alright so on my way to work i get in my car (2 mile commute...local)
and drive off normally. nothing too crazy..just driving regularly..
i stop at a red light.. and need to pass a car so i take
1st gear to 5500-6k rpm and shift into 2nd and i hear a SNAP!
and next thing i know.. the car is revving in gear but not pulling..
and i hear this crackcrackcrackcrack(read it out loud fast) sound
from my rear wheels...so i barely pull over by half clutching without
any pedal and get out of my car to see nothing looks wrong with the
coils/wheels. so eventually i had to flatbed my car in to F1 motorsports
and have the guys check it out.
they found out that the axle snapped.
i also found out that if you take off quickly then this usually happens.
The thing is.. i dont do burn outs... nor run my car like sh*t..
but this happens.... with the car having only 5*** miles????
they say this is a common problem with g's, z's, gtr's... wtf nissan
seriously... why make a sports car with a sh*tty axle?
well i cant blame everything on nissan because i recently put on
tanabe coilovers... and now i know that coils (or just straight out lowering the car) makes it easier for the axle to snap.. the mech explained it to me..
... something about cambering...
well they did find a used part from the junkyard (i think it was out of a G35) and i got it installed and the car is drivable again....
but this sucks guys..
i thought about taking it to the dealer but... thinking about the time and fighting over the warranty issue is just going to give me a bigger headache knowing that they will blame the coils and see the other aftermarket parts i have on the car and think i drive the car hard all the time.
Its the first time im seriously considering selling the car..
