Now they are waiting on Nissan to send a new seal. So that means no 1/4 for me this weekend.

Looks to be raining anyways here in Seattle. Seems we are in the same boat Z Elim.

I wonder if this seal blew out so easy what's to think the new one will hold for any given period of time?
Bummer. The 4.08's wait will be worth it. Since you're waiting, might as well order a set of Whiteline diff bushings if you have some extra cash.

And just a warning, 1st and most of 2nd gear will be useless on the street with most tires. I had 285/35/19 RE050A's for a little while, full throttle in 1st forget it. Even at the top of 2nd gear they would lose traction. Maybe in warm summer weather they would have a chance but otherwise forget it. They were a bit worn out, 75% tread but still very disappointing.

But with 285/35/19 RE-11's, now we're talking. They can hold all of first gear, no problem. They spin a little in 1st when they're cold but quickly warm up.
