yeah sweet, i think alot will go for that 100 upgrade :) seems worth it in the end as there is only a few pounds weight difference

needs 2 more confirmations :) hopefully these people will get back to me soon.

And no worries Michael hope to catch up with you soon! hopefully i'll have my car on track in August.

there advertising the same tailshaft for 1660au delivered for skylines, and 1200 for s13/14/15... pretty cheap i thought, and for the extra $160, i'd feel safer buying it from someone here then overseas, least then you can throw it at him if something goes wrong.. and you don't have to buy 10 of em.

The 1000 ft/lbs shaft what sort of horsepower will it hold on to because iam looking for something that can hold on to a 350-400 awkw gtr that does the odd 8000rpm launch will this do that or is it recommanded to go to 2000ft/lbs model

Am in the same split decision myself.

they still order them from america. so its pretty much the same deal going on. same wait, more price..

what i am offering is still cheeper.. and 2000ft pounds option. for only 1500us delivered :)

i'd say the 100us extra is worth it. to get the higher rated shaft. but probably not needed.. i keep seeing, 1000hp and 2000hp rated.. and the same 1000ft/pounds and 2000ft/pounds measurments used..

no worries, thought it might be worth asking what price he could do on ten shafts.. seeing as i think someone said there 1700us +del normally, he must be getting a good deal too, but i guess he'd have to be if he's the dealer.. anyway

i couldn't help myself, seeing as no one else feels like saving more money here, i asked that bloke if he could beat your price for 10 shafts, here's the reply i got: "...........Hi Thanks for the heads up. I don't know where he would be getting the shafts from, probably just fishing, because I am the Aust., and NZ distributopr for ACPT and they know nothing of that deal. BUT, having said that, I can certainly beat that price for an order of 10. Spread the word Paul." i suggest you ask him for a price if you want to save further dollars.

Paul the Australian distributor Has just contacted me about this now..

And he has since contacted James @ Acpt in the states. to find out what i was doing.

we're now looking at $1400 Australian Delivered for the 2000hp rated shaft, and can Now do this on less than 10 order.

i'm still awaiting an email from him now to confirm this.

so the price is now even lower than before and dealing with the Australian Distributor instead of the James In the Us..

i will get back to everyone about this when i know more.

thanks for getting him onto me sic200

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
