The Drive Shaft Shop (N.Y.) has developed new 1/2 axles for the 350z and they work! I used my new set last week end and they held together with 60ft times between 1.48 & 1.54. (8 runs in the 1/8th.

 

nice, how much and what level did you get?

 

Care to share some info on your setup? Those 60fts are astounding.

 

Not sure what level I got, (we never discussed levels). Frank (the owner) just stated that it should handle between 550 & 650 RWHP! It's not the level that bluefish (New York) had them make. The price is around $750 after you send them your 1/2 axles.

 

Rebuilt engine: pistons,rods,Tomei 268 cams,head work,all the bolt ons, and aproximately a 200 shot of n2o.

Suspension: Koni shocks,Eibach springs,MT 15" slicks, 15" skinnies on the front.

Drivetrain: UR Pulley, JWT Flywheel & Clutch, and my 4th 3rd gear synchronizer in a stock 6 speed transmission.

ECU: TS flash and Greddy eManage to adjust fuel & timing.

 

How many psi in the MT's? ET Streets or Drags? Rim screws? What rpm do you launch at? Any idea what your car weighs in at?

 

The last 60 ft times I mentioned above were on MT Slicks @ 14 psi. I also have a set of 16" Weld Prostars with ET Steets that I've pulled 1.60's in but was breaking 1/2 axles when going to low in psi. Now that I have the new 1/2 axles I'm pretty sure the ET Streets could come close to the Slicks.( I was 8 psi on the ET's when I broke the axles)

Launch: 6000 rpms

Weight: No weight reduction. Matter of fact I'm heavier than a stock Track Model because of my Roll Cage ( about 80lbs) and a Scatter Shield around the transmission/flywheel ( about 40lbs).

Rim Screws ???

 

Great 60fts ! Do you jave any more info on this shop? Number/Contact person/Website? thanks

Telephone # is on the website and the person to talk to is Frank.

 

Thanks...

 

So what are you running in the 1/8 mile with your current set-up and those disgustingly awesome 60ft times??

 

7.03 to 7.11 on 5 runs: Burnt three plugs every run,replaced, then burnt them again the next run. I finally burnt an exhaust valve on cylinder #2 and in process of replacing. I'm having challenges with the eManage needless to say!

 

Damn thats crazy. Is your N20 progressive? What was your 1/8 trap? What do you dyno n/a on the spray? Sorry for all the questions I just havent seen anybody with a built motor run N20 most of the guys do FI...

 

Dynojet #'s= 474 rwhp/491 torque spray
296 rwhp/261 torque n/a

Above #'s are done with 19's all around and then I switch to light weight 15's for the strip. N2o is not progressive, I come off the line using it all. I think with the right suspension and tires you can handle it. I'm thinking about a second stage for 3rd & 4th once I get a handle on my existing problem ( burning plugs even though a/f @ 10.8)
