The first thing you need to ask yourself before you start modifying is "what do I want to do with the car". Will you be doing auto cross, road tracks, drag racing, or just a nice reliable street car? This will point you in the right direction. All have different start points but all start at wheels and tires! One to change the looks but also to get more traction then you will get lower times!

@LifeonWheels5 жыл бұрын
A torque wrench measure the force put on to a bolt or nut. It is important but not necessary. It is to make sure that the bolt or nut won't come loose when you are driving. If you have done suspension parts and haven't had issues with stuff coming loose you should be fine. But I would recommend getting and looking up torque wrenches to add to your collection of tools! I hope this helps you out!!

Hey man, awesome video, first and foremost, but what were the symptoms you were experiencing, other than visually, that your rear diff bushing was shot, I know wheel hop is one of them, Im currently experiencing what I can only explain to be a "thudding" kind of sound in between shifts, and after inspection my diff bushing is def cracked, and doesnt even have any of the "goo" left in it, was just wondering what your symptoms were and if you thought the new diff bushings would solve my issue? (2010 Nissan 370z)
@LifeonWheels6 жыл бұрын
Sorry for taking longer than normal getting back to you! Wheel hop like you said is one major sign. Another like what you are experiencing is a "thudding" between shifts, you should hear it coming from the rear end. I still had goo in my bushings but the diff it self was hitting the sub frame causing the thudding between shifts and coming back onto power hard. I do believe new diff bushing will help and do it soon. Mine was so bad it broke the lsd so I was doing one tire fires. You will also notice in corners (with the new bushings) the car wont be as tail happy and should fell more solid. You might not notice it now because you got use to how it feels but that was one thing I noticed after installing them. Good luck!!
@nicholasrubino54266 жыл бұрын
No worries, thanks so much for the response!!

I would definitely be mad if I broke my diff !!!! Now Im nervous, how did it break the diff?
@LifeonWheels6 жыл бұрын
No problem! I can"t say for sure how it happened because I did drive the car hard and drifted it around. I am sure it was a contributing factor. With the torque input into the diff and it being loose from the bad bushings, it would twist putting more stress on the axes and making them harder to turn. In return it put a lot of un-necessary stress on the gear set. That's just my hypothesis, it also could be the previous owners drove it just as hard as I did and something had to give. I would also check your u joints on the drive shaft to make sure they didn't flat spot because of that. With the extra give in the diff it could be a possibility, it happened on my car. In that case the whole drive shaft would have to be replaced because it has non serviceable u joints, but luckily there are good deals on ebay for low mile drive shafts for the z's if that is the case.

Hey Life On Wheels. Thanks for sharing this video. I just have one question of the 350z's. My 2004 is having some noise from the Passenger side from inside the cabin, sort of a whirling noise...after watching this not sure if it could be the differential driveshaft sending that noise up front. First I thought it could be the "Carrier Bearing" which supports the driveshaft itself or something, at this point not really wanting to take everything apart just yet. Can you help?? Thanks...subscribed

Sprydo7 I have honestly never heard that sound before. I would have to be there in person to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. At this point it's guessing. It could be simple like air filter, belts, or oil change in the engine and transmission. I would have a friend go around and under your car to find where the sound is coming from.
