went drag racing and broke

[driftking777]

so yea i went to the drag races and broke my car i snapped my u-joint on my driveshaft again...sucky anywho...this is my times

reaction time: .113 sec
60 foot time: 2.1 sec
1/8 time: 8.8 sec
1/8 speed: 82.7 mph

hey nismo i know you ran the 1/4 mile..what were your times again?

[scottsee]

well, be thankfull. think what would/could have happend if your u-joints were strong enough to withstand your mechanical effency. what are you going to do??

[nissanfanatic]

Prolly just traction.lol Our drivetrains are pretty stout. Lots of 500whp cars running on stock drivetrain. Just not a good idea to dump the clutch.

Well that def sucks. Good luck getting it fixed.

Get a driveshaft from www.lsauto.com

thinking about getting an aluminum driveshaft from enjuku racing...i heard there stronger...as well as lighter...we'll see...the driveshaft will be fixed by the end of the week...(have to have it sent off)

here's my slip



i got you by a couple mph


people break shit all the times on our cars. lsd's, axles, trannys... they are not prepared to be dragged. lots of work must be done on them if you are consistently launching high or dumping the clutch. i refuse to run slicks on mine (dr's only..).

the run above was with street tires (crappy to say the least kumho 711). but they only costed me $200 for all four hehe.

so what your saying is im running a (well not technically saying) but i must be running around a flat 12 sec 1/4 mile time...beucause you only have my 1/8 by .3 of a second...awesome...i kinda wanted to convert it...figured i would use your time slip to do it..thank nismo...oh yea i wasnt running slicks i was running a set of very very used neo gens that look like slicks

[driftking777]

oh yea...i dont really feel like looking back up to the top but someone was wondering what the stock driveshaft can take...im guessing im running around 250whp'ish and i dont have a stock driveshaft i have a custom solid piece.

[SHIFT_KA24DE]

so ...... how much can a OEM driveshaft take?

[240SXSlideStar]

It depends, some stock KA internals can only hold 250whp because of their condition and some can hold 450whp. Just drive it until it breaks and you'll know when you driveshaft's breaking point is.
