louiseanddanny 10.5 @ 132MPH Donating Members 477 Member For: 17y 13d Gender: Male Location: FALCON COUNTRY Posted 11/03/12 10:37 AM Share Posted 11/03/12 10:37 AM I enquired about a new heavy duty input shaft I think its the billet one that Simon at Nizpro has stated to me in a message just for an interest because I was in Matt's car when it broke the first time it makes me stress if mines on the way out. This is what Simon said in the email:To supply only you are looking at $1550.00, Drive in drive away price including reprogramming is $2950.00 We require the vehicle for 2 working daysCheers SimonHope it helps anyone who has enquiries "how much" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good I've found a solution in way of a new shaft that has been cryoed and shot peened for a total price that is a 1/3 of the nizpro jobby. And from what I understand only about 5% weaker than the Billet so perfect for my power level and budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
