There is a different offset for the AT's and the MT's. It looks like we are going to do units to replace the MT differential as a straight replacement. The AT guys, will have to change the ring and pinion to suit. If you have information opposing, please let me know."

What does that mean, will the AT guy need to use a 3.5:1 ratio, or can they stick with a 3.3. I ask this , since I'm currently at 3.5:1 with the 6mt, but intend to swap down to 3.3:1 for more effective TT use. ??
Glad you are keeping tabs on this. I have my money saved up for this + installation costs so I'd definitely be in on this when it's released. I see that you have a KAAZ already. Are you going to switch to a Quaife? And if so is it because the Quaife would be a better choice for you as a daily driver?

yup, plan to switch, better choice for DD like you mention and also longer lasting and lower maintenance... I don't expect a huge diff in performance, the KAAZ hooks up pretty damn nicely, you just feel it in parking lot speed turns...
i got a little more info from Quaife, the design is final, production run is in process as we speak, they just can't commit to when, guess on My350z is May/June...

Anyone have an update on this unit? Thanks.
I think based on the prices of the other Nissan applications, an educated guess would be around $1,500. Maybe the initial run will be discounted through a group buy somewhere???

Yes, that'd be a good point of reference. However, I'm looking to setup the group buy and really hoping to get us all a better deal. We'll see ... keep yall fingers crossed.

Minor update.
We're shooting for end of June availability. The estimate is far from being set in stone, so the usual disclaimer applies. What I can say is they are already 'in production' at the factory. Cost figures is still yet to be release at the this point. I personally do not expect the street price to be far from other Quaife LSD offerings.
