krzysztof Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Ok, I have purchased a second hand pair of r33 gtr front driveshafts and would like to get them reconditioned before i fit them. I have used a driveshaft mob in hawthorn many times before and do not want to use them as they are very hit and miss.. they get it right sometimes but other times they dont and i really only want to do the job once. can anyone recommend a place in melbourne... i have looked on yellow pages and there are plenty: Driveshaft Joints in Melbourne cheers.

Sandeep Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I (and alot of other zed guys) have used Knox Driveshaft services with no issues to date. 73 Bursaria Avenue Ferntree Gully, 9758 4015. His name is Jeff, give him a call and he'll help you out. You might have to drop by his workshop to show him what you want done. His prices are good and I can't fault his workmanship.

krzysztof Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 yeah i've been using jeff for years.. i actually went and saw him the other day if he could help me out but he doesn't really do FWD driveshafts.. he said he'd reco them if i organise the parts, which i was considering but nissan dont sell any parts for driveshafts so all the gear will essentially be aftermarket - its an option if i coudl source all the gear but i rather take them to a reputable place that can do the job start to finish. any others people?

V28VX37 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Digging up an old thread, I'm looking for a driveline specialist in Melbourne. I've always had some slack/backlash in the driveline since the manual conversion (all correct R34 parts), it 'clunks' when changing from 1st to 2nd especially. I wouldn't mind working out whether it's the clutch/flywheel, box itself, driveshaft balance/centre bearing, or the diff. Also looking at getting the following done: Engine rear main seal Input shaft seal and gasket Output shaft seal Spigot bush – if needed Driveshaft rebalance – if needed Gearbox mount Any recommendations in inner Melbourne or the north?

Odium Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Although not a driveline specialist, Racepace Motorsport are skyline specialists, and would be more than capable of this job. I cannot recommend their team enough. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310418-driveshaft-mobs-in-melb/#findComment-7724663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
