Pictures. :tup:

3rd + 4th. Measuring back lash. .0025. Should be .005.

1st + 2nd. Empty diff.
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. Installing the new stud flange seals.

1st. OS Giken ready for install.
2nd, 3rd and 4th. Measuring back lash. .0025. Didn't move.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Checking tooth contact. Not a bad pattern.

1st, and 2nd. Removing the old front bushings. So that I can install the SPL bushings.
3rd. The rear SPL diff bushings installed. I put the SPL bushing in the freezer overnight. My stock bushing wasn't leaking. It was FULL of silicone. So when I drilled into the bushing. I got a face full of silicone. :icon14: Used a drill and a burr bit to remove the center section of the stock bushing. Then a sawzall to cut the outer shell of the bushing. Then used a muffler tool on my air hammer to remove the outer shell. Then used a flapped wheel on a die grinder to polish the hole in the sub-frame. Smeared grease around the inside of the hole. Installed the frozen SPL bushing into the hole using all thread as a puller. The diff in steady to install at this point.

The finished diff. Ready for install.

Your gonna love it when you go for a drive. It will be much much harder to turn those rears over. The grip improvement under power is awesome. No more one wheel wonder.

Finished installing the SPL rear upper control arm bushings. Complete write in my thread. http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...on-almost.html

Here's a couple of pic's.

Look at all all those beauty SPL parts. :tup:

Love it...I have all of those minus the end links because I run no bar in the rear. The instructor I have at my last track event raved about how well the car handled. SPL FTMFW!:driving:

You’re gonna have to get bags,,,to soften the ride.
;)

The ride will be better because now I don't have all that stiction from the rubber bushings. The suspension is allowed to move freely.

Got that diff and diff cooler yet. I just got my diff cooler Friday.

Got the diff installed today. Installing the diff cooler now. Have to make my own hoses. The hoses that come with the cooler only fit the stock diff cover. I have the Z1 cover.

I got the kit that is supposed to fit the Z1 cover with the correct fittings. I will install mine shortly. The weather front coming through has me feeling like crap.

Pic's of my center vent install on my hood. :tup:

Laying out the temp plate.

Prepping for surgery and surgery. :icon17:

Vent installed. Still have to do the side vents.

Diff cooler pic's.:tup:

That came out well.
Looks great.
Allways nervous cutting hood.

Thanks. :tiphat:
This ain't nothing. I've screwed up way more $$$$$$ stuff at work. :eek::icon14::shakes head:

My MAM diff cooler install thread is finished. :D

The C7R rear Diff cooler

That's diff cooler and tranny cooler.

Finished installing my side hood vents. :D

Berry nice Rusty. Good job.

Thank you. :tiphat:

State inspection is done.

Alignment is done. Specs are. Front camber -2.2, caster +6.2, toe 1/16" in. Rear camber -1.8, toe 1/16" in.

The Z is a bit on the dartie side. Couldn't push to hard because it's only 40F with wind gusts to 50 mph.

New gauges work. Seen oil pressure as high as 110 at 5,000 rpm. Water temp was 180F with the new hood vents. Diff temp went to 200F. Turned on the pump and watched the temps drop. Turned the fan on and the temps dropped even quicker.

The OS Giken diff is a bit clunky in operation at low speed. You know it's working.

Felt so good driving the Z again! :driving:

Pic's of the finished diff cooler install.

Glad to hear you are back on the road again.:driving:

Rusty, the diff cooler and hood vents look sweet :tup:
Can you close the vents if its raining?

no, they do not close.

Like he said. No. you have to cover them with something if you want.

I have been surprised, the shed water pretty good. In a mild rain I had no water get into the engine bay.

Hey Rusty,
Am I gonna see you next week?
