Glad you got it up and running again. Sometimes the hard lesson are the ones you will never forget and never make again. Don't let it keep you down. I have seen worse things while working as a tech at Nissan. Some folks just don't need any tools in their hands. They are dangerous. LOL

Thanks Spooler. You're right, I sure learned a lot from it, and I'm not inclined to make errors like this again.

Couple of updates - headed out to western PA in another week to visit Rusty, his wife, and install the z1 poly bushings, and z1 diff cover!

Getting closer.

Looking forward to you come out. :tup: One of the things I want to do when we switch diff covers is to measure your back lash on the ring and pinion. Just to see what it is. I measure EW's when he was here.

I'll be interested to see how you do that!

When I did mine. Stock VLSD was .003". OS Giken was .0025", EW's was .0035" I think. The tooth patterns looked good on everything.

:eek:

All packages opened, parts inventoried, Z is packed and ready for Friday's trip! :happydance:

Have a safe trip and a good time!

You coming across the turnpike? If so. Get off at RT70, New Stanton. Take RT70 West to Toll43 at California. Take Toll43 South to Exit 26 Brownsville. Once through the exit. Make a left, and go straight. I'm 1.5 miles from the exit. You'll come down a small hill with a stop sign at the bottom. Go straight. You will pass by Hiller Fire Hall on your left. The next intersection down the hill. Make a right. Go 2 blocks and look for the motorhome on the right. Pull up in front of the garage door. :tup: My Z will be parked in front of the motorhome.

If you follow gps. It will take you the long way from the RT70, Toll43 California interchange. It will want to take you through some small towns. It will tell you to get off at the California exit. Ignore. Then it will tell you to get off at the Brownsville RT40 exit. Ignore. Then the exit for Low Hill before the bridge. Ignore. You want to go across the bridge and get off at the exit (26) JUST after the bridge. :tup:

:tup:

I got directions now. LOL

Come on up. :tup:

I will be up that way shortly. :)

Let me know when. And I'll try to meet you there. :tup:
