VLSD or open dif

Ok, so I glanced over the faq and did a couple searches on both 350z and g35 sites and came up with some potentially useful things, but I'd like to confirm my conclusions.

I grabbed a pumpkin from an 04 auto G35(dunno trim level) and I have been under the impression that all g35s came with vlsd regardless of trim level, yet this acts like an open dif when I spin one axle. My questions are:

Were my assumptions true?
Does a vlsd dif act like a mechanical one or an open dif in this case?

I just need the stub axles from a vlsd for my Z...if the vlsd is simply worn out and that's why it does that, it doesn't bother me.

I thought 03-04's didn't have VLSDs. Only in 05 it was part of the sports package, which was also available for autos.

03-04 only 6mt sport has VLSD
05-06 sedan/05-07 coupe autos could have with sport package.

I think thats about right. Just did about 30 sec search on various auto sites for the new cars and had that info listed int he specs.
