why would you want to replace the stock carbon fiber drive shaft with an aluminum one? the g35 drive shafts have an articulating knuckle in them, this is prob just to get rid of that and have a solid one. dont forget that the G's are also longer

Carbon fiber composite stock is excellent and can handle arguably as much or more power. Don't waste time and money on that.

There's a reason why DSS never went into production with a 1 piece aluminum for the G35. The ebayer sells knows the reason and even sent it back to DSS for that problem.

Feel bad for whoever buys that...

I have an aluminum DS on my 5at and it's pretty awesome..it's not made by this company, I have not a single issue. G35 of course. The original purchaser of this unit complained of it's balancing issues so this DS is probably defective

That's for a G35. Nobody in their right mind would make one for a Z which already has a WAY lighter CF drive shaft OEM.
