well, i have my blk top s13 running for about a month in a half now and its the first time i took it on the street since there where no cop. my travelingdistant is 2 block down and two block back.this with with no front and rear glass and unregister car.

*shifting, when i get full boost, 7psi*

first time road testing -won't rev pass 2500.........fix, loose maf connector

second...-studder under boost......fix...hot pipe pop off

third...- 1st gear under full drove fine. second gear, back end started sliding.

fourth...- same as third but got onto third gear and car still sliding.

fifth...-got onto second gear and all 4 driveshaft bolts snap off.

thats not cool, well atleast it happen now instead of later when i do get it register. oh yeah, these where 8.8 graded bolt, which i got it from work. now im going to get the factory bolts soon.

mods- s13 blktop, basic upgrade, act 6 puck, DSS steel driveshaft, but still got open diff

If you over torqued the driveshaft bolts that could of caused them to break. if theyre old that might have too.

grade 8.8 metric bolts is the same as grade 5 imperial bolts. Go find yourself some grade 10.9 bolts, those are equiv to grade 8 imperial
