Carbon Front Driveshaft
#1
Posted 11 April 2017 - 11:59 AM

Was just scrolling through the willall billet diff thread and came across a post by jimefan suggesting the dss was working on a carbon front driveshaft. http://www.gtrherita...-housing/page-5
Any movement there?
Another gem in there was a post from dv8 asking if Martin was planning on alu subframes. :-)

POPULAR
One thing to keep in mind is its not just aimed at decreasing weight. Frank of DSS went pretty in depth with this response:
"i figured i would post this info, most are not aware of the true value of Carbon thinking it being light is its only benefit. its a little long but a good read for any car with a Carbon shaft. material and Harmonics

Super curious how much weight they get out of it.
I've had to take the front driveshaft out before... that thing is heavy!

It seems T1 already have the entire first batch called for. DSS also said they are still under testing and will take a while to be publicly available. They might send some units to high end 6s GTRs (AMS/ETS) but nothing to the general public for few months.
