I know who you are =). I just didnt know your screen name. I am thinking i will get the brakes and wait for a poly bumper on the marketplace. I am debating if i wanna be ghetto enough to just paint the bottom of my car too until I get enough for the full aero.

^no, only for the auto diff. since it's from a MT is direct swap to V35s, both 5AT & 6MT.

better explanation from a DIY
Quote: 2007+ G35/G37 VLSD (3.692) swap into base 2008 350Z (3.538)

The car we worked on was a 2008 350Z base with and open non-locking rear differential. The goal was to swap in a LSD at a cost conscious price. After doing some research we decided to try on of the newer G35 differentials with VLSD and a gear ratio of 3.692. This gained our solution of a cost effective LSD and as a bonus had a bit better gearing 3.692 versus the 3.538 that came stock.

Our donor differential came from a 2008 Infiniti G35 6MT. You can see a comparison of the two differentials below. As you can see from the picture they have the same case as well as all the same flanges. The only items that needed to be swapped over from the old differential was the ABS sensors as the donor differentials had individual plugs and the old had one merged plug.



After the sensors were swapped over we put in some fresh fluid into the donor differential and bolted it in. We drove it around for a little while just to let the fluid spread inside the diff and let the diff have a little movement. After that the owner let it rip and his impressions are that it is like a completely different car.

We believe this was a worthwhile and cost effective modification using OEM parts.

The donor diff came from a 2008 G35 6MT and interchanges with the vehicles below:

INFINITI G37 2009 Cpe and Sdn, Rr, RWD, locking, MT (3.692 ratio)
INFINITI G37 2008 (RWD, 3.692 ratio), locking, MT
INFINITI G35 2008 (4 Dr, Sdn), Rr, RWD, locking, MT
INFINITI G35 2007 Rr, RWD, 4 Dr (Sdn, 3.692 ratio), locking, MT

The differential from the Auto version can also be used but you will need to move the driveshaft flange from your old differential as the Auto versions use a 3 bolt flange.

Riverside Meet
this is what i asked rick


Quote:
Quote: hay sir,

i was wondering if you could reserve up to 15-20 spaces for us SD people. we should be arriving early, since were coming from SD. Please let me know so i can organize the group and caravan. Also do you know what kind of specials will be giving out that day

That's not a problem at all we will go ahead and mark off 20 spots for you guys. The earlier you guys get here the better so we wont have to give away any spots in case more people show up then expected.

As for the specials, we will have EVERYTHING on sale that day, OEM and JDM, trust me man you guys will never see these prices anywhere else, me and Tony have been working hard to get these prices for everyone.

Rick


so lets show up strong and early so we can have our spots, ill be setting up meeting points and a caravan. we cant lag on this one.

I could use it, but would much wish it was a 4.08 but could still benefit me.

Anybody want my OEM 3.5 VLSD diff with new fluid?
