Managed to find a second hand built tailshaft. Just needed a new uni and pinion yoke and it was good to go. A bargain really at only $600. Also picked up some f6 seats for cheap. They feel a bit comfier and look and feel like they have more support than my leather xr seats.

Got the centre bearing replaced and snapped the middle cv 3 days later. Called Gibson and they definitely have the most competitive price. Weighing up some options before I pull the trigger

So GJ will be $2100 for a manual shaft Gibson is around $1700 pending me telling them the size of my diff flange any other places I should look at? Cheers for the advice

that's the cheapest quote ive got now. that's with 1350 uni's throughout and a billet diff yoke and output shaft yoke. God carbon shafts are only $2500... If someone can point me in the right direction for a shaft that would be swell

Just spoke with my mechanic and he will be able to sort it. Good band aid fix till I can afford a $2000 built shaft haha

I thought the fg shafts wern't serviceable like the ba/bf ones? Correct me if I'm wrong because that will be an easy fix

Sorry for the late reply, have been flat out. This is the sheet with high boost. We decided to pull a degree of timing out to bring it back to a respectable 525kw on high boost. Honestly anything more than the 14psi setting on the rotary switch from the haltech is silly. Pretty much spins every gear with ease Clutch fried itself within a few days so I had DCS rebuild it to a new spec. It only has 2200lbs of clamp going in. Got them to upgrade it to 2900lbs of clamp. A hell of alot more bite in it. Got it ran in before powerplay Brisbane a few weeks ago. Car ran like a top before the tailshaft decided to clap out after I got home Upon Closer inspection looks like centre bearing in the tail shaft let go so it looks like I'm up for a built shaft. Is there any way to band aid fix it so I can drive it without just getting a whole new shaft?. I have herd several things about changing the centre bearing and it being like $1300 to do. Any advice is appreciated Lets just say the car boogies now that's for sure

Enjoy some dyno action 83919307_2673656596053581_7334943301769258491_n.mp4

Alrighty so got the ute re tuned with the new haltech and injectors. Had a problem with the original haltech and had to get it sent off to be repaired under warranty, what are the odds eh. I had Jamie at Forced Performance work on the final tune. It made 535kw and 970nm at only 20psi. Super happy with it now. Jamie was able to sort out a few of the gremlins I was having and put in a rotory switch to adjust boost on the fly. Picked up a new IC7 Dash which is a really cool bit of kit. Thinking either my clutch or stock tailshaft will be the next thing to break haha Will post up some pics soon, stay posted.

Not initially but have plans to do that in the future. Not sure at this stage If I will stick with the twin pierberg setup or go with one of the twin walbro 460 setups. still weighing up some options for that. Will definitely be talking with my tuner for the best approach with this

So a bit more of a progress update... Got sick of a few of the gremlins I have been having with the PCMtec tune I had. We believe it stems from issues relating to the manual swap so the PCMtec software is glitching etc. I'm not trying to give them a hard time or anything as the tuning abilities is awesome but it just wasn't for me. I pulled the trigger on a Haltech Plug and Play ECU w/ onboard Wo2 kit as well as a flex fuel kit. As I was maxing out the injectors with the previous tune I opted for some Stainless Bosch Motorsports 1650cc injectors. Bit of an expensive investment and in some peoples opinions a waste at the power levels I'm sitting around, but the safety features and the ability to troubleshoot all of my gremlins I think its worth while. Also looked into getting a gauge setup but for what I was after it was going to be around $1k... So ive ordered one of the new Haltech IC7 display dash which should arrive Tomorrow. Tune is booked in for late next week. Lets try not to throw a rod in the process

Here are some sheets and some more progress photos Fresh new 4" Vband dump with a flexi Bit of fab work progress Big pumps Anddddddd, the current setup finalised

Alrighty so finally got everthing buttoned up with the ute. Had all the fab work done and just got off the rollers at Profile Yesterday morning. Made a stout 472.6rwkw on just 20psi. Maxxed out whatever injectors are in it (Previous owner installed) so will upgrade to some big boys later down the track. Super happy with the result and feels a hell of a lot quicker than it did in its previous iterations. I will post some more progress pics and the dyno sheet soon. Absolutely stoked, hopefully with some injectors and a nice cool day it might just see that 500kw mark.

Few New Parts have arrived and are mocked up ready for some fab work next week Enjoy a few progress Pics

Do you have any details on the part numbers I need to make one of those puppies? Doesn't seem to be many places I can just buy them from as is. I will need to make one up
