was going to ask the same thing. for the extra 100bucks it sounds worth it.

by the way, what sort of setup will make 1000 FOOT/POUNDS of torque? let alone 1000Nm?

anyone know what sorta torque a T51R will make, seeing as thats about as big as anyones likely to run?

[Angus Smart]

So we have like five? plus a possible. Any price break for five Andrew

i think i have a few more who have jus contacted me via pm, so i will message everyone when i think i have the numbers and see whos man enough

but there was no chance on price break he said 10 or singles for the price i mentioned in the first post + delivery

[Angus Smart]

OK i've just sent off another email to James, saying we're close to ready.

asked him a few more questions to clear some up in this thread.

hopefully will have some replys soon

Cheers

is this still on?

would the advantage of the bigger one be when dumping the clutch? especially in gtr's?

i *might* be keen as i need a new tailshaft. so f**k it put me down as an almost definate.

yes it has me thinking that the bigger one would be better suited to brutal launches. 100bucks for extra piece of mind is worth it for me.

out of curiosity has anyone heard of anyone breaking one of these?

[Angus Smart]

Not that i am aware,

search the uk forums they are widely used there more than here.

tho they are also using different brands.

i'm still waiting back on an email from James..

Mate I'm in if it can be sent to Japan

I knew I heard of these guys before and I went to find out where... There is a bloke from the Netherlands (whos a member on alltrac.net and ozcelica.com) who has purchased a prop from these guys and is yet to install it. It is for a 91 CS Group A Celica.

If you can get this for a 91 Celica GT4 let me know

Update: ACPT carbon fiber propshaft! B)

The original prop weighs in at 45+ lbs (20.41+ kg) according to guys on Alltrac.net, this one is 7.26 kg and 1 piece instead of 3 for the stocker. That means less rotating mass and less drivetrain losses, nice!

The carbon shaft has a fiberglass(glass fiber) coating to protect it from whatever it's exposed to underneath a car.

It has a 1,000tq rating, so should be enough for a while.

ACPT is a US company btw, which is in the carbon propshaft scene for over 30 years now. They make these shafts for everything, from 36 tonnes garbagetrucks to dragsters. They also produce the shafts for TRUST and HKS for over 10 years now, so keeping in mind I want to use as much Jap parts as possible, this propshaft is still semi JDM.

"The 2000hp shaft is about 3

lbs heavier than the 1000 hp shaft. We will ship these individually to the

customers if you would like to do it that way or we can ship them all to one

place. Let me know what is easier for you as far as shipping goes"

that should get everyones questions answered!

ok i am going to get this underway right now,

everyone expect pm's

Also let me know which shaft you want (rating) and what car its for.
