Anyone know the Nissan specs to install the quaife? Besides measuring the backlash, what are the Torque specs for anything inside the diff?

This cut was very easy and quick! Thanks for the help. Been running it all year so far issue free on a new Wavetrac

Regardless of the LSD you will be installing, you need to do the following:

1. torque all the nuts on the final drive according to torque spec in the FSM
2. check backlash to be in spec with the FSM specification
3. check preload (how much effort is necessary to actually move the gears within the diff), again, according to the FSM.
4. add oil with spec as specified by the LSD maker, amount specified by the FSM
