Has anyone put a carbon-fiber driveshaft on their G35 sedan. I am looking to get more power to the ground and was thinking of lightening up the driveshaft. What do you all think about this idea??

 

It looks like a certin some one has been playing way to much GT4

 

I belive the 350z comes stock with one.

 

Nissan already equips the G35 with a composite driveshaft. The benefits of going to a carbon-fiber driveshaft would be minimal, if any, for 99.99% of owners.

There are plenty of other things to upgrade first....

 

Anyone of heard or know anyone that has broken there drive shaft on a G or Z ?

Beautiful work There's your 0.01% right there.

 

It doesn't say that in the specifications on their web site.

 

Yep..love that game too.

 

Maybe I'm wrong, it was all wishful thinking

 

I was trying to find an old thread were some guys were discussing this, IIRC it was a coupe midpipe thread...

When I installed my exhaust and midpipe I tapped on the driveshaft and it felt like some sort of fiberglass composite (no doubt with something reinforcing it underneath).

Anyone want to volunteer to go underneath their G and check?

 

According to the link that someone post to the 350z forum, the 350z has a composite with steel reinforcement driveshaft.

Also someone on that forum was proposing on make carbon-fiber driveshafts for the G35 and 350Z. I know the sedan has probably a longer driveshaft since they are longer than the coupes.

 

From what I understand the G doesn't come with carbon fiber drive shaft. I know someone from the 350Z forum who actually sherdded his drive shaft. He had TT on it and I think the strain on the shaft was to great that's why it fell apart. Thought I'd share this matter with everyone.

 

Ah... that must be what the sedan has... at least the 05+...

I did the same as woshiagni when I had my car on the lift while I was changing out the springs... it def didn't feel like steel...

 

The G-35 Coupe & sedan have a two piece steel drive shaft.
