    i had m&s driveshafts in sunshine do my driveshaft. they supplied a new input yoke to my w57 and new unis front and back (one piece shaft). it cost $350

    there is also a place in geelong called kinetik(sp) engineering. they are far cheaper as my mate is getting a new shaft made for his effie and thats $220....one piece 3" shaft

    Definatly going here:Balancing Services Australia, Chifley Drive, Preston. Spoke to some mates and heard notyhing but good things. I'll talk to them about a one piece drive shaft but i still think going for a 2 piece will happen.

    purple5ive you sound like you've had trouble. This is like going to be the easiest conversion ever. Its like bolting on the factory gearbox, it IS bolting on the factory box etc. Should have no hassles. And the electric side is a piece of poo, just join the neutral switch together. Its that easy, the harder part comes into when doing the cruise control but that shouldnt be sooo difficult.

    On a lighter side i bought a W58, brake and clutch pedal's, g-box x-member, master cylinder for $600 today. It came with a clutch but it looks fucked so i'll just get a new one. It also came with a slave cylinder but some idiot decided to belt it off with a hammer so the cast mounts are fubar.

    Catch ya later

    Yeah man I got the wrong clutch when I bought the gearbox well it actually came with the gearbox so I figured it would be the right one but the flywheel for the n/a ma70 is bigger than the ig-gte engine so I had a clutch that was bigger than the flywheel , hahahahahahah so had to get a new one a nice hot pink daikin h/d item

    Fyi there som dude selling h/d clutch kits fr the gz20 soarer in Melbourne on ebay for 200 or so look em up
    I haven’t had any major problems though just the clutch one but I wouldn’t call that a problem , more like my fault for getting the wrong clutch , otherwise everything in the conversion is going well mechanic said everything bolted into place no probs , he said the only thing i fucked up was with the clutch , and I didn’t get bellhousing bolts ,lolllllllllllllll

    Btw my tailshaft is a 2.5 inch thick walled one with competition uni’s has little nippes to grease them wooooooooooooootttttttttttttt

    lol its good to hear its going well for ya purple5ive. Yeah i have been looking at those clutchs on ebay, seems good to me plus the dude is like 20 mins from where i live so i'll probably just go check his shit out.

    Still need flywheel, and shifter surround plus every little bolt that makes it go together

    If you need a tailshaft resized here in Adelaide have a chat to Leitchfield - theyre a part of Cobra Cams - I considered it for a conversion for my 260c - Leitchfield himself is a cool guy and hes not overly expensive.....
