So perhaps I missed it because I came into this thread referred by my.is but having recently done the OSGiken swap in our drift car I am curious...
Why did you need to replace the side bearings or did you reuse? It was unclear if you were installing the same conical thrust bearings or a different set. On the pinion, did you measure the gear engagement and decide you needed to reshim? Typically the precision on these Japanese units is such that no shimming is required.

Also the carrier looks remarkably like the IS300 housing. I just made some modular bushings for that case, I wonder if they will swap into this one.
