hopefully they will reimburse you the $210. that is surely cheaper than if you had used their fed-ex account to send it back, then they balance it, then send it back. the one way postage alone would have been $210.

Thought i'd report back again :). Got the shaft in last night. I think being a one piece it must transmit more NHV through the driveline. Its not unbalanced as such (well there isnt any one speed where it shakes the car like it used to). Of the guys that have fitted their's, have you found the same thing?

On a side note car gets tuned on tuesday. Woohoo!

Good news Paul. I haven't really noticed any increase in NVH to be honest, but I don't drive it every week. I have a small vibration from the OSG 5 speed that needs attention... 3rd gear light to medium acceleration only.

Vibration after putting in the OSG 5 speed. I have that EXACT issue. ONLY in 3rd though. I have gotten rid of most of it by putting in rear sub frame locking collars. 90% dissapeared. How many kms have you put on it? Ive done 1200 and although its not getting any worse... it aint getting any better. I have rung up and spoken to quite a few people about this but they all say it isnt the gearbox! If you do manage to fix the issue please let me know what you did!

Paul, Mark

No billet plate, I wouldn't have 2,500Km on the box yet. A mate told me it might have been a bearing run out issue...not sure. I'm home in the first week of July so I'll have the shop pull it down and go through it again. Definitive answer...here's hoping.

On second thoughts I might just get the centre bearing replaced on the standard shaft(s) and see if that changes it. If not...then it's the box

Well I have the same 3rd gear vibration with both the stock shaft and and the carbon one. When i built my box i replaced all bearings with new NSK sealed units. Either way it will be interesting to see what comes out of you pulling yours apart. The bloke that built my box also used that yellow paint on the gears to make sure they were all meshing correctly... Everything seemed 100%.

mmmm. I couldn't tell as my centre bearing was on the way out anyway. The cat who built mine has built a number for my tuner. I'm not aware of anyone else from that shop with a prob...I might put a thread in the drivetrain section tomorrow + the UK forum.

EDIT: Done

Didn't any of you guys read the acpt motto before your purchase? EXPERIENCE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE! so true so true.......what an experience!

I bought a pst shaft when darren was doing a group buy. I spoke to pst personally, and their service is excellent. All the extra time and money that you guys have spent has really made this such a sour experience. If anyone would like carbon shaft, shoot dazmo a pm and he would be glad to help you out.

Another report back

Car has been tuned and i took it for a long drive yesterday. This shaft is going back to where it came from. There is a vibration/grumble at 70, goes away at 82ish then comes back at 100 then anything up from there it just gets worse and worse (not anywhere as bad as before. Anything over 120 you really cant see anyting out of the rear vision mirror). Also what i noticed was when you feed the power on it makes more of a noise then if you are just cruising. Im so over this thing!

Going to WSID on wednesday so maybe a 7500 RPM launch might sort it out haha.

In 2 minds how to go about this.

Seeing that I got it rebalanced externally from them, the might not accept it. However when/if these guys do accept it back they will probebrly put it on some sort of machine to see if it is out. Now the guy that I got it balaced up through did say it is perfectly straight and is reading "0" on the machine. Bah humbug!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
