I had friends in the Navy who told me stories of going to Australia and that at the end of the pier would be bulletin boards full of pictures of Australia women wanting to hook-up with American sailors.

Custom building a single piece with an outboard slip is no problem. Aluminum slip style is a problem. First of all we would not rivet a steel stub into aluminum tubing, this seems kind of hokey. Secondly we do not consider the steel stub to be capable of handling the torque. We are sure the...
If it wasn't for IJ there never would have been a Shaftmasters two-piece design. IJ, is it true that the women in Australia outnumber the men two to one?

2 piece shafts are $625. $100 of which is a core charge, refunded upon receipt of your old front section. We pay UPS Ground to the continental US. You pay for return shipping of core. You can order 1 right here...
Jay,
I was thinking that if you hadn't let IJ talk you out of the one-piece aluminum shaft maybe you'd be squawking the tires in fourth gear also!

Jay,
Be careful down there in Alabama driving 125 mph. I keep getting this image in my mind of Jackie Gleason walking up to your Supra after pulling you over and saying "you're in a heap of trouble boy"!

Hi this is Robert from Shaftmasters, which is a company located in Lincoln Park,Mi. that manufactures and repairs driveshafts. We recently have developed and have been selling some of our driveshafts for the MKIII on Supramania. We hope that eventually we can develope a replacement shaft for the...
Jay,
Your shafts are done and waiting for UPS to pick them up. When I was finished balancing them they were running "DEAD NUTS". Your Supra should now "run like a Cadillac or should I say a Lexus". LOL.
Robert
This shaft will be able to handle the power that your original 2 piece can handle. Unfortunately because of clearance issues there is really no way to step up the ujoints to a larger size. It will eliminate the problems associated with the rubber element rear section of the original. Do you know...
I am looking forward to what we hope to be a long lasting relationship with the Supra community. IJ, any help that you, Jay, Jdub, Piratetip and anyone else could provide in helping us get vendor status would be greatly appreciated. WE have PM'd Rein Maker recently about this and have not...
We want Jay to be totally honest in his assessment because we only want to sell a product that pleases everyone who buys it. We still are hesitant about it's long term viability because of the core issue. We have had core return problems with other driveshaft lines.Even with the core charge we...
J,
It would be all IJ's fault if something goes wrong, he talked you into the two-piece. I wonder if Australia would extradite him to the U.S. to stand trial.
Thanks for the kind words jdub. Suprahero has taken us up on our two-piece design. He says that he currently has alot of vibration going on and isn't sure how much he can attribute to the driveshaft. Hopefully our shafts will help his vibration issues. I am sure he will post his results once he...
Rodel,
I witnessed plenty in the time that I spent in Japan. I could write a book based on my experiences there. I'm lucky that I didn't come home in the cargo hold of a C-141 inside a pine box. Back then I was the proto type for Charles Bronson's long running role in Death Wish...
Before we ship-out Suprahero's shaft we will take a photo of it and post it on our store. By the way, this will be the last of the free or discounted shafts that we will be providing. We haven't minded the costs while we were proving ourselves to the Supra community but we feel it is time to...
We currently have two Supra cores. A manual from Piratetip and a auto from jdub. We made a aluminum rear with the hope that it would run well with the OEM front shaft without rebalancing the set. We tested this hope with Piratetip and jdub's front shafts and were not satisfied with the test. In...
