i had some problems lastnite bieng a dumbass and i popped a driveshaft, 32 gtr, drivers front, its come apart from the diff side...

now i bought 1 this morning, put it in, took for a good drive , no dramas, then going for another drive, goin around corner and gassed it abit in first, same same, again came apart diff side,

then put new one again, then also, gassed it in second, going in a atraight line...... and it popped aswell...

wtf??

the only thing i havent checked is the engine mounts, they feel good in the car, but if they were rooted, would this cause the motor to twist and lift causing the cv to spread open and come apart???????

ive ordered new nismo engine and box mounts, will this fix it...

I have a gts-4 r32 running rear wheel drive.. and after a little wear on the rear tires 4wd system kicked in and snapped the front right innner CV so i replaced it and the power steering line that it fractured and two/three weeks later while the 4wd system was deactivated; went over a big bump in my drive way and poped out the front right inner CV again... do u have any ideas on what could be causing it?

p.s my car is lowered with JIC coilovers but it isn't that low

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
