Z1 Motorsport Driveshaft B4 / After Dyno G35

A special thanks goes out to Hill's Garage (Frank and Suzanne) in Baltimore, MD for letting me use this screenshot. A lot of us were wondering about the Z1 Motorsports Aluminum Driveshaft and what type of gains could be seen / expected. Now, this is an N/A G35 Coupe Automatic with MINOR performance mods. You will see similar gains to the G37 Coupe.

This is basically a before and after Dyno. Before the Aluminum Driveshaft was added (red line) and after (blue line). I couldn't believe how much horsepower / torque that was made from this thing. Needless to say, I had Hill's Garage order me one to use in collaboration with my Supercharger kit.

Z1 has the G37 Coupe in Manual only available at this time. The Automatic is about a month or so away.

Please note: On the blue run with the Z1 driveshaft the wide open throttle wasn't taken all the way to redline and that's why it looks like the power dropped off.

Power will be made on both sides of the coin -whether you're boosted or not.

you save weight as well!
the extra acceleration you get doesnt show on a dyno. if you want more POWAA, driveshaft upgrade would be a great way to go

A few hard launches on drag radials may beg to differ
