[RHDskyline]

Got my wheels today. YAY. They aren't in the best condition. But for the price i paid. I can't complain

[RHDskyline]

So got wheels and 2 way diff today

[jdms13rhd]

Did you get Z32 front uppers??? Cuz they are slightly different than R32.

[RHDskyline]

thats what i had ordered, but they were backordered and i couldn't wait, so i cancelled.

I was under the impression they were the same?

[RWD_GTR]

they are the same. aftermarket wise anyway. my spl's said r32 and z32

Pictures are in reverse but either way





My block adapter to run my oil pressure

These are the subframe spacers that i just installed today



Trying to get an idea of what it will look like once its on the ground






OOOOPS. Didn't take my spacers off haha

[RHDskyline]

So yeah. Today i got my 2 way diff in. subframe spacers in, test fitted wheels and now im pretty much good to go to vancouver.

Gotta pick up my tires in lethbridge first

Time for a fender roller! Or mad stretch but I think a small roll and pull will look good. How did the diff install go? Did you do it usself or a shop?

[RHDskyline]

With no spacer in the rear and my 15mm in the front (to clear the brakes). Its perfect fitment. I'll probably run a 215/40 in the rear and a 205/40 in the front once im in vancouver. Cause i want to run as little camber as possible but still be flush.

My fenders are already rolled. I got 4-235/40/18 falken rt-615k tires on order right now. But i think are going to be too wide. Might look into selling them and getting something that will fit better. I just need something to get my to vancouver.

I also installed my adjustable RUCA so i can adjust the camber in the rear. But no front adjustment for me yet.

As for the diff. Pretty easy with the help of my dad at the shop today and then one of the other technicians who knows a lot about diffs.

Mainly just get the pumpkin down. Take exhaust off, undo driveshaft bolts, axles bolts, in my case Hicas delete bar. drain fuild, drop pumpkin. Set on work bench. take apart.

SInce i didn't get a final drive gear with my 2 way i just swapped my crown gear off my stock diff so i wouldn't get any howling. The backlash was the exact same stock and after i put 2 way in, So i lucked out there. Filled it up with fluid while it was on bench. And then the reverse process

[RHDskyline]

So. The tires i had for me in lethbridge I sold. Too wide. Went to wheel plus in edmonton. Boy did they hook me up. Long story short, got tires for 100 bucks a side. 225/40/18 for the rear and 215/40/18 for the front. Picking them on my way back to lethbridge tomorrow.

Man oh man. 2 way diff makes it HELLA scary to drive on snow. Highways better be clear. Pretty sure im going to pick up winters in calgary for my drive to vancouver.

Got new aerolatch hood pins on. Boy was that a bitch. The hood pins are badass and work great. But trying to mount them. I had to cover up my current holes and it was just hard. Got it finally though. I feel safer with these hood pins over my other ones.

Also changed my oil tomororw. Went with AMSoil. Same price as Royal Purple in my area, But i wanted to switch it up. Put it in. Ran my engine, checked my dipstick, and i didn't know it was possible, but i liked the smell of that oil after it ran through my engine.

Im going to try and unclog my heater core today so i can have some heat during my many kms of driving my car will be going through.

Im going to raise my car up so i have better clearance and to fit the new winters.

yaaaaaa!

Oh i forgot to add. That block adapter that i got, to run my oil pressure. Won't work for my application.

Is there maybe a smaller filter i can get to make it work. Cause with the adapter it brings it out to far and it hits a hardline by the frame. Im guessing its a power steering line.

I was a little upset by that. I was hoping to finally get an oil pressure gauge in my car
