Default what extra parts did you need?

I decided to go with cusco rs also, what extra parts did you end up having to buy? Does the touring model require extra parts?

yes, the touring model needs some stuff, i have a touring model as well. but it is not like the base model where that needs new stub axles, so thats a major relief. here is what you need:
2 Oil Seals: (38342-P9010)
2 Differential Bearings: (38440-0C000)

total should be around like $80-90 from performance nissan when i purchased mine.

you could spring for a new differential cover that keeps the fluid cool, an extra $90 ish. the reason i did was because i already had the pumpkin out of the car, thats the only way to install it, and didnt want any chance of my fluid boiling.

Thanks daytona, I might just get it installed at performance if the price is right. Just got the diff cooler cover, now just waiting for the pumpkin. I'll send a message to jason or tony when the cusco comes in.

thanks again!

How much was the install at Street Image? Is it an all day job? I might check around locally too to see how much Signal Auto charges since they are closest to me.

Thanks for the updates, 300 isn't that bad. Might look into going there instead. Haven't been to signal in a long time, so really wasn't sure, but they did have a few good mechanics a few years ago.

now i have a delema.. I decided on the cusco rs but what setting would be for me. I drive the car everyday, do a 3-4 autocross events and one drift a month. I wonder if the 1.5 with 80% lockup would be the sweet spot. Do any of you guys autocross the 2way?

1/5 way with 60% would be the ideal in my book - that's what I run

the 2 way and ABS don't get along very well - you are always fighting the car

I did not like it much at all at 2 way (I have no VDC) but at 1.5 its one of the best mods I have done

Adam, So 1.5 way does not affect the ABS?
