Hi I'm looking for a place that can work on the transfer case to front diff driveshaft that is found on GTRs, GTS4s and stageas. The universal joints in them are permanent from the factory, meaning that it would require machine work to remove the old ones and hopefully fit some generic ones. I'm hoping for a place that has experience doing that and at a reasonable price.

The most economical solution is to replace with a good used one, they rarely fail. We have plenty of shafts out at Trojan Motorsport.

You would have nothing but trouble and expense trying to replace with aftermarket joints, mainly due to size and balancing issues.

I understand Award Diffs is temporarily closed due to a personal issue in the family.

The lads at Import parts will most likely go around to Trojans.

Sorry to sound like a fanboy but thems the facts.

Thanks guys. I purchased one on ebay before reading the replies here. Rust has very much set in at the transfer case side uni joint, so unfortunately catastrophic mechanical failure is always an option.

Seems like water made its way into the joint, causing it to grind and open more of a cavity and allowing more contaminants to enter. Ill stick some boat grease on the next one.

OK so. Back on the hunt for a driveshaft. I purchased an R33 GTR driveshaft with no play, however it doesn't work on an auto stagea. Well, almost works. The part technically fits in, but an R33 GTR shaft has a larger diameter at the transfer case side, and tapers down at the diff side -  compared to the stagea one which has a constant diameter.

One of the balancing tabs on the shaft is fouling against the parking lock cable. Meaning that the shaft technically cleared the transmission, but the extra ~1.5mm causes it to foul. :4_joy::4_joy: Oh the joys. The cable (which is encased in a metal tube, which is what is fouling) is hard up against the transmission, so I don't think I can bend it out of the way.

Stav, do you work at Trojan? I tried to call a couple of times - no answer today.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
