Uas One Piece Tailshaft

[Beer Baron]

interesting. so since the mods it's been good? notice any benefits from it's lighter weight?

[GTRsean]

No problems, except for a bit of drive line noise if you are in say 2nd or 4th gear taking off at low revs etc. The chromemolly tube transmitts some of the noise from the gearbox. Gbox is second hand anyway.

In rwd it does light up wheels alot faster. Little difference in acceleration probably due to lighter flywheel and tripple plate assy.

Be warned, your two piece gets chopped up for it's ends so you can't swap back unless you but another two piece like I did, just in case....

screwing around with driveline angles isnt fun.

the 1 piece is good for cars that dont have it corect to begin with. aka 300zx and the old commodoore lol.

[T04GTR]

ps. thats a 300zx or a gtr rear shaft pictured. looks good but

[T04GTR]

WTF $760 for a short shifter

TO4GTR: GTR one piece shown, (now in my 32).

Well guys, just had a new custom 2-piece fitted and guess what - no more high speed vibration problems. Mine was put down to an alignment issue between the gearbox and diff - so if your fitting an RB25 box to an R32 GTST be careful when deciding to go the one-piece option.

[Russco]

I can't think of a good reason why you wouldn't run a tailshaft loop anyway? seriously...

Dude I think you read this out of context - no tailshaft loop is definitely asking for trouble yet I see lots of guys using one piece shafts without them!

[T04GTR]

they dont hve one standard anyway

ps... the thing at the rear is NOT a tailshaft loop

Well i rang a place today to arrange my new tailshaft to suit the R25 bos on my R32...and was told not to bother with a 1 piese unit

I said its what i want though as im told they are lighter and better, and, well just better

His reply was they woudl be too long for a 1 pce, and a 2 pce woudl be far superior. Considering this guy does race cars, inclusing a friends Gibson Grp A car recently...im taking whatever advice he gives me

So 2 pce fo rme, but im curious to hear that ppl running 1 pce find it more responsive.

I found absolutely no difference in response with the one-piece (metal) over a 2-piece (metal).

I think you received some good advice from this dude

[r33_racer]

your not the first person to get that advice...i was told the same thing.

[Roy]

So what is the perceived advantages of going 1 piece?

[Bl4cK32]

if there was any advantages id say that there is no centre bearings (less maintenance) and its damn lighter. I can pickup my 1 piece with 1 hand.

I put mine in as i fitted the rb25 box, and havent had any problems. It was probably easier to make a single shaft with the ends i needed than mod a 2 piece.
