[hunka13]

hi i just called the local driveline place to get one made and they said its got a good chance of vibrating does anyone have one or know about this? thanks

Yea, I had a local welding shop make me a one piece steel. It vibrates bad at 65 and up. It was balanced too, but I do not think it was balanced for those higher rpms. Good luck.

Pcs? If you want a 1 piece driveshaft go to shaftmasters.com. They're high quality and well balanced. I've been using mine for over a year and haven't had a single problem with it.

I know that driftmotion has one I am not sure how good they are though. Anyone try those?

Oddly enough, my brothers 1jz car doesn't get vibrations at 180+ with his 1 piece steel (i am talking km/h and i hope you are as well)

Not likely when he is from the States. lol

lol, its MPH

lol, its MPH

Umm, that's not really funny, considering 1, the speedo isn't accurate, 2 that is unnecessarily dangerous in a 20+ year old car.

My speedo doesnt work , and mine is a 20 year old car with parts less than 1 year old

I didnt pay big money to not do some "spirited" driving on a closed course . I do understand your concerns

Was every single part of your chassis in terms of bushings and links replaced as well?
I will go ahead and say no.

dont be a damn nazi... if he wants to take his car to 150+ MPH then let him...
if something is gonna just fall of and break it would probably happen at 80-100 anyways...

driftmotion uses jawsgear last time i checked, and i got a steel one which i'll never buy again. it was garbage... i'd get aluminum this time, and make sure that i got it from shaftmasters... and if your worried about vibration then get the 2pc driveshaft from the which includes a new center joint.

Thank you sir.

For sustained high speed runs go two piece

Yes, what they are referring to is the driveshaft's critical speed. Here is a thread with some good info on it.

Also if you search "Driveshaft Critical Speed" you will find a good deal of info as well as experiences with it.
