anyone make a light weight drive shaft?

This is my first RD car I get to tune up. My 73 super beetle doesn't count [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]. I liked that car but I think I pushed it more then I drove it.

Does anyone make a light weight drive shaft for the coupe? I'm guessing this will make a lot of difference. Better response, more hp to the wheel, better gas millage.

BS G35C 6spd navi/aero/prem

I was kind of wondering about this too. You might be able to get a custom one made by a shop (I found many shops online that specialize in drive shaft fabrication... Even Carbon Fiber shafts) Let us know if you find anything.. =)

The Coupe in 6MT already USES a carbon drive shaft. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Hmm. maybe you are right.. When I asked my dealer, they said yes. But I cannot confirm that. The 350Z uses it. I asked my dealer because I wanted to know the difference of the 2 cars.

i looked at my post and noticed that i may have come off as a know-it-all *****. my apologies. only the track model of the Z has the CF driveshaft. i really think that that is where the additional HP to the wheels comes from. less rotational mas, ya know.
