None of our sponsors offer 95-98 shafts anymore so here is someone who does.

1/2 the weight rated for 650whp.

For the price difference I'm gonna go carbon, and for reference my S14 D/s weighed something like 25 lbs. when I shipped it.

No, cheaper, but not by much.

Carbon is a superior material for a driveshaft in more than one way. There is a reason why the stock Z33 uses one

Is the carbon one for KA or SR? I would like the site you found it at.

the driveshaft is alot like intake/headers/exhuast, only pulley/flywheel/driveshaft

one by itself is not a huge difference but together makes for a nice setup

not much of a difference in vibration at all, if anything you get used to it in 5 minutes. my solid metal motor and transmission mounts took me a coupel days to get used to

anthony, are you using the nismo mounts? even if youre not, im kind of curious to see how much more vibration you can feel with the solid mounts. i have some nismo mounts but am unsure whether to sell them or keep them.

im using SOLID METAL not polyurethane, groundzero mounts

i had the nismos before and they were great for a while. like rubber mounts though they do wear out and do still have some play. on luanching my transmission used to shake bad (shifter moving around alot from wheel hop). since the groundzero mounts everything stays where its suppose to be. the first day or two i thought about going back to rubber or polyurethane but im glad i didnt. just like anything else you get used to it. they dont bother me anymore

for most people though the nismos are probably the way to go

PS: i also have soild subframe bushings and differencial bushings (i didnt notice a huge difference when going to those, stock bushings were still good). the car is very solid now
