking it might be in the rear wheels or something else like that.

I will get some proper measurements tonight but from memory length is a bit shy of 1400mm overall, width would be a bit shy of 90mm and weight would be about 8kg at a guess just from carrying it on the weekend.

My post code is 4053 at home or 4009 at work, can get it picked up from either. Or I can drop it at Pack&Send Brisbane CBD, I called them today and they said roughly $82 to send to Sydney fully insured and tracked, I took a guess on the weight when I spoke to them though.

I have had someone make an offer via PM but have not got back to me to confirm yet.

Hey guys, tail shaft is still available, although there has been some interest, just waiting for someone to pull the trigger.

In addition to this I now also want to sell the clutch that just came out of the car.

I must warn though, as you will see in the photos, this clutch is not very suited to daily drivers.

It was removed from my car as I'll never make enough hp to need it and I'm driving my skyline daily a at the moment.

Only a few months old and hasn't done many k's, just like the tail shaft.

Looking for $1250ono.

No worries, the clutch is much better suited to your car, will be good to see it all back together and racing.

I currently have a $300 offer on the tail shaft, is anyone willing to pay more than that? $400 maybe?

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
