It's a ZF with a 3582 with a 66mm upgrade, pw stage 2, full xforce turbo back, KPM 1000cc injectors etc.. and I would like to give it a few runs at WSID. What are your thoughts on a one peice or two peice?. Im in sydney and are there any recomendations? Gibsons, hardy spicer, G&J? Will I get away with a retube or is this not good enough? Obviosly CF would be best but the$$! Like to hear your opinions. Edited 08/08/17 11:05 AM by 4321 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that I got a quote from Propeller shaft services in bankstown of around $500 to retube the existing, if you want to go that way. Can't remember if new bearing included though.
