its an LSD.

dropped the pumpkin the other night, it's at a rear end shop getting the wavetrac, new bearings/seals, nismo cover installed

. the diff is surprisingly VERY easy to remove once you get to it...have to remove the rear braces, rear sway, and exhaust. the center driveshaft is a simple 6 bolts that you can easily reach by spinning one of the rear wheels. same goes for the axles!

I just installed the motordyne art pipes.. does anyone know if the sound improves as it breaks in or that little rasp will stay.

Drove the Z to V day dinner in 6 degrees last night, it was the first time she moved in a few weeks. Oh do I miss driving it more than 1-2 days a month.

Cold ... gettin' down to 3 degrees tonight. This is 4WD truck weather. So ... I let the Z stay home in the garage.

diff is all buttoned back up and found an exhaust leak on the ark's resonators that are above the main muffler. had it welded back at a local shop so it delayed me from starting the car up. first impressions of the new diff...feels a little weird on hard corners, its alot more controlled than before! i hit a corner with a slight uphill/dip where i can usually get some slight rear lifting, and it performed beautifully. once the right wheel hit the ground i heard some tire squeal. eat my traction, quaife!

Please share your diff's specs/brand, etc.

wavetrac! its an ATB type diff. similar to a quaife, except the wavetrac has an improved design which allows the car to still have traction where the quaife becomes an open diff - when a single wheel is in the air, and on deceleration. it used to be that nissan/nismo was the only distributor, but vividracing is an authorized disti as well. hit em up if you're interested. i think im the first one to put one into the 370

Received a whole mess of new parts in the mail I need to make time to install before spring. Motordyne manifold, Whiteline Diff Bushings, Stillen Headers... so much work! lol
