Default DriveShaft Snapped...WTF?!
Soo...was getting on the interstate and downshifted and once i rev matched I hear a loud noise than it just sounds likes my diff or something is dragging *** in the back. I pull over on the shoulder and look under my car and my driveshaft is snapped into two pieces....the actual carbon shaft snapped near the diff. end.....wtf?! I brought it to my moms work at Rainbow Suzuki. Didn't feal like dealing with Ray Brandt Nissan and their ******** about well your car is low so blah blah blah *** U! So hopefully it is covered under my extended warranty because Im sure they aint cheap.

That is odd. Never heard of one breaking, much less in an NA Z. Warranty should cover it.

Sure does. I have bought parts from Slidegood before, good company. That is actually the one I was looking for, I saw it in his part store a couple of weeks ago.
