I bought one assembly from Nissan and also DSS sent them with my level 5s but I think they are OEM nissan parts as well. (I didn't know DSS was sending them so i bought a set from Nissan first.)


It is the whole assembly(39626?) it comes with the cage and bearings, it has been awhile I can't recall if it came with the part that slides on the axle splines as well but I think it did.

The Level 5s are a great set of axles - that is what we use in our green 8-second 350Z. On my personal 350z, I did just what you said and went straight to Pro axles so I did not have to reuse any factory parts.

 

^how about running a deal on those pro axles for us guys that really run our cars

 

Group buy

 

I'm going straight to the pros because of the level of shock I put on them with my 6-speed and twin carbon clutch. No bag on the strength of the level 5s. I'm sure they are fine for an auto drag car, but the inherent shock of launching and shifting in my car (even preloading the drivetrain) means I want the strongest available. Plus I'm on a DR....even more stress.

 

I was thinking the same thing....much easier to pre-load the drivetrain with the auto so not nearly as abusive to driveline.

I agree with ya Brian

well on the auto's i'd think if you have a really good t/c you would be more likely to break, from the torque multiplier? Im guessin on the stock t/c you get a lot more slippage that gets transfered to heat/clutch pack damage.... but I haven't driven a high stall Z (or one with slicks for that matter).
I know some th400 guys around here that break axels day and night (domestics on the strip to be specific)

 

Shock will break them long before torque will. I could have driven around on the street FOREVER on my Level 2s and not worried about breaking them. The shock of launching on a sticky tire with a clutch that doesn't slip any appreciable amount puts the most stress on drivetrain components.

 

I got a pm from Ryan at injected and he said he is looking into a group discount for the dss pro axles

 

I'm so f-ing in...let me know!

 

yup, put me on that list as well..

 

I'll call Ryan on Monday to see what he says. See if you guys can round anyone else up

 

well yes this is what i was trying to say, good torque converter + better clutch packs + valve body + torque multiplier = huge instantaneous torque. This is what breaks cars.
I guess I still haven't mastered the "art" of articulation over the internet
anyway all that matters is you throwing down a 10 second pass!
