Great info, I will contact Z1 at ZdayZ and get updates for us Auto guys. This mod with the gears would be nice for a DD.

Black betty: there isnt any more vibration or harshness, only a slightly louder hum when decelerating in 2nd gear is the only time i ever hear it
That's it? No noise or high speed vibration? Just a 2nd gear deceleration hum. How loud is it?

My thoughts exactly. I'll be getting a decent relocation bonus from my work in the not too distant future and was considering those two mods. Figured they would be the best "bang for your buck" mods in terms of freeing up horsepower.

@ black betty: its hardly noticeable. The one thing i loved about the g is that there were never any noises when driving. Adding this barely added any noise. You know how when a honda or toyota goes in reverse you get that whining hum? I would say this is about half as loud as that. Barely noticeable, but compared to the stock quietness you will hear it. Its only in 2nd gear crawling/ deceleration too. I have only had my car up to 85 and there were never any other noises or vibrations period. Sorry i havent gotten to a track to do any high speeds. Cops are out like crazy where i live

Thanks for the info. I expect a report very soon on what it's like at speeds > 130, on a track of course. Do it. Do it! DO IT!!!

Nice! Thanks for the reassurance. This will go on my "list" of things to get.

^^-- even if the numbers are high for a g35 all ghe runs where done on the same dyno meaning if he gained 15 hp on this dyno he will also gain 15 hp on another dyno

^^not this again. Dyno numbers are relative and subjective. They're not real numbers because of the variability of the machines. GET_SOME is looking at it the right way and that is by the gain. Take dyno numbers with a grain of salt. One car on two different dynos will yield different numbers but the gains should theoretically be the same. GET_SOME was applying logic. I see the lack of logic elsewhere.

Sorry didn't mean to thread jack. Anyway...yeah lightweight driveshaft=WIN!

There was a group buy for this but it failed when z1 said they would only give 25 off. I'm still down for this if anyone wants to start that old thread up again. Contact NeverBoneStock he was the guy handling the group buy

none (Drive shafts) will be available for the Sedans especially AWD. Since Z1 doesn't have any G37x models to play with so they can create and test rightfully.

Ok 3 questions? How much is it and when will the auto one be available? Also is it ok to replace this in a stock engine? Somebody needs to post a DIY for this after they get it...
