What did you do to the G today?

Jack up the rear end, spin tires, verify going the same way.
There's also something called breakaway torque. Checking basically involves removing one wheel, leaving car in gear, and using a torque wrench on the axle nut to see how much torque it takes to move the wheel. If it's down around 35 lbs, then it's basically an open diff since it worn out. Should be somewhere around 70-90 lbs.

Busy day
I've been running a muffler delete on my 07 g35x sedan and enjoy the sound quite alot. Today I installed my new exhaust tips (quad tips) and also switched out the orange parking lights for white ones, nothing too huge. Planning on ordering k-sport AWD coilovers in the next week or two, just wanted to stop in and put up some more of my progress.

As far as removing the old bushings, the smaller ones were easy to press out with a hydraulic press. For the larger ones, I first drilled out the center of the bushing and then used a sawzall to cull through the bushing and bushing collar. Once it was cut I was able to pound them out. The SPL bushings don't easily slip in, they need to be pressed in. I think the Sikky bushings are 2 piece (top and bottom) and can be installed without a press.
