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 believe results were posted one person that track races their car, the result was no improvement. Money would have been better spent on a lighter clutch/flywheel to improve response.

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.

How long until you put your shaft in Andrew?

Be interesting to see if you have the same issue as a few of us have had. Maybe we can get a discount for the shipping back to America

I got mine running, never tested on the track but so far it has done close to 50 dyno runs while tunning the car, no issues so far that I am aware of, 10.500RPM on most pulls.

Not going to disclose too much on what is in it but I will tell you that there is a mixture between trust and hks with some personal r&d.

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.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
