Experience with NVA Axles?

JeffP-Z

Anyone here have any experience with using the Nissan Value Advantage Axles? The boots on my OEM RR axle were torn recently and my local shop had an NVA axle which turned out to be cheaper than replacing the boots so we threw it in there. They had only ever had to replace a few of them and these NVA axles had never been a problem before so I tried...

I drove it home about 15 miles and then over to the Houston Raceway Park for Import Face-off the next weekend. On the second pass, the inner CV joint snapped. Mind you this is a stock block with just intakes, and full exhaust, and a OSG 1.5 Diff...pushing about 300-310 hp at the wheels when dynoed. I had made at least a few dozen passes on the original axles without ever having issues.

So did I just get a defect or are these things particularly weak? I don't have much experience with the NVA line of "OEM Equivalent" products and neither do most of the people I have talked to. Anyone here?
