We now have a complete bulletproof drivetrain available for the GTO. We found the OE differential to be plenty strong but the axles, CV's and driveshafts are failure prone. After speaking with various Australian companies, it was determined the factory components fail in the following order:
1)Driveshaft - usually the rubber joints will break when drag racing once the car dips below 1.70's in the 60 foot mark.
2)CV Axles - If the shaft doesn't break at the transition point, the inner CV joint breaks.
3)Axle Stubs - These rarely break before the other components but if you upgrade the other components, these become the next weak link.
Our 1 piece driveshaft is not only made from chromoly, it's also an inch larger in diameter. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we use proven Mark Williams billet front drive yokes and the driveshaft gets forged 1350 series u-joints front and rear. A custom machined drive hub is also provided with the driveshaft to adapt the Australian rear to traditional U-joint standards. This hub is machined from billet and then hardened.
Our Heavy Duty CV axles use custom billet CV cages and the shaft itself is made from 300M material, the strongest axle material available.
Our Stub Axles are also CNC cut from 300M billet and are a direct replacement for the factory axles.
All three products are now available for shipping. For more images and product detail, go HERE.
