New carbon fiber driveshafts

[pbonsalb]

Not affiliated. Just posting because there has been a lot of interest in a carbon fiber driveshaft similar to the ones YCW/MFactory used to sell. Those shafts were made for them by J-Fiber. There is a group buy for E46 and E90 M3 shafts:

These retain the guibo unlike DSS, so they don’t add NVH. I have the original version and like it.

NICE! I love my MFactory one. They appear to be identical to it as well with no changes to design.

Interesting. I want to take part, but haven’t been a member until now, and I literally can’t do anything until I’ve 150 posts, it seems.

Well I see some inconsistency with the J-Fiber story and the YCW story. J-Fiber says that all the work was done by them, YCW only re-labeled. YCW claims they did all the work on the flanges and sourced only the CF drive shaft tubes from a 3rd party (I assume J-Fiber). YCW also claims that the lack of NVH is due to their flanges which are made to OE-spec tolerances.

So which is the true story here? If the J-Fiber flanges are not as high quality as the YCW ones, will the DS vibrate?

Agreed... I wonder if the issues have been sorted out yet.

I put myself down for 6MT E92 M3 shaft.

Wonder if I can get in on an E61/S85/DCT version. :/

Noticeable difference?

I'm a member on the site but I cannot add my name for some reason. Can anyone help.

Can you pm walkedU? Or reset your password there? Or maybe you dont have enough posts to post in all forums yet? If not send me a pm with your car and trans and name and email and I will pm him. I did this for another member here.

Damn. This is crazy tempting. In the same boat as the rest not being a member 😭

[pbonsalb]

Send me the info and I will PM it to walkdu and hopefully he will add you and email you directly.

Why no love for the VAC shaft?

[pbonsalb]

The shaft VAC sells now is a DSS shaft. No guibo, more nvh.

[dfwashere]

if anyone is trying to get on the GB list, you can email j-fiber's listed email and they can get you on the list.

WALKD_U added this note, in his last post:

"If I am missing anyone please email me at M3HNGRY @ gmail dot com."

Also, the GB has reached the top tier....Pretty decent deal, at this point.

I vaguely remember the YCY (or WCW?) one which indeed was supposed to be the cat's pajamas.

Advantages? We expect some more hp?

As it'll go on a E90 M3 DCT track car, does it survive max attack shifts? the inertial hammer is not the most friendly to mechanical bits
