Input or thoughts fellas?

To go any further, I'd need a response to my post from January 10th:

Since we're getting closer to production, what will installation entail?

I understand we will reuse part of the stock VLSD. Reading up on the old Nismo aftermarket full replacement LSD, people would tend to install new side bearings, speedo gear (easy to break when attempting to reuse from the old unit), and speedo gear stopper ring. Greg Vogel sells these parts as a kit. Will this be any different?

My skill level so far is replacing fifth gear pop-out and installing new bearings in a RS532VF myself. I have a press and the typical hand tools. However, I have no experience measuring and setting differential preload with appropriate shims, and I don't know anyone local who does this. I asked a local Nissan tech, and he didn't know anyone in-house with that experience. Since part of the stock diff is reused, will this type of installation be any different (hopefully easier)?

Almeragt can test 32V at the end of February. I paid a deposit for him.

It is always a good idea to replace the diff bearings when installing an LSD, especially if your tranny is old and you've never replaced them before. I've tried looking for replacement NTN bearings, but they cost me $100 for the pair unless I order 100 sets

To set the back-lash, all you need to do is install the new diff into the tranny, close the housing, then use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the top of the diff and the housing. The factory service manual should tell you what this tolerance should be set at

100 USD for the pair sound pretty good to me as well...

Any update about information, who will be the tester?

The tester is up to you guys to decide on

Some bad news. Due to the New Year holidays, we won't be able to have the sample finished in time, and would need to wait till after the holidays before we can ship it out. Please accept my apologies...
