Zfan1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Congrats on the 9 second pass, what headers are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Chromoly CV axles....what portion is chromoly, the shafts, the CVs...where did you get them? What portion failed? Any pictures of the broken parts? Do you manually hit the spray or do you use a window switch of some kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaty69Maro Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 ZFan1: Johns Cars shorty headers RebekahsZ: The shafts are made out of Chromoly. There are some small grooves towards the end of the shaft (in the splined part) for the snap ring to sit in. It snapped clean where the groove was machined in. It is a great kit, but won't hold a nitrous launch. But has held multiple 1.45-1.52 60 foot times. My nitrous kit is a $400 kit from Nitrous Outlet. I manually press the button when I want to spray, very simple kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. That is good to know where your axles snapped. The M2 shortened shafts lack that groove (I'm no expert on metalurgy to know anything about the alloys), so perhaps that will give me a little more strength (?). My (future) nitrous package will have a window switch and a progressive controller specifically purposed to protect the axles. My plan is to leave the line at 3000 on the 2-step, spray comes up progessively starting at some rpm, perhaps 4500 to redline. Redline will be determined by cam/springs. I'll be selecting a cam that sacrifices some torque at the slow end for gains at the top end. Having a manual trans, I'll need to automate things instead of running a manual switch. The cost of the controllers will significantly jack up the cost of the system. Once car is off jackstands I'm going to start rat-holing cash until I have $2000 in order to do the cam and spray all at the same time to save a $500 dyno/tuning session. Thanks for sharing so much-a rising tide lifts all boats. Edited March 12, 2013 by RebekahsZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfan1 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Kevin, Nice talking to you yesterday. I'll look into that kit your looking at and give you what info I can put together asap. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 First, congrats on the 9 second pass!! On another note, Does anyone have experience with this kit? https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/280z/complete-r200-r230-rear-end-conversion-z-car If I plan on going any faster, this will have to be the next upgrade. My Chromoly CVs are nice but as one of the previous posters said, the Stub axles are the next to go. I am running the TTT rear end kit with a 2.94 geared R230 diff behind a 2JZ TH400 combo. I have yet to break anything in the kit cutting 1.3x 60's. That being said, I also launch off the footbrake, preloading the drivetrain. It is shock that kills the IRS parts and not so much the power. The parts are top notch and definately heavy duty. I will definately be putting them to the test with the new build ... ... but thats for another thread... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler031734 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Got your PM. That TH350 shifts. Pretty sweet. TH350 on an LS? Why not the 4L60e? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfan1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Swapping a 4L80E as we speak, going to pick it up next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
