Sorry to hear Matt,

Are you gonna build it stronger now and did it break under the same circumstances (downshift)?

Since the day you broke the first one I only drive in manual mode as I didn't want the box to shift down a gear and end up with the same result.

When you first broke it what did you replace it with? Cryo freezed one?

[Bomber]

pretty sure it was the stock shaft.

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 days

Cheers Simon

Hope it helps anyone who has enquiries "how much"

Just to add, the billet input shaft is an exchange item (broken/non broken) as we machine out the old shaft and re-weld the new billet shaft into the clutch drum (using a jig to ensure its aligned properly).

There are just under 40 billet input shafts in cars to this day with no failures

In billet to you mean Titainium?

[possum]

Billet steel, there is a bit more info on the nizpro website

I was taking the piss. 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.
