well considering you are coming from the H22 CRX world, you're a baller.

Where are we getting this info on the axles breaking with a 2 step, or more than 400ft/lbs with slicks and a clutch drop? Has anyone here broke a axle, or should i say a axle in good condition? From what i've read the axles are pretty much industructible, thus the reason we don't see "stronger" aftermarket ones availible here or even out of japan. I once read that the JUN Silvia Drag car still ran on stock axles, and that thing runs like 7's...

Exactly Redline...no personal experience, guess I'll have to find out for myself. Just wanted to hear something real, and Klatt doesn't have it so he tries to be smart and just looks like an ***. I need to break it down for him so he can shut his yap. Yeah I did have a Crx with a H22 in it, but that was over 2 years ago, and there were VERY few people running that at the time because there were no motor mounts available, and you had to wire 3 cars into 1, and everything was custom. In which I did all of these. Before that car I had a 68 Camaro (nothing sweet), and currently I race (not a street car) a 70 Maverick that runs 9.50's on meth (I'll get you a time slip with me flipping you off if you need). Oh, and for the baller comment, I'm far from that. I'm a mechanic at my dad's shop, I make around 8.50/hr, with usually around 50 hrs. a week, so add overtime. I wouldn't consider that a baller would you? So now you can stop opening your mouth and making yourself look like a retard. I asked a legit question, and you have no experience so why did you answer? Seems to me your one of those Drug store racers. You know the ones who go to the drug store and read the mags, then go out and tell people how fast your going to be and tell people what to do to make their car fast like yours will be. If you can't give good info don't answer or you will look like the way you look now on this thread

if you read everything closely, we are agreeing with what you said. the axles on our cars are good.

[SloS13]

HELL YEAH MAN! way to go. Im glad at least one of us got into the 12's before year's end.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SHIEF]

Yeah Redline gave an actual answer to my question, not some smart-*** comment. That's what I was looking for the whole time Klatt, that was all, thanks.

Dude, please re-read the whole thread chronologically AGAIN. Structure, HolyShiznit and I all told you that the axles are not going to snap as easily as Hondas do. You kept on asking it redundantly even though we already answered your question.Quit dominating this thread with your lack of knowledge about the 240sx drivetrain. How does saying "well, 9 second JUN Silvias use it" answer the question? It doesnt. It gives an example but is not specific. Its like me telling you to use a part on your car and then you ask why and I say, "well because the JUN Silvia uses it." The JUN Silvia drivetrain is nowhere near stock.http://www.junauto.co.jp/democ...ml?enUse your 2-step all you want with alot of stress off the line and plan on being a 240sx drivetrain collector. You are used to hearing about Honda cars breaking drivetrain components all the time because its inherent in their design (different platform, etc.)And seriously, I could care less about all of your personal experiences. I know alot of mechanics that know how to do things, but dont know why. There's alot of them that are capable of diagnosing simple problems but cannot tackle the dynamics of tuning a motor persay or having knowledge of the aftermarket world.Take it or leave it.

[95_240sx]

You are almost guaranteed to break transmissions with using a 2step and slicks. I have been launching on 2-steps for a couple seasons now, and albeit not as much this year as the year before, but I am on my 3rd transmission and my 2nd diff. The 1st diff basically came apart because the phantom grip fell apart and cobbled up the rear end...at the end of the track. I have NEVER had any axle problems nor have I ever heard of people breaking them, they are hell-for-stout, however the trannys are not. I would suggest using a line-loc and a 2-step in conjunctions and slightly slipping out the clutch just so much to take up the slack in the drivetrain. The slack and freeplay in the drivetrain is usually what breaks stuff, especially when its taken up extremely fast with lots of power behind it.

Klatt, just stop typing. That will solve the problem, and it'll get this thread back on topic.

Rick, thanks for the USEFUL info

You are like my pesky lil brother that keeps retaliating. You got it "off topic" in the first place considering this post is about Structure's 12 sec time slips only. I posted before you in this thread congratulating Structure since I've been helping him out lately working towards his goals and he's done an awesome job of it.If you want more info about the drivetrain capabilities on our cars, start your own thread or search or please feel free to email me or Rick about this. Yes we are both friends and are knowledgeable about the 240sx's and KA24DE's specifically.

