The carbon fiber driveshaft of the 350Z? I was trying to do some searching to find my answer, but there doesn't seem to be any concrete answers on any forums in regards to this questions. Anyone know?

 

My understanding is no, we don't have that.

Definitely not. That is part of the reason for the difference in rwhp between the stock Z and stock G with 6mt even though they use the same basic engine and tranny. Maybe there is a tickle of difference in tune settings too, since they rate the Z at 287 and the G at 280 in the literature.

 

I'm pretty sure the difference in crank HP is alleviated with the Z-tube. I'm not exactly sure what the difference in driveshaft would do for drivetrain loss, however. Also, i've been hearing rumors of the G35 sedan and coupe putting out the same power to the wheels on dynos consistently... any truth to that?
