Greetings,

Im currently on the lookout for a tailshaft for an A31 to get through regency, the centre bearing has collapsed in mine & the people who have been doing the work for me have been unable to source a part. It's the only thing I need left to get my car back on the road! :blink:

If anyone has any idea as to where one might be found, pleast let me know. :ninja:

Thank you so very much.. :merli:

Adam.

Is the center bearing in the rear half of the tailshaft or the front half? (behind or infront of the unijoint)

If it is in the front half,

The front half is similar to the R32 tailshaft

get yourself an R32 manual tailshaft, disassemble the front from the rear.

Disassemble your cefiro tailshaft in the same manner.

Notice that the flange that joins the two halves is larger on the R32 tailshaft, hence incompatible.

Use a rattle gun to remove the nut that is securing the flange to tailshaft, and swap the flange from your cefiro half onto the R32 half.

Now the R32 front half will bolt up to your cefiro rear half, using the cefiro flanges. You will need to have the tailshaft balanced.

This is how I did my tailshaft when I did my manual conversion.

If the bearing is on the rear half of the tailshaft,

get yourself an auto tailshaft (may be easier to find than a manual version) remove the front half from the rear half, do the same to your current tailshaft. Swap rear halves over.

Hope that the replacement tailshaft has a good bearing, you will also need to get this balanced.

Just had a look in nissan FAST, you can get a new bearing kit from them, have no idea about price but you could ring them up and ask.

the part code is 37521K and part number is 37521-85L26- description is BEARING KIT-CENTER

Ay mate cheers...

I ended up grabbing a R32 tailshaft the other day, and took it down and did notice that it was slightly shorter then the Cefiro, but the bloke there who is a mate of mines brother said he can make it work by doing exactly what you just said. :domokun:

Thanks ..

Adam.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
