I have a prior commitment on the 17th. My availble days open for May are the 11th (Sun) and 31st (Sat).

No need to make any date changes on my account. If something changes for the 17th I will be down. Never been on Skeeter Ridge Rd and always wanted to see what everyone from car enthusiasts to motorcyclist have been raving about. . Working on getting the motorcycles up and running again.

Bad news

Just found out my rear differential bushings are cracked and leaking fluid. I've seen a few people on the forums have this problem. The whole diff has to be dropped, so I might as well overhaul as much as I can. I see this as an opportunity for some upgrades. I'm going to get some whiteline polyurethane bushings, nismo diff cover, and a whiteline rear sway bar.

Does anybody know any good reliable shops that will do the work? The job is going to take a few hours and I'm not even going to try it. Price isn't that a big a deal, just rather have it done right.

The Rear End Shop in Livermore. Tell em Nathaniel Rowland sent you their way. My car is actually in their shop right now. All they do is differentials, work fast and know what they are doing.

Side note: The sways are easy to swap out with the diff still in place. Go with one of the hollow bars as well, the inner material on solid bars is a waste of weight since it doesn't contribute as much to the bars torsional rigidity/stiffness. Hollow>solid every time.

My first idea would start us in Placerville at ZPie and leaving at 9AM to avoid heavier traffic on hwy 49 then to forest hill road for a short break. After the break we'd move onto Mosquito Ridge road we would later gather at the giant rock for photo ops (shown below). From there Kelley (white Nismo) has been nice enough to open her house to us for a BBQ. She also has a pool if you need to cool off or clean off the dust from the run

Please give me your availability and thoughts on this run. This will be a more exciting run than the Delta cruz and we ask that you drive within your comfort level.

Checking in for the run. Do we have a list of attendees?

Hey Myotorsports, so its a good thing we didn't end up trying the diff swap in your garage. The left side stub axle that I had gotten with the diff was the wrong one, in the end, my car was sitting in the shop on their lift for over a week with no diff in it, while I sourced the right part (which turned out to be its own adventure...). Luckily they were nice guys and didnt charge me anything extra or give me any hassle about that.
You should come on the cruise with us or meet for some part of it man, even if its just for food afterwards.

Dave, good to hear from yah. See you on the run!
