Wow
Never heard of this one before. I have owned quite a few GT-R's and never had an axle snap. Buddy of mine in Yokohama was a Z freak, had at least 6 since Ive known him......all of them tuned to at least 500hp at the wheels....and never had an axle snap.
The only car that is notorious for weak axles that I am aware of is the evo. When I was stationed in Japan, we would spend alot of time at Ebisu circuit, Fuji Speedway, and EVERY weekend on Saturday nights from midnight to 3:00 a.m. watching hundreds of cars drift and 1/4 mile. NEVER and I repeat NEVER have I seen a snapped axle on a Z or a GT-R.
Three different times though Ive seen an evo snap one either 1/4 mile or Gym -kana.
I have to agree with ModShak and the other guys.......your previous accident finally showed you how much damage was done. Sucks to hear, still would have taken it to the dealer.
