AE86 Carbon Fiber Drive Shafts (4 models now available)
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2013 6:13 pm
AE86 one piece carbon fiber drive shafts for sale exclusively made for me by PST.
Lighter then steel or aluminum, three times the torsional strength of the OEM steel shafts, torsional spring rate of carbon fiber allows for better tire hook up due to the different pinion angle of a one piece shaft resulting in more traction, smoother drivetrain feel and shifting while providing less shock on your diff resulting in less tranny and diff breakage. These shafts have been balanced to 180mph and have zero high speed vibration. Road/Track enthusiasts as well as Drifters the benefits are better control out of corners and more power to the rear wheels which has been proven at the Tsukuba Circuit in Japan recently (02/05/2016) when a specially made carbon aluminum shaft along with the new EWP performance water pump kit was installed on Mr Hiroaki Oda's CBY N2 Trueno resulting in a .8 reduction in lap time and a new personal record of 58.8 down from 59.6 seconds.

Some info that drive shaft makers and sellers dont tell you is all drive shafts are not created equal and have have a max critical speed in which they can operate before becoming unstable, flexing, twisting or breaking. In the order from worse to best material to use for one piece shafts when it comes to AE86 applications or any one piece application that has a length more than 40"; steel, chrome moly, aluminum and finally carbon fiber. The AE86 uses a shaft roughly 49-50 inches long and 2.25" in diameter from factory in a 2 piece setup. Since each piece is roughly 20" long it can sustain pretty high rpms before vibration but is heavy...... the same shaft specs in a one piece steel design would have max critical rotation speed of 6900-7000 rpm before vibration, flex and and failure. Heres a customer who decided to purchase a metal one piece shaft for $350 which ultimately ended up breaking, sipping his fuel and brake lines out and slicing his exhaust in half. Don't let this happen to you by purchasing low priced metal one piece shafts.
The bigger the diameter of the shaft is the higher the max critical speed will be, for example a 4" diameter shaft at the same AE86 driveshaft length mentioned earlier can handle about 9000 rpm before it becomes unstable. Problem with that is you only have so much space under the car for the shaft to operate in and 4" will not fit. Chrome Moly's critical speed maximum is about the same as steel while aluminum provides 1000 higher rpm potential than the others. Downfall with aluminum is over time the constant heating and cooling of aluminum starts to deteriorate its strength and the shaft can fail unexpectedly. Another issue with metal shafts is damage from road stones, pot holes, speed bumps eat eat, which can throw the shaft out of balance or jeopardize its strength. Carbon fiber at 2.75" diameter, 50" long has a critical speed is 13000 rpm before it becomes unstable. Another benefit of carbon fiber is it does not transfer vibration from your rear to your transmission or vice versa like metal shafts do because the organic fiber material actually absorbs it reducing the vibration you feel in the shifter which creates makes shifting not as smooth. Carbon is also flexible and strong enough to absorb the impact of stones, potholes and other road hazards a lot better then metal shafts. With over 50 shafts sold world wide since 2005 you won't find prices for high quality carbon fiber drive shafts that have been tested and proven anywhere else. S2000, Evo, Skyline, MX5 and S15 models are currently in production and will be available soon.
Custom lengths and yokes can also be made for specific application applications using different body styles or transmissions please inquire at the email or phone number below.
