Aluminum driveline.

You know you want one.

But where to get one, and the potential side effects, if any.

Never would have crossed my mind, but everytime my friend IMs me and we get into car talk he brings it up and how much he loves the one on his 86 300Zx.

Discuss.

Are you sure the stocker isn't aluminum? I don't know personally but you never know.

The driveshaft is not aluminium.

Ask and ye shall receive

I was thinking about carbon fiber drive and half shafts. Is a group buy in the future??

Hope this helps.

Hm sounds hard to damage, but would it be hard to damage?

I found a place in town that will custom make aluminum drivelines. I'll get more info later.

edit:
I don't know if I can trust a company that makes a claim like this:
"The most Technically Advanced Rotors available. These Rotors undergo a special deep Cryogenics Process. This process actually alters the composition of the metal at the molecular level. Resulting in higher resistance to heat warpage, cracking, greater brake co-efficiency and longer Rotor life...Great for Public Service and Law Enforcement Organizations."

Doesn't carbon fiber wear out over time? I have heard it develops microfractures from normal wear and needs to be replaced....

You do realize that cryo-treating almost any metal offers so much more strength than most other things right? It's a hell of a lot better than slotted or drilled rotors that for sure.
