I have a Nismo 2 way LSD that I bought recently. I am leaving to go study in Florence for 3 months starting the 5th of Feb. Should I install it before I go or after? I heard that I have to change the oils which is no problem to me but since I am not gonna be here, should I just wait til I get back in May. Please let me know with all your input. Thanx.

I bought mine back in june, and it sat for 7months until it was installed recently. never changed the oils during that time. but, i made sure that the oil covered and penetrated all the essential areas before it sat for that time. It can sit for that period of time, just make sure its still sealed it inback so as to not let the moisture dissapate.
