I was wrong, it wasnt the clutch!

Never experienced a failure like this before, but glad I didnt take the trans out. Luckily I have spares.... I give you........the output shaft.... Remnants I spent about 20 minutes cleaning all of this out of the diff/rear end The good output shaft that just went in.... Car seems to be driving fine. It took a 1/2 power shift as expected just moments ago :D

Hopefuklly underground motorsports chimes in... he had the same problem.

Triple plate, 2 way, mazworx axles, bf goodrich tires I belive. 1 pass and ripped the output shaft.

He has than switched to the q45 rear end which I believe uses 31 spine shafts, but don't know what much of a difference that makes comparing to your z32 rear end.

But glad it didn't take the transmission that would of been horrible. Anyways, he did a write up on FA under 240sx.

Per his write-up on FA

Quote »The 90-96 Q45 (R200) features the same beefy 6-bolt 30-spline axles, hubs, and output shafts used in the 90-96 Nissan 300ZX TT (R230).[/quote]

I've still got a clutch sponsorship on the table and Im going to swich to a 6-puck setup that will allow me to run a stock flywheel which would be alot more friendly on drivetrain parts, and help carry the car a bit easier off the line due to the added mass.....

Anyone intersted in the triple plate?

Possibly

I'm not going to push it anymore. Stock block......yeesh gives me jitters thinking about it, haha

I have seen higher HP Z's however they probably do a lot of tire spinning, not alot of guys in my range run stickies 24/7
