It would have been nice to get a little further down the track, it unfortunately just looked like you stalled the car off the launch lol. GL in the future.

I have another diff going in and we'll be back at the track this week

Maybe launching a bit lower on the 2step.

Coach, we launched at about 5700rpm on the above vid.

That's good that the trans held up for now..

Good luck this weekend!

Interesting that you broke the diff as Nissan diffs are generally considered to be inordinately strong. I was really hoping it would be the engagement tooth ring on 5th gear because there is an off the shelf stronger part available (not of course wishing you a more difficult or expensive repair).

Chris@SP - I sent you a PM as well.

thats sweet, but sucks at the same time. Crazy that the dif went out as Neal said, thats wat most S2K drivers run. Can't wait to see it finally hook and roll.

It sounded like something popping and crackling and then the rear end squatted. I'm assuming it broke shortly after the rear end squatted.

What was the popping sound?

We found out the axle hub popped a c-clip off on the launch, and pulled the hub out of the diff just enough to not be in contact with the splines. We were happy to find out this is all that happened.

Here is a pic of how it sheared the small amount of splines it was turning on lol
