Question Differential Swap

I'm planning on swapping on my non-lsd diff to a lsd differential.
But the question is can i swap it with a manual diff on an auto tranny?

The diff is the same physical size but I'm not sure if the R&P are the same ratio.

ring / pinion. Basically meaning final drive ratio.

Oh, i would be changing those out to a higher ration for better acceleration for the track.
Well once i find out this can work out, im going to get it fully built with Cusco Type-MZ LSD, Central 20 3.9 R&P, and nismo rear diff cover.

I want that extra kick you know. I herd it can be done but i might lose my cruise control.

Does the auto G35S come with LSD or only manuals.
Not to be mistaken with VLSD.
