I know some race teams are having their axles cryo dipped(frozen) to stregnthen them and some are just replacing them with heavier ones...
hmm....well I guess what we can take from all this is that it's GOOD that the halfshafts are the first thing to go in the drivetrain as they are the cheapest and easiest to fix...if the trans or rear ends were grenading it would be a much bigger hassle.

Thumbs up FIXED IT

Ok, I went to a scrapyard and found 2 totaled Z32's. And since we use an R200V on our 350z, I took the shaft out of an N/A 300zx and fixed the head(hub side) of a TT300zx and I got the exact shaft as the OEM cost only $200

and here's a pic of my broken shaft

p.s. notice it was broken from the actual shaft, not the joint.
