I dont post on these boards much but I thought I'd throw up a thread. I drive a S13.5 with a built sr, widebody, yada yada. Just picked it up a few months back ( Used to be a subaru guy)

My drivetrain looks like this:

Mazworx 300zx trans adapter kit
300zx trans
Exedy twin disc clutch
Custom aluminum driveshaft
J30 LSD
Driveshaft shop 600hp axels( Level 2's)
Ichiba 5 lug adapter kit

Im running Fusion Zri tires ( Yes . Fusion. I know :nono:)

A few days ago, Im being a bit foolish on a non public road and from a 6K drop/lauch/what have you I hear a loud clank( Oh noes!). After pulling everything apart I find this

Im frankly pretty surprised considering I was on street tires. There was no wheel hop, just broke before it could even move a foot. I plan on calling driveshaft shop today. Any thoughts?

edit: Im making around 460 wheel so the axle should have held this power level.
