Carbon fiber shafts for the altezza J160 tranny using the LEEN kit now available for order...hopefully soon will be finalizing carbon shafts for those running S2000 f20 engines using JSP mounts also!

GAIJIN is this the reason why u still have that j160 with leen box laying in your garage?.. waiting for the CB drive shaft LOL

Took me a while to mock up and get the correct measurements...i wasnt in a rush since my engine is not finished yet...but since im still waiting I figured i would get under there and finally get it sorted.

Pm sent!

thank you super gaijin
i just install my CB drive shaft it look beautiful and feel even better driving it.... feel pretty smooth...i really like it.....measure same length as my stock shaft... it fit nicely .... love it
thank you again

Here's mine, out of the box and awaiting installation. Bump for an awesome product and a great seller!

Nice product! I have a few questions.

What's the benefit of the aluminum yoked version? I'm assuming it's lighter weight and better corrosion resistance?

How much lighter is the 2.75" shaft with the aluminum yokes vs the steel ones.

Are they stronger/weaker than steel?

Are the steel versions painted or powder coated? Any finish to the aluminum yokes or are they bare unfinished?

At what RPM do the 2.75" carbon shafts become unstable?

Thanks,

Carthik

Do you have to run an adjustable 4-link with the carbon shaft? I'd like a carbon shaft, but keep OEM 4-link with ES bushings.


My car is only lowered about 2".

Aluminum version only comes in 3inch diameter, the purpose is to provide a bigger stronger shaft but keeping the weight the same as the 2.75 diameter shaft...finished is just the normal aluminum and rated at supporting 800hp . Steel has a black finish to them and can support 14500 rpm.

Ritz the shaft will fit but i cant predict what type of effect it would have on your car in regards to vibration due to in correct pinion angle...i wouldnt suggest it could be all that bad being off some but i do recomend adjustable 4 link .

Thanks for clearing up my questions. My car won't be making anywhere close to 800 HP . I'll be picking one of these up in the near future.

Cheers,

Carthik

Cool let me know when ur ready

I found the time to get mine in the car. Angles are obviously not yet set, will be shimming the transmission up a bit, and then adjusting the four links on the other end.

Bump for an awesome product!

Awesome see your using the stock tranny mount...is it new i have a new trd one i will sell u i actually had some custom mounts made and wont be using the TRD one...txt me if interested u have my number...

How much do these driveshafts weigh? I just searched through the thread and couldn't find an answer, I could have skipped over it accidentally. Just curious what the reduction in rotational mass will be. Stock is ~22lbs.

Yes you missed it first post second paragraph 13.8lbs total weight
