All of us did.

I saw new 350Z racers start the day with 14.7 seconds. At the end they were running 14.1 seconds. 14.1 seconds is not going to win any trophies, but these guys ran and ran and improved their time by 0.60 seconds in a single day! Everyone left with a big smile on their face.

 

You learned the DSS Level5 axle is NOT bullet proof... It DOES come with a bolted steel outter CV,,, BUT the inner CV is left stock...

So while the axle itself might be able to take 1000 foot lbs of torque, your CV joint will implode at a heck of a lot lower level unless we come up with a solution.

Yep... Even the almighty ds rear-end upgrade can't help you if what bolts it all together can't take the pressure... I'm definately hoping that Altered takes the oportunity to fabricate something to address this. If they do, it'll be another first for the z/g crowd, and an instant upgrade to anyone who tracks their car. Can I put dibs on a set now???....

 

I learned that not all christmas trees are the same... which explains why I redlighted so damn much!

 

thanks again brent for setting this up....i was luckaly fighting with traction instead of regretting i had traction :-p lol but next time i will come a bit more prepared....definatley bringing better tires for the track next time...we shall see possibly slicks next time :-)

Ha ha, that was my wife. She says thanks. She got burnt to a crisp that day. It's a shame she didn't make any passes... she was scared to break my car... and look who broke it She prolly would've cut a 1.7-1.8 60'.

Had a blast on Friday... sucks I broke my ****. Turned out a pretty good best run of 13.3@103 with a 1.9 60'. Could've beat it if my car didn't break on me. Hopefully Mitsu isn't reading this so when I take her in to get checked out I don't have a red flag on warranty work.

 

problem with making it from the CNC, is the material type and the time involved of not just recreating the part, but to make sure that the part itself wont fail again.. what seems to me that the part broke clean off, which could just be the material type itself (but again, I'll have to see what what forces were really acting upon on it.. the splines on the axles look fine, but I'll look again).

It's a classic and typical case of "the weakest link" when it comes to modifying a car. I'll see if I can talk to DSS to see if they have any information that they can share with me and hope to create an axle that includes everything you need to withstand the power you are putting down.. so the next thing that should break or wearing down should be the clutch itself.
