One-piece aluminium propshaft.

Custom built by Driftmotion U.S. for N/A auto, this is the only one on the planet. :trophy:

 

Would require a thicker adaptor block to fit N/A MT5. :think:

 

Maybe fits Supra with R154 conversion, but no-one has managed to measured one yet? :confused:

 

The OE two piece steel prop weighs 24lbs, this lightweight one-piece is only 14lbs. :yummy:

 

Reduction in rotational mass liberates circa + 5 bhp @ wheels and + 1 mpg. :)

 

My plan was to include this propshaft upgrade in the Hybrid transmission build, yet the engineering required to modify the tailshaft proved too expensive. :lame:

 

This has only been on the car a short time and has proven a perfect fit and well balanced. :thumbs:

 

I had to wait 7 months for this to be made and will be sad to see it go. :(

 

The improved connection between transmission and diff is quite noticable in a 'James May's nether region feeling' kind of way! ;)

 

I could re-engineer the front of this to include a sliding yoke and use it, but it is way too good an item to recycle. :(

 

I would sooner sell it on for £110 less than I paid for it and put the money towards having another made. :)

 

Asking price reduced to £275 plus £10 P&P for U.K. mainland.

It won't fit a T.T. auto or 6MT without the addition of a slip yoke at the front, because they both have flanges on gear-box tail-shaft.

 

2" too short or too long, can't remember :think: for an MT5, would require 2" spacer adaptor at the rear. :shrug:

 

Fits an N/A auto perfectly.

 

Could prove to fit a Supra with a 2JZA and/or 1UZFE R154 conversion, if anyone every gets around to measuring the length of prop required. :think:
