Hey guys,

I have just discovered that my tail shaft unis in my r33 gtst are kaput (vibration, etc), diff yoke end in paticuler,

i have spoke with nissin and they want $1400 for a new tail shaft , althought it is complete.

hardy spicer want some thing like $600 to get them done, and then i stumbled apone the UAS

one pice tail shaft, big unis, new , super strong (rated to 1500hp) and is only $570.

im making 270rwkw so i dont want to end up buggering up another set of unis in the future.

so does any one have the uas tail shaft or are able to shed some light on the best direction,

my main concern with the one piece is it hitting my muffler (trust PE II), althought looking at

it on the hoist now, the shaft is straight :P so i think it will be fine, just need confirmation lol.

Thank in advance guys

Lee

The UAS single piece ones are an excellent way to go. Simple exhcange process, fit straight in, well tested after having sold heaps of them, and cheap. I've just put one in the new race car.

Every single r32 gtr tailshaft I've seen (and I've seen heaps) has a stuffed centre bearing, and badly worn unis. No point looking for second hand, and as you said the price of rebuilding to standard is just as high as the chromolly single peice one (because the centre cv is very expesnive to source)

from the experiance ive had with one piece shafts are they vibrate a little bit more and they also hit the floor a lot easier but ive never had one peice shafts in a skyline yet only in old nissans and datsuns

Let us know what it is like once it is installed.

Will do, There actually have a dampnig foam/wool iinside them to absorb harmonics :(

should be good, from what i have heard there quite and like a new 2 piece ,but will take 700hp :D

andmore direct and smooth with power and response.

so you got one from uas?

how long till they get it?

Yeah i sure did, from john, (great guy,veryhelpful) ,should be around a few days production time

and then a day or two post, so should be early next week :bunny:

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