[SloS13]

Why don't you guys just get a room. Its obvious there is too much sexual tension in this thread.

jk, dont kill me

[klattr1]

LOL.

[95_240sx]

Yea damnit ryan, keep it in your pants!

Seriously though sheif, you DID get this off topic so dont start bitching about it. Also, Ryan and I are very good friends as we own http://www.ka-t.org together, youre more than welcome to come on there and post up questions about axles and such.

so is this why we talked for so long on the phone, ryan? thank god you're hundreds of miles away

[klattr1]

LMAO,its ok, i got a girlfriend.

[SHIEF]

Yeah I did get it off-topic and I said that after I told Structure nice numbers. Didn't think it would turn into a pissy match with Klatt, otherwise I would've made a thread about it. That's why I was trying to get it back on topic, because of that. I don't think I'll be emailing you Klatt for anything because I don't want to run in circles with you. Rick on the other hand, thanks for the info, and I'm sure I'll have a few questions for you.

wow, i am so disappointed. Move on you stubborn mechanic.(I am giving you the JDM finger just like your signature)

Well good luck trying to get me to respond. As far as I am concerned you can go fly a kite honda boy.

Hey now, don't go picking on me!

I checked your link, and it doesn't say anything about aftermarket axles...i don't give a rats *** what aftermarket parts the JUN silvia uses, but if it indeed uses stock axles(you've yet to prove otherwise) then its goes to show how strong they are! No one expects a stock drivetrain to hold up to 8sec passes, i was only refering to the axles...rick backed that up further...

exactly. i am not dissing you, i am agreeing with you but i was trying to make a point to Shief that its the transmission and rear end that are gonna go before the axles. he took your post as the "ultimate answer" to his question but yet failed to realize we previously posted 3 times that the axles are fine and the transmission or rear end will go first with 2-step and slicks. why do u think JUN replaced all those components?

I'm glad we agree...maybe from here we can discuss alternatives for both transmission and rear ends....

[SHIEF]

Well Rick....**** you. I'm far from a Honda boy and not some teenage punk. I never said that Redline had the answer with the JUN stuff, Klatt. But it was a hell of alot better than the smart *** comment I got from you. Hopefully a mod will come in and get rid of this useless crap. Sorry I don't pretend to know it all, so I ask. I never got a solid answer till Rick (and if you read up you dumbasses will see). Oh hey Klatt, when you build a 9 second car (import or domestic) let us all know so you can prove us wrong and that you do know it all. Since I'm a dumbass/Honda boy and it's easy to do apparently. Don't forget to bring Ricky boy along for the ride as well

Well when you run 9's you can have that oh so cool saying also. I don't get on freshalloy, so I don't think it's me sorry. Actually you and Ricky are the only 2 I've ever had probs with on this site. I gues I'm just not hard *** behind the keyboard like you.

[klattr1]

its prolly your dads car.honestly, making $8.50/hr as a mechanic is not really that much to brag about. I know plenty of mechanics that are 21-23, certified making $11/hr.

Shief. You lose. You lost here, and you lost in the GM ecu thread. Nobody likes you. Now stop detracting from this man's 12 second pass.Structure - Awesome run.-Jeff

[95_240sx]

Very nice thread we have going on here.

Grats by the way Structure, if you are interested in buying a set of slicks that will fit your car better let me know, I have mine for sale and they have about 12 passes on them.

Rick

[USsil80]

hey .. first of all nice run structure very well done... second is there a good list of what all you have done to your car... last95_240 what slicks do you find fit the 240 the best... i have a s13 that is going to be over 400hp for the spring race season and am going to be running up and down the east cost following ndra racing season... need traction to win money... thanks again good run structure

It's not my dad's car. He has his own, as does my brother. A mechanic isn't my only job either. I wasn't bragging at all if you can read. You said I was a "baller", just showed you I wasn't balling that's all. Jeff, I read what I typed in the ecu thread the other drunkin night. Forgot I even said anything on that. I was off-point, and I'll go back and say that, no biggy, sorry.

[USsil80]

i'll brag i am a mason apprintace and go to school and make $14 an hour... heheheh
