Hey guys 1990 N/A 5 spd does any one no where i can get a one peiece tail shaft and the cost on the gold coast QLD.. or the price of getting new centre bearing and uni joints?? which is the better?? cheers simon
I'm not sure but when I got my tailshaft done my mechanic said that the bearing and uni's were non-servicable parts ie. you have to replace the whole thing. Not sure why Nissan would do it this way. New nissan OEM 2piece is around 1300 to replace? The one piece is far better. Much lighter too. I think mine was around 5kilos lighter.
couple of days they said they need the car for a couple of days i can do that especially in slacks creek 45mins from home
Did u speak with Ron personally? You can always r & r yourself or local mechanic and send by courier for re-build.... you'll be longer without a Zed and may cost more. Gibbs @ Burleigh do one-piece but charge $700+
Spoke to Ron I spoke to Ron he said he needs it for a day and half and they quoted me $450 not fitted and the other guy yesturday quoted me $450 fitted there not making any sence.
I too got some similar run around when I went there. Think I will perhaps source the shaft there, and get Amec to fit. 1-2 hours work to fit, and Petron want the car for 2 days. Some ridiculous fitting charge too! Pfft
simon I got mine there about a year ago. He had the car for a day. You could ask him to make one and get gavin wood to fit it. And just by the way the reason the original shaft is two piece is because it is safer to use at higher rpm. The longer the shaft the lower the max rpm is. The one piece does a fine job though.
Get the shaft made and I will install it for you on the tech day at Pex's place in a few weeks. I've had a bit of practise
i will do Will see if they can just give me the shaft and get it fitted some where else pex day sounds good carton of beer for who wants to do it
By the sound of things so far, I don't think there is any doubt that they can give you the shaft.:zlove:
going to Gibbs Going to Gibbs paying a lil extra but i know i'll get the sevice i want and i wont be stuffed around. thanks for the input guys and yes i will give u a hand doing it love working on my Zed i learn something new every day. if beers not ur choice then anything in tthat price range thanks guys.
