35 pages..... and I'm lazy to read..

Can someone post a summary of events?

Do the ACPT tailshafts provide a worthwhile performance gain or not? Any alternatives been discussed? or is it better to stick with the factory ?

I wouldnt buy acpt again..

go with someone else, these guys have been nothing but headache.

if my shaft causes problems its going back to acpt.

now i wasnt after performance made from the shaft, just wanted more weight taken out of the car.

Well mine finally passed its big test 7k rpm launch down the drag strip ran about half a dozen times this was the 1000ft/lbs model in a 34GTR this was in a 260awkw GTR not big power or anything but did handle it with no dramas no vibration all good .

Could not really do a comparison as i changed a few things since the last drag outing changed the stock suspension to HKS hipermax coilovers and fitted a titanium exhaust after removing a dodgey custom stainless job. I ran a 12.3 @115mph with the carbon shaft and i ran a 12.2 @ 116.5 mph two years ago without it !!! but i think my tyres had worn out their use by date as i haven't used them in over two years could not get any traction best 60ft was a 1.95

Is it really killing anyone by having it open? A few of us are still having issues.

Well yes - its in the GB section...

This is a section for active group buys...

Fair enough you have issues - but how long does this thread need to exist to document what everyone already knows?

Im trying to clean up for sale/GB sections etc, main reason for it all. (new forum version coming)

Not really... there is no "place" for this :)

Looks like its all sorted though? Been several months since posts etc etc.

Closing on that basis.

If anyone needs more info to add - then simply PM me and i can add it in.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
