snapped drivers side rear drive shaft clean in half...

[StageZilla]

hey guys well yes my bad luck is continuing...

last night i took off from a set of lights, and when it came on boost in 1st it just went bang!!! and discovered the drivers side rear driveshaft is snapped clean in half :confused:

so now i need another driveshaft... just wondering if stagea have the same driveshaft length as r32/33 ? hopefully they do...

thankfully it wasnt the diff as i first thought

i would asume being in 2wd only wouldnt have helped and also 2 other passengers

anyways hopefully its fixed asap..

cya

Ouch, did it fail to proceed Brad? Or did the rear diff drive it on one wheel?

it failed to proceed, had to be towed home again.

for some reason the power was goin to the easiest wheel (broken shaft one) and i thought with active lsd it should actually goto the other wheel to help traction? maybe my active lsd isnt workin correctly either?

I wonder if the 260RS driveshafts are different to ours as well?

Sorry I couldnt comment if ther the same, however maybe seeing if the width of the car is the same as a r33 could start giving some slight indications whether its worth finding out?

driveshafts (or axels) are same as gtr as they bolt onto diff with 6 bolts and all 4wd nissans do, so 2wd is only 5 bolts. so i reckon it was just a manufacturing fault in the metal as it broke perfectly and with only rwd it should break traction on 235s rather than snap a metal driveshaft...
