A R160 locked or unlocked will last about 3 flat changes with 300 hp going thought if the rear tyres are only even half decent. A 1600 1/2 shaft will last a few more than 3, give them a few weeks worth, but Cam is breaking Skyline and R180 stuff like it got metal fatigue from just sitting around too long. May be he needs some titanium stuff made up for that SR.

I dont run a locked dif apart from what comes factory in my drive car,But my 1600 has a 4 spider R160 that hasint let me down yet. Burnouts and dount's are Ok by me and are fun to do in a 510 as third gear 90Mph+ dounts are fun.
