What to do w/ oem vlsd and 3.5 fg?

So I had Tsquare rebuild my pumpkin w/ quaife atb and 3.7 fg. They shipped back my oem vlsd (w/ 12k miles on it), as well as the 3.5 fg and 6 m/t flanges (equal length flanges required for atb).

So, my question is do you think I should hold on to these parts, try to sell them, or trash em?

I don't think I'll ever have a need to swap out the parts as the quaife has a lieftime warranty and am happy w/ the 3.7 fg. Right now, they're taking up space (and weigh a lot) in my rented storage container that is already filled to the max like a full tetris game. lol.

What do you guys think?

sell them if you can. someone somewhere needs an oem replacement. no sense in just throwing them away.

Thx for the advice! Any idea on what would be a fair price for the 3.5 fg and vlsd w/ 12k miles?

jonnylaw... I'm keeping mine - I keep all OEM to offer buyer whenever I sell the car... I did think about selling the 3.3 FD since FI always want ‘em... but I figure I might put the car stock when comes time to sell then sell all mods separate... or offer car modded and add that all OEM parts are still here.

Just a re-sale advantage to me...

Lost of 3.3's will by your 3.5 though! And you definitely can sell the vlsd too… before going the route you did, I was looking into 3.5 and OEM vlsd – I think the few used I found were in the 300-450 range… check the marketplace here and my350Z… you’ll get a pretty good idea what they are selling for.

right on man... I wish I had known sooner, could have panned something... I'm not sure you'll get this post before you leave - if so PM me if you are going to be in LB or OC for any length of time... also Tinman (Steve) has put together a G and 350Z get together Sat (not far from Long Beach and reasonable drive from SD)... if you are able you should come and hang out... It's in the So Cal regional thread... BTW - I'm about 15 minutes from the LB airport today and tomorrow...

I don't think you'll get much if you try to sell them and what you get for them might not be worth the hassle if some body has issues afterwards. Even if you tried to sell the OE parts for dirt cheap, it ends up costing almost as much with install as buying a new pumpkin and and definitely more than a pumpkin from a junkyard.

I ended up giving my leftover parts to a friend who is an Infiniti Master Tech since he does a lot of gear work as a side business.
