A VLSD will spin both half shafts in the same direction no matter what you do.
what if I oped the diff. what visual differences between them?

Open diff will be able to see small gears in a cage easily. LSD is more of a sealed unit.



Open diff on left, LSD on right (LSD is an aftermarket unit, but you get the idea)

Well. let's see if the seller is willing to pull the back cover off.

Yea, forget I asked that...saw it on the last page. Derp.

I'll make it easy:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-INFINIT...02afc7&vxp=mtr

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-INFINIT...02afc7&vxp=mtr

Those 2 are direct bolt ups. g37s 6mt is 3.7 vlsd, also with the 4 bolt flange that directly bolts up to our cars. Only thing you need to do is take off the 2 abs sensor cables from those and bolt on the one that will stay on the car when you drop down the current broken diff.

Even if you get the diff you're currently talking about, youll have to swap the flanges from your current diff to the new one - all g37 auto diffs come with 3 bolt flanges that won't directly bolt to your current driveshaft. Save yourself time/money, grab one from a 6mt g37s.

trust me...I literally just got done installing mine an hour ago.

edit: forgot to mention the journey CAN come with vlsd, but only via a package option at time of purchase. you'd need paperwork from the car to find out I'm guessing.
