Thanks Jason, looks like one more thing to add to my list of crap I need to fix lol

Jake: It doesn't look like it, but I'm not sure I just noticed an abnormal amount of overrun and rasp when driving so I checked the exhaust and that's what I found.

That's what I thought was weird. It looks like it is only leaking on the bottom. Didn't know gaskets could leak directionally lol

Yes sir I ordered the Cusco RS 1.5 from Intense about a week ago. Yeah the VLSD isn't cutting it for me anymore lol. Plus I'm doing the gear swap so might as well kill two birds with one stone.

Gotta give big props to Intense for having great customer support about the whole transaction. The lsd had to be shipped from Japan and so far Intense has been very helpful about the whole thing. I would definitely recommend purchasing from them

ya, just a section of the gasket can blow out and then it will leak at one spot only...the gasket wont be complete when you pull it open.

dont forget the nismo diff cover and solid diff bushings...best to do them all at once..if your rear diff bushing isnt already blown, it will with the cusco!
