Which Diff/LSD cover?

Are you going to pop in the Z1 urethane bushings while the pumpkin is out?

I wasn't planning on it. Someone else said it wasn't necessary right now

If your bushings aren't leaking, they are fine.

It was probably me that posted, "I put in a pumpkin from the Nissan parts catalog from a performance 6MT. I left the stock bushings, as I didn't want to change too many things, and not 'feel' if something feels off with the new one."

For the Independence Day sale at Z1, I'll pick up the rear diff support and install it at the same time I put in the new bushings.

Yep, it was you! Someone else also made a similar comment.

No leaking bushings...at 250 miles so that's good. But I noticed some surface rust? TF is that about? Cmon Nissan

I think the big bushing is metal on metal, so rust is possible. If Z1 could get the bushing sleeve out of the cross member of a 20 year old 350Z that weathered NJ winters with the pusher, my garaged 2024 should poop them out just fine.

I'll have a chunk of dry ice on me though. I'll pop out the rubber center, then set the dry ice on the inside of the sleeve.

I'm just tired of dropping the exhaust! Will plan whatever else needs done so I can focus on other things.
