yikes...

I'm guessing that these are available from Nissan ??? I included the link as an illustration...I know about Sam and GTM.

Back to the main point - Any input as to the concept of utilizing a lower final drive to more efficiently handle the added power ?

Enjoy !

I'm running the quaife lsd and it works great. Way less wheel hop and on good new tires I can keep from spinning 3rd. 1st n 2nd still useless tho.

Just want to post a follow up so far.
I decided to do another oil change and my magnetic oil drain plug was full of small metal shavings. I will do another in about 600 miles just to see how much metal will be on the magnetic plug then but whats weird is the car hasn't burned any oil at all. I would have thought it would have burned some during this break-in period. Other than that I
m still having to go over a lot of the small things vsr missed while putting my car back together..

MidnightBlueZ · 09-16-2014, 02:11 PM

Damn what all have they missed?

COSMO · 09-16-2014, 02:37 PM

When they didn't reinstall my under tray (skid pan) it worn some of my fender lining off at the bottom, one oil sensor unplugged, shifter boot not on correctly, clamps on the intercooler piping put half assed on, also forgot my steering plate that connects the steering ram to the sub frame, etc, etc. What I don't get is why did they even have to take any of those things off just to drop the tranny to install a rear main seal. I think one of there boy scouts screwed something up so they had to fix it... Only time will tell folks..
