its just the uj I checked the prop from what i could see and it all seems fine. The prop is a custom one from norris. Apparently it wouldnt break. maybe it cant handle a pukka right foot
 .....The uj is just held in by circlips so it just needs them popping out and a new uj putting in. Ive got some at work but need the size. I think he is just going to call up ND for one though. It did feel like it had a bit too much bodyroll on the rear end though which Den knows about. It could be subframe bushes or rear dampers or too soft springs. I recon it could do with the lot uprating. Its not terrable but i think he wants the best from his car like the rest of us. i dont know much about all that subframe bush stuff so he needs your knowledge there i recon You did a gd job on his 4 pots Shaun. Spot on

Thanks for the offers guys! - It was a DAMN good meet, and I finally have JUICE! - Bloody sodding electrics...  DAMN Pukka knows how to launch! lol! - It really did feel like the front wheels were gonna rise up when he dropped it, and like I said - It would have def. done it the first time I'd got a good launch, as it was obviously stressed already, so Pukka mate - Seriously, don't worry about it! - Anyhoo, it'll mean I can rag it even more with a couple of new ones on...  Yep indeed - Simon sure knows how to build a cracking engine! - I'm just glad you were impressed mate - God knows it's been long enough since I first offered you a spin, and the subsequent problems have just made it longer, so now you know how Wacomuk felt... - Having said that, he had a slipping clutch and pretty much NO Brakes to contend with, so I erm... daresay his blast was slightly more... erm.. adrenalyn inducing?... lol!  All the best guys, and I'm sure she'll be back up and ready for more sideways shenanigans real soon... PS - Pukka? - The way you took those corners was well 'ard... lol! mighty impressed matey!

Will probably go over to Den's on Saturday and help him get the prop off and hopefully sort out a decent recovery point as well.
Not the easiest thing to tow with the front splitter on.

That won't be the first or last propshaft or anything else in the transmission breaking from dumping a paddle clutch unfortunately.
Thats why clutches have sprung centres to soften the impact. Bigtone from sxoc had a paddle clutch shatter dumping it in 3rd and it shat itself smashing the gearbox bell housing to bits. He's running around 600bhp as well. Does the paddle clutch in there have a sprung centre do you know?

I didnt Dump the clutch.Why am i continiously having to set you straight.  The thing with dens setup is that it has longer uprated gear ratio's in an s14 box and a modified 300zx rear diff(unsure of crown and pinion size) To get any sort of decent launch it would involve launching at a higher rpm and slipping the clutch slightly to stop it from bogging down. I didnt bugger his prop from negligence or ignorance, I drive cars with twin plate sintered clutches all the time,A paddle clutch is easy work. I found his a little harsh in traffic due to the 1st gear ratio but other than that very well set up. It broke as it was either allready stressed or because its not upto the job.He has an uprated box and diff, the bit in the middle is going to be the next weekest point. The uj did look to be slightly undersized to be honest but its probably worth replacing with the same and see how it lasts.

lol!Martin? - Cheers for the info - I honestly don't know if it's sprung or not, but I guess if the clutch is gripping that well now I should be happy compared to previous clutch problems! Will find out, but yeah - Will be good to get a proper launch with a new UJ, as that felt f*cking awesome! - You could feel the car rearing up ready to fly... - Second time lucky Pukka? Cheers all - You really do look after me, and it's appreciated...
