Any suggestions on where to get a used VLSD? Haven't seen anything on ebay... Any good junkyards you guys know of that might have one? Any idea how much cost a good used one would be?

Thanks

ok so from what I understand ALL (G35 and 350's) Auto's come with the 3.3 and the Stick ones are the ones with the 3.5. Whats the advantages with a 3.5 from a 3.3 and an auto.

I have a 03 Sedan Auto with VDC and I just want a VLSD with working VDC. What do I need to get? And what can I use?

The Auto G35x has the 6mt 3.5


I dun understand how the new G can get such great MPG with a 3.7

ttrank, I wouldn't suggest going with an OEM vlsd for yourself since you are turboed and have substantially more power than stock. the lockup percantage on Nissan oem vlsd's are pretty low, somewhere around 25% I believe. hardly performance inspiring. more of a safety device that can be easily overpowered when pushing it. i would suggest looking into aftermarket mechanical lsds, namely quaife or an ats carbon lsd.

Agreed. However, for stock power level, there are magazine testings showing that the oem VLSD on the 350z actually outperforms some clutch type/ mechanical LSD. I am pretty happy with the 3.5 VLSD swap

Go to mynismo.com or email tony@riverside infiniti ...mynismo.com has plenty of info on the vlsd. Tony would be able to hook you up on a OEM VLSD for a g35 without a problem.
