Now that our GT-R is making almost 650 whp, with more coming everyday, the drivetrain parts are certainly being over-stressed in their stock form. SSP have decided to upgrade the axle shafts on the car in an effort to strengthen the system before any catastophic failures happen. This is only one of many parts that SSP plans on releasing for the R35 drivetrain. With this addition we are one step closer to having the world’s most powerful GT-R that won’t grenade it’s internals as soon as we put the power to the ground.
The new axles have an advanced design that increases the CV bearing cage strength and a couple other improvements. SSP have been building high power AWD cars for some time now and it is nice to see their experience prove useful in the modified GT-R world. The axles are made in house at SSP and they plan to keep them in stock and ready to ship at a moments notice. Although they aren’t cheap, $2,399.00 isn’t too bad if you are trying to find the limit of what your GT-R can take. Happy hunting.
