Thanks for all the nice comments, guys... I appreciate it.

I finished the differential break-in this weekend (300 miles). The break in amounts to a couple of hundred miles of easy driving followed by 15 minutes of figure eights and then a fluid change. The gear oil was a dark, metallic black... lots of carbon fiber in it... now I should be good to go for 4,000 miles.

I realized this morning that I hadn't posted any pictures with this thread... That's not good, so here's a picture of my new Nismo rear end cover.



The fins help keep the fluid cool... a necessity with higher gears... or, maybe I just thought it looked cool... Hahahaha...

 

looking good __jb

 

I like that cover.

 

thats the same reason why i got one when my diff was leaking lol

 

What is your mph limit in each gear now?

 

the better question is what is your 0-60 time. Nice mod JB.

 

I like road races versus drag strip. It matter to me if he is in 4th at 60mph.

 

I'd do it for looks too. It's only $80 online.

 

yeh
i think i got mine at lokey for $95
they had one instock that day when my car was in there for that problems so i figured why not i always wanted one lol

now when i get my free evo tt due to my wheels fitting you will be able to see it.

 

This is with my current street tires.

 

Interesting, do you have this for the stock set up for comparison?

 

I can do better than that!

Here's the website I used to calculate all that data.

I'm curious too. I have a 5AT with the 3.5 VLSD pumpkin (and all of the requisite bolt-ons) and have been contemplating changing the gears to pick up some acceleration.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!
