I'm assuming no matter which I go with I'll still have to add some steps (wood blocks) because my lip sticks out pretty far.

Just hit 33k miles today. Bought it with 29k.

And I just put my new floor and trunk mats in which look great. My girl just got them for me for Christmas. I haven't put the drivers side may in yet because for some reason the Z store shipped me a Nismo logo mat which makes no sense because on the page it shows both mats with the Z logo so I'll have to have that one exchanged.

The Larger Z emblem makes all the difference. The nicer looking texture and feel doesn't hurt either. I'll be sure to post comparison pics soon but the little Z on the original mat is like 3" by 3" and these are I'd say off the top of my head 10" by 10" or something

Those mats looks nice.

Just got done changing my Diff fluid. This was the first time its been changed since I installed my OS Giken LSD about 6K miles ago. Boy it was nasty. Black as tar and as thick also. Smelled burnt to me but not sure if that's normal with this oil being it has 6K miles and three track days. Recommended intervals per OSG is 15K under normal circumstances. So with my track days and hard driving it was time. Good thing was the drain plug didnt have much of any metal shaving on it so I'm happy there.

OSG fluid is 80w 250 and I highly suggest only using there oil. My LSD has alway been quit. The only time I've heard it pop or bind is after a very long day at the track and after a few hours of cooling down it never made a peep afterwards.

I just hit 30k and I am planning a full fluid flush come spring when I put it back on the road. Im totally scared of what my dif fluid is gonna look like considering its never been changed yet.

Im gonna have to look into the OSG 80w 250 as per your recommendation.

I'm sorry I might of mislead you. But don't use OSG fluid with any other LSD. It's only specifically for OSG LSD. There some guys that run Motul oil in there OSG's. Which there's no harm by that. But it will make the OSG LSD bind a little more. I've seen this first hand. Motul is good oil and far cheaper. But I'd rather pay $90 to change my diff being it only needs to be changed ever two oil changes if your hard on your car as I am.

I kinda had it in my head that it was specific to that LSD. Thanks for the clarification. Im pretty hard on my car but Im not tracking it like you so Im sure you are harder on it

Smartass!

Wait a sec...cant tell if you're being facetious or not!

I was being facetious and a little bit of a smart-alec. Anytime anyone is in Sac, our door is always open (seriously).

Drove the Z to Valley of Fire state park today, then went to the Bellagio buffet to a few dozen king crab legs. Will post pics later in the week when I get home.
