MAG58: Gentleman, Scholar.

[FlatBlack]

I traveled from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Springfield, Missouri to run at the drag strip to participate in Branson Z Fest.

 

I was one of the first cars to make a pass. I revved up to about 3,000 RPM and dumped to the clutch. I heard a loud "CLUNK" and moved about a foot. I feared my new LSD had ate it, but saw a half shaft grease cap laying in front of my car, so I new I had toasted an axle.

 

I got under the car and saw it was only a u-joint. Bob drove all the way from Indiana to come hang out with us. He drove me into town, we tracked down some U-Joints and went back to the track.

 

While heading to the parts store, I saw that the other U joint had a crack in one of the caps. With the help of Danny B's [bowtie Z] tools and trailer, Bob fully rebuilt both sides, because I had no idea what I was doing.

 

Thanks alot buddy, Flatty got back to Fayetteville just fine

Always glad to keep Datsun's moving. Next time I'll bring spares and a torque wrench.

 

Glad you didn't blow your OBX though. Now Imma have to get one.

Don't forget, Chris was running one as well

 

I had two R180 half shafts sitting at the shop from Trumpet's car [He is using my spare R200 half shafts ], I wish I would have thought to bring them.

 

Like you predicted, I figured I would have blown up my tranny or caused motor damage before snapping axles.

 

CV upgrade, engage!!
