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. e: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...62#post9862462 AKIC link for reference

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

How about carbon fiber?
Ask and ye shall receive
http://www.pstds.com/index.cfm I was thinking about carbon fiber drive and half shafts. Is a group buy in the future?? Hope this helps. Jonathan

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."

GM Used carbon fiber driveshafts in all of their Z71 outfitted pickups. They were light as anything and Never saw one break either. A guy even had his driveshaft break at the front yoke and drop down only to lift the back of the truck up and almost flip him over doing 60mph.....still didn't break the dravshaft. I was wondering about an aluminum one peice driveshaft for myself, can we use these or no?

There's only 2 ways to find out though, one is waiting to be told one is finding out for myself. I'm hoping the place is open today.

Why do you want an aluminum driveshaft?

Well when my center bearings or my ujoints go to crap, It may be worth my while. I could get a one peice driveshaft for like 200-300 if I wanted, I was just wondering if it was plausible
