[group Buy] Acpt Carbon Fibre Tailshafts Any Model! $1400us


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to start some intrest in a group buy on Shafts.

i need to get 10 to get the price of $1400Us delivered which is a great price!!!

The Us dollar is looking great for buyers so hopefully we can get the numbers up quick!

I beleive they will be making the shafts for any length so any model will be good to go!

The price is 1400us delivered if we can get 10!

I will keep this running for as long as possible as i want 10 done!

the price for under 10 will be arouind 1500us without delivery which is about 250 each.

I just placed an order for 2 with James at ACPT...This is an excellent Group buy.

Just a couple of day late....I will e-mail James to see if these 2 can be added....but doubt it.

Oh nice, well i think it will take a few months to get the numbers up.

is where the discussion for these spawned! we wernt too sure if 10 would be able to happen.

Andrew count me in for 1 but I'll only have the funds available in 2 or 3 months. Will that be ok?

Hopefully it will take about that much time to get the numbers up :)

but your on the list :P And pray our dollar gets stronger, and theirs weaker!

how much do they weigh ?

I'll email them today, and get some more information from James

Here's a reply i have just in now.

"These shafts are rated for 1000 ft/lbs of torque. I can also make a high

horsepower application that is $100 more per shaft and will hold up to 2000

ft/lbs of torque."

i replied with a question about weight, and also as i need an odd length shaft questions about that.

Interested.

I'll be in if this gets off the ground by the time I'm ready for one. 10 is an abitious target though!!

Stuff it! I'll take one at US$1400.00. Does that include delivery to the West?

Hey mate, i beleive the delivery is to anywhere, as i beleive they are bieng sent seperate.

Sweeet, we're almost half way there! tho there are a few who are not so sure yet..

.........hmmmmm... Put me down for "partial interest" Angus.. ie if you've got 9 and you need the 10th, I could be in. I am sitting on the fence about this because although I understand that rotational mass makes more of a difference than just removing weight, the tailshaft isn't very big in diameter.. And it doesn't do big revs in 1st, 2nd etc.. so I am a bit perplexed as to if it would make a 'noticable difference'.. having said that I read somewhere else that some think it makes quite a lot of diffence. What am I missing?

Has anyone here actually put one on and done an A-B comparison? I'd be keen to know..

GTR-STI, have you noticed an actual difference?

Giant?

You might be better off reading a thread in the motorsport section about gtr weight.

someone explained it a bit in there. but you could also re ask them questions there too.

put me down for one and do they do one for front drive input for Bnr32

That shaft is already very light, it would be a good idea, but i dont think there would be a great deal of gain in it as its not a full time shaft.

  • 2 weeks later...
Hopefully the attached picture will entise a few extras for you.

They are normally $1700US....this is a great group buy.

Hey mate,

Thanks for posting the pic... I assume that this is the ACPT one?

From that pic though, it looks like a metal shaft (I think I can see welding at one end?) with a carbon sleeve over it?

Can you confirm, and/or if at all possible upload a better/high-res photo?

Cheers,

Andrew.

:D

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
