Which Diff/LSD cover?

[5thZ]

My LSD came in from Japan much sooner than I expected. Got hit with taxes on delivery. Thought I was getting off without taxes only to see UPS man turn into tax man. Anyways, now I'm looking at either the Z1 or CZP diff covers. They both have ports, extra fluid capacity, fins, etc.

Does anyone have experience with either?

Edit: I couldn't find the CZP one so I purchased the Z1. I find CZP's website difficult to use

The Z1 is nice. fit nicely onto my pumpkin.

What are you putting the LSD in to ? Your stock open diff pumpkin?

I am changing out the open diff to the Nismo GT Pro 1.5 way LSD. Nissan USA confirmed it fits in my car so I wanted to try it out. Took a while to get someone knowledge from z1 to also confirm that their cover fits over the imported LSD. I can get part number in a few minutes if you're curious. Someone else here actually has done the same thing. I thought I was being slick and the first one to do it but they did it already lol.

Surprisingly importing the better LSD from Japan was cheaper than any option from Nissan USA, any aftermarket option, and also about $700 cheaper than buying it from Z1 or CZP (the LSD is hidden within their sites pretty good)

This probably goes without saying; Just get a good shop to install it and set the gear mesh/lash correctly. Let us all know how much labor runs you.

Do you need to get the shorter axle stubs to install yours?

Yep I did they were included in the kit from Nismo directly. The only thing not included was the oil but that's okay. I was thinking of calling the Nissan and Infiniti dealerships around here. I know a service manager or shop manager (I forget) of my local Infiniti dealership. Met him at road Atlanta and he was one of my instructors. He's offered to help build my car and says it's not the first race car they built/maintain, so fingers crossed. With two hours of labor it's still cheaper than the comparable Nissan USA part or aftermarket parts, but after that it gets expensive. No idea how much labor is involved. Most of the instructions are in Japanese
