JoeinCA Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 ...you slide into a curb at 30 mph? http://joezcar.freewebspace.com/custom.html Thats a picture of my old halfshaft, taken by Eric Neyerlin of Zparts. I was wondering if anyone else has blown a halfshaft like that around here... thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Isn't that a driveshaft, not a half shaft? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 nope, R180 halfshaft. the "clean" metal on the left is the part that is bolted into the side of the rear end. it does kind look like a driveshaft, but i dont think driveshafts were filled with grease. and i am very sure this is a halfshaft, i was the one that broke it. , Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Joe, pay attention: a half shaft for a better description is about half as long as a drive shaft and therefore when one is bolted in the side of the differential on either side it is shorter than the single drive shaft or half a shaft. Joe: just hang in there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Tomahawk: i fail to see why your description of a halfshaft is directed at me. Thanks for the support though RPMS: yeah, i kinda figured it out too, (but i've been trying to get it to forgive me for a long long time.)

Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 LoL. Joe..I am not sure of my point but...now I see what happens when you spend the afternoon laying up fiberglass like I just did...VR John Washington is not kidding about brain damage inhaling those fumes. I take everything Tim 240 Z says as gospel and if he says your half shaft is a drive shaft well..........it is...I will just have to stay off the keyboard after the fiberglassing high...is this stuff a legal substance.Yeah put a chain on that Z you will wake up one morning and find it ran away from home.

JoeinCA Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 LOL, I understand completely... i got all sorts of goofy when i forgot to put my respirator on after mixing up my primer in a tent... and then i sprayed a full thick coat of primer with no respirator.... heh, better than drinking, but the headache is just as bad....

JoeinCA Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Heh, i dont use chains to keep them z's in-line...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Hey Joe.. That looks like some parts that fell off my ol silver Z a few years back after I restored it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
