Looks like you've got a blown rear diff bushing my friend. That fluid/dirt on the rear cover tells the story.

You need new diff bushings , and BTW that brace is pointless. If you want to stiffen up the rear a bit , get whiteline subframe bushings when you do your diff bushings.

I'm having resonators welded in this weekend, should make some vids after that.

Thanks for the advice about the diff bushings - I took it into the dealer and had a mechanic look at it, and he said he thought it was just overfilled at one point and dripped out during servicing since there is no residue on the subframe and because he couldn't feel a tear. But after searching the forums about the issue I'm not sure I believe him though. Is there anything you can tell from the pic?

I'm considering the SPL bushings and possibly the Nismo diff cover.

Got my V2 bumper mounted, still needs paint but running it at the track on Sunday.nswapped the OEM front end links on, swapped out my power steering cooler for a B&M one. The finished up with an oil change.

Tomorrow it's time to rebuilt calipers/swap caliper pistons, install roll bar padding and mount the track wheels.

Full interior detail job.

Ugh, I hate detailing interiors. Would rather wash/wax 10 times instead of 1 interior cleaning.

Finished up a week long nightmare on the rear suspension.

After all said and done Z now had a new subframe, Spl solid diff bushings, energy suspension subframe mounts, spc rear camber arms& toe bolts, and all rear bushings replaced (fronts already done) with ES units.

Removing the 4 bushings in the spindles was the worst, required 12mm all thread and some
odd ball alum press plates I had to turn at work. My shop press really didn't help much.
