So I assume you will be selling a pieced together "kit" for those of us having problems snagging a good STi R180?

 

I'm under the impression that this will be a complete new output shaft with mating flange this time. I hope I'm right, cause I'm having trouble finding a pair of STI axles and the few I did find cost toooo damn much.

If you go back to the first post in this thread:

 

The flange end of the these side shafts will bolt up to the stock 240Z halfshafts.

 

And the $500 is still a guestimate.

I re-read the original post and that clears things up, a lot. I must have got your web page mixed up with this item (http://www.betamotorsports.com/products/products.php?cat=11).

 

$500.00 is worth it to me to finish this conversion. We were on the track (Buttonwillow) this weekend. Could feel the inside tire spinning coming out of the hairpins (both east and west).

John, what are your thoughts on how much torque/HP is safe to put through an R180 with stock 240z half shafts that is NOT used for drag racing? In other words, the launches will all be reasonable (no drop clutch at redline, etc) and the car is driven on the street and/or road course? Assume it has a CLSD if that makes a difference.

I pick up the prototype parts tonight. We used good material, the splines carburized out to 46 Rockwell. Hopefully they fit. After I screwed up the drawing on the first set I'm worried about all the other dimensions - even after triple checking everything.
