Im not sleeved... .I use ARP head studs.. I dont know what size they are.... I dont have any issue's with the car... When i race.. i redline third , fourth and fifth!!!!! It is crazy...

 

Hey don't mean to hijack this thread but hey marluci7, hows your JWT clutch holding up to all that power? do you ever race at 40mph and does it ever slip?

 

clutch is fine... I have zero traction at 40.. I go from 60 all the time....

 

Marin who did you go with for an upgraded driveshaft?

 

My driveshaft is original.....

 

ahhhhhhhh....that is why there will be no going from a dig!

 

Why do you say that?? Performance motorsport ran their car into the low 10s on the stock 6-speed, driveshaft and rear end. All they did was run DSS axles. No one that I know of has broken the stock carbon fiber driveshaft on a 350Z.

 

1g broke his on the dyno.

 

interesting place to break a driveshaft considering there's no hard shifting and most dynos aren't load based. Was it on a load based dyno?

 

Yes and from I heard he was at 480hp at the time with a auto.

 

that sounds very weird...I would have to suspect that the driveshaft was damaged in some other way before it broke on the dyno. There are guys making A LOT more power than that and shocking the $hit out of the driveshaft with no issues at all.

 

Jeff ( 350NOW ) lost a shaft due to an rubbing of an aftermarket - JDM exaust
kit that got pushed into the driveline after his brother ran over something.

If the outer shell is scored or damaged in a small way it will come apart.
The manual say's during R/R if the driveline falls in the shop it should be replaced.

Cheers Amy -

 

Maybe 1G will have more info.

 

Yeah Scott said it must have been damaged. that thing is Carbonfiber and strong as hell.

So i think it was either a defective one or some type of damage happen to it?!?

 

Sorry...meant to say axels instead of driveshaft. Sometimes I get my axels mixed up with my driveshafts

 

ah...makes much more sense now

 

Was worried that I was going to be featured in your "QOUTE OF THE WEEK"

 

I'm guessing that you're not anywhere near 600-700whp, and/or they used either 1/2 head studs or L19 7/16 studs and added additional clamping force.

Question, are you really running Meth and 100 octane fuel?

 

Only idiots are featured there.

 

Do you ever worry that u will run out of them?
