This is a great thread! I just got my '16 Nismo and this thread is inspiring me to hop on the mod wagon. Nothing drastic for now.

Rusty, I am wondering why you haven't upgraded the VLSD rearend. The stock unit is terrible. I think that is the next thing on my gotta have list.

It's on my must do list, but haven't decided on which one I want yet. :icon14: Planning on doing that with the SPL bushings, the Z1 cover, and temp gauge. Also my Power Wagon needs some lovin' too. $$$

I am going to do the Wavetrac. Low maintenance and no noise. No clutch disks to wear out.

I just priced one from Z1 today. To have one shipped to your door it is a little over $3200. That's with paying the $600 dollar core and keeping your old one. Comes with diff bushings of your choice (Whiteline or SPL) and diff fluid.

Spooler 11-07-2016 09:59 PM
Oh, I forgot to mention it comes with stub axles also. So if your car is totaled, like my old one, you can remove the diff and install the old one. Little pricey but worth if things go south.

Is that for a Quaife?

Wavetrac, completely rebuilt. The whole diff, with fluid, and Diff bushing of your choice (Energy suspension, Whiteline, or SPL). You can even choose which gears you get with it. The rear finned diff cover comes with it also.

Actually not a bad price if you do the core exchange. Regardless it makes the swap easy. Thread jack over!!!:p

Rusty, I just spent the past few hours skimming over your thread. It was VERY informative and entertaining. I purchased my 09 Z brand new, but shortly thereafter got married, bought a house, sent my son to college and then had a baby, so I was beyond broke and couldn't afford any mods. Thankfully things have gotten easier and I started modding again a few months ago. You gave me a TON of ideas and a great resource for install info. Thanks for taking the time to put this together and for maintaining it over the years.

Thank you for the kind words. Hope it helps you in choice of mods. Have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm not done doing mods. Just slowed down because of being on a fixed income now. :eek: Retired! :happydance:
