Man, you just need to start sounding more legit that's all, what kinda ghetto-azz post is this:

so i just got off the phone w/ a guy that is willing to do one for my car and i am going to see him this friday.
Haha I'm just messing with you, but you still need to give more background and who this secret guy of yours is and what qualifies him to build a part so crucial in a vehicle's operation etc..

I'm not sure if you realize it, but there are already aluminum drive shafts for the G37 available. I have on in my car. If this guy you know doesn't build drive shafts professionally for a living with h a a good amount of experience doing it, it's probably not a good idea.

As Sam said, lots more details are needed if you are going to bring this to the community. Good luck.

I honestly haven't driven the car a lot since installing it, but I do like it in the limited time I've had with it.

So, are we all waiting to see what the price would be for 10? It's under 500 if you guys like that number? WOuld love for you guys to start signing up for this. If not i am just going to go through w/ it but not going to like the price for just one but i really don't want to wait for Z1 to think about making it next year.

The reason for doing this is? Weight? If so, how much weight are we talking about?
