Gracias...

I'd better get off my ass and try to fit this thing.

If I need to get a custom spacer made up, I'll be having words.

OS30GK: Can you please confirm that the OUTSIDE DIAMETER of the 2000hp shaft should be 9.6cm?

Can anyone else provide the correct LENGTH of the shaft, from mounting point to mounting point?

Took mine out to HKS to get an independant professional measurement and mine was 9.5 cms and thats a 2000/lbs shaft. There were couple of spots just over 9.5 and other spots just under. We took 10 measurements equal distance apart up and down the shaft.

So where to go from here???

Just measured my R32 GTR 2000 lb/ft shaft and diameter is 9.7cm.

I still have vibrations after changing to another set of wheels, so will look at re-fitting stock shaft to see if that is the cause....

I emailed them yesterday and got this info from them.....

I have attached our assembly drawing so that you can see the length of your R33 driveshaft. With both adapters on, the driveshaft should measure out to be 44.72" from end to end. Also, 9.5cm is equaled to 3.75" which is exactly where the tube should be. I understand your concern and If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me anytime.

nice of them to send you the drawing. it might be worthwhile getting the 32 GTR one as well for merli etc so they can confirm it's all sweet before install. kind of a customer implemented QA.

yeah i second that.

crazyeeeeeeee!

mick let me know how yours is going... sounds like a balancing problem?

Edited by Angus Smart

yep it does sound like a balancing problem. Though I would have expected they have a QA process of sorts...

I have just removed tonight, can't be arsed fitting stock one, will do tomorrow and let know the results. Will be both happy and very angry if my problems go away with removal of the shaft...

:)

Anyway chaps, heres some pics for anyone interested...

PS anyone have the assembly drawing with specs for 2000lb/ft R32 GTR shaft?

Hey guys

Okay the source of my very severe vibration in the car when travelling anything over 90-100kph (which is a major problem when the car does over 200kph on every lap of the circuit and does the drags at 200kph) is............

THE ACPT CARBON FIBRE DRIVESHAFT !

whooohooo. I'm so happy! NOT.

FFS.

First I pay a reputable garage to fit the shaft.

Then I remove it, and whooshka, problem goes away.

But just to be certain, I re-fit the CF shaft to ensure correct fitting 200% ! - Problem come back identical.

Remove again, and problem gone.

What a peice of Junk.

Very unhappy customer that wan't his money back and will throw this rubbish in the bin...

(On a side note, I can defo feel a little less responsiveness through the gears with it removed! lol)

Cheers chaps.

Mick

Hey mick,

they guys number is up above, give them a hola,

also on another note. did you get a spacer made up?? this could require balancing also??

God damn. What a friggen nightmare :D

How many of us guys have driven their cars with the shafts in? I havent driven mine yet... Still off the road!

ive driven several hundred klm's on mine no dramas yet no vibrations have done a few 180kph plus on track runs , it had a spacer made up this was the 1000ft/lbs model for a 34 GTR all good so far have not done a 7/8000rpm launch yet though thats the last test!!!

hi again all,

i have had experience in building & balancing driveshafts from modified trucks to cars & when i received mine was dissapointed with the balance weight & the way that had been attached(photo to come) it was for that reason that i havent yet installed the shaft until i have personally balanced it at my former work.I will be removing there weight after intial balance & weld on some purpose made weights not a peice of sheet cut out & rounded to suite the shaft.

Also with a steel shaft if u go about the preparation thourougly u rarely need to use weights,& if any not of the size i have on my shaft.

OK thats my rant ,going to get pic of balance weight.

    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
    • Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
    • Ah, should have been clearer. Currently has a flex sensor installed all good to go.    like u mentioned, I’ve only ever known the car on e85, I might hate 98, but I have to try it out first. Everyone says the -5 turbos get pretty laggy on 98 octane tho…
