Do one piece s13 driveshafts only get made out of aluminum or carbon? Im not looking to spend $400+ but need a one piece. Any other options?

 

phase 2 sells steel ones. not as light but cheaper.

 

I got an alluminum one for $300 they sell for like $450. These are stronger cause they are 1 piece and alot lighter. You can take your stock one in and have them remake it into a 1 piece for $120 this will make it stronger than stock by eliminating the second yoke which is where I have broke mine before on a dead hook.

 

you can also get steel ones made.
dependable driveshaft can make it, they would need your old one to get the length and stuff.
wouldnt be any lighter, but wouldnt have that shitty carrier bearing anymore.
and would be alot cheaper than anything else.

 

I bought a steel 1 piece of Epstein, havent gotten to use it yet, but it weighs about 15 lbs. i think he said it cost him about 200$ to get made.

 

Yes, I got that driveshaft made at Dependable Driveshaft in Clearwater for about $225. It took about 3 days to make, and only needed to bring them my stock unit (which I got back and sold). It is a steel 1-piece made with Mustang rebuildable U-joints (stock Nissan are not rebuildable). It weighs about 15lbs. I replaced it with an Enjuku aluminum one that weighs 11lbs. The stock one weighs about 23lbs.

Just FYI, 350Z's have carbon driveshafts from the factory.
