[MyM8V8]

As James recently asked me, I have just got these in to try:

Drive Shaft shop one piece Carbon Fibre prop shaft.



DSS Aluminium two piece prop shaft



DSS 1000HP anti hop axle set.

I have three cars to keep happy! (all cheaper than the ex wives)

Em, the CF one is for the GTS, two piece for the ute. They have assured me I wont have any vibration problems over 150 with the CF one. We'll see?

All the stuff I've had from DSS up to now has been good as is their service and sensible shipping costs.

Gareth whats the cost of the anti hop drive shafts.

To be fair the MF anti-hop shaft seems to be doing the trick. Final testing to be carried out at TR....

What sort of weight is that alloy two piece ?

What diameter ?

And what sort of rating are they giving it ?

We did weigh them and off the top of my head the ali one was slightly heavier than the standard steel one but the carbon one was lighter

But we didnt weigh the slip yoke or rubber donoughts for the standard prop

My 2 piece shaft is pretty damn heavy. But to consider an alloy one...it'd need to have been damn well proven as far as strength goes.

But it would be far lighter than mine for sure.

1 piece isnt an option for me...and whilst many do work with carbon shafts, I simply dont trust them !

Yokes that are glued onto the tubes ??? just sounds wrong lol

Was that from DSS or GForce? What blighted your successes?

Dont know. The customer bought it. It vibrated at 40, 80, 120 mph. Badly. Frankly, it was rubbish. Its too long for a single piece as far as im concerned. Hopefully Gareths will be much better. But i dont hold out much hope.

[gsd2000]

If that was global-i I think he had a gforce propshaft. I know rob leyman runs a one piece dss ali propshaft and he has had no vibrations up to 175

I was apprehensive about it considering past experiences and write ups of others, but they assured me they had the latest test equipment and that the shaft was good for 10,000 rpm critical speed and 1000HP. If not it will go back.

Just under a stock 6.0l steel one(if you include spigots and doughnuts). Diameter is 85mm approx.

Cost $1099 including hardware and an adaptor plate which will bolt up to both the 5.7L and 6.0L diff flanges.
