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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
