Hello,
After some chatter on HybridZ about my axles back in Feb (link below), I figured it was time to start a formal thread in the vendor section.
I'm a long-time 510 and 280z owner. I also recently picked up a '76 620.
In a nutshell, Datsun Restomods started after my 510 U-Joints died last summer. I sought to develop a CV axle that would be affordable, simple, and as reliable as a daily driver.
After a lot of R&D I came up with two versions of CV axles:
100% stock swap. These axles replace OEM units and have enough travel to handle stock, and +1 differential up-sizing. Only 4 stock Nissan shoulder bolts per side to mount.
R180 integrated stubs. This is slick setup that has integrated Subaru STI-compatible R180 stubs on the inner housing, so only 4 bolts per axle (outer/hub side) required to mount. With STI diffs coming down in price, this is a popular option.
Torque rating in the initial thread below was originally 225 ft/lbs but I've recently upgraded it to 250 ft/lbs after many RB25DET/KA-T/SR20DET installs have proven their durability. I have sold well over 50 setups all over the world and am now comfortable spreading the word on this forum.
These axles are designed for a typical daily/street/canyon carver setup. They are NOT ideal for drastically lowered, heavily raced, or mega HP cars - there are other options on the market that are designed to fill those needs.
The entire axle is 100% new, including the CNC'd flanges & R180 stubs. I source the highest quality axles I can find. Strength has been engineered to exceed OEM axle stub shear strength.
