I would just like a simple answer will a 35.Z diff fit or not because and aftermarket one is x3 more and I need to know how much to.save for. Sick of going into my driveway and the stupid open diff spinning the wheel which has less traction which is the one in the air

Why dont YOU have a look at the mounting positions, the stub axle bolt patterns and make up your mind, or are you waiting for someone to magically say yeah I changed the Diff in my white V35 VQ25DD sedan to a 350z one and it worked?

Do you want a LSD if its going to make your car signifigantly slower? Thats what we are telling you to check!

Can't swap the stub axle over, they have different spline configurations. Can you swap the Outside flange off the stub axle! Or swap over to 3.5 litre driveshafts.

And you still don't know if your going to a longer diff, making the car slower.

Good luck.

Btw, super random first post, what are you doing here.....?

Ok I reread your post , all good much easier to just swap the flanges from the original diff to the vlsd . I don't know why there isn't more information on the net about it , it' just seems like such an easy swap to something factory and a lower price than an after market product

Ok, I read and tried to understand your post. But I'm failing.

What are you trying to Swap? from what to what?

Maybe this will explain a bit better

Compare the pair....

Your original

Z33

http://www.importmon...791.jpg&title=Z Z33 R VQ35DE

Doesn't look like it would work, agree?

The flanges on the pictures on these diffs , the vlsd has the evenly spaced 6 holes to bolt the axle to the flange , where as the original v35 diff has 6 holes but 3 paired ...

So I was looking at the possibility of swapping the "stub axles" the part that slides into the diff to allow the shafts the mate with the diff ..

Now seeing the pictures that youbhave posted looks like the stub axle is longer obviously . So changing the full axle may be the trick

Hi

I'm also consider going to a LSD in my car but its a 300GT. Its diff ratio is a 3.13 ratio so if I go to a quaife will that mean quicker acceleration but lower top end?

Will be doing a engine swap next year but keeping the gearbox as its the same as the standard VQ35 so built to handle the power.

Cheers

A quaife will not change the ratio of your diff. It is a part that fits in the centre, not part of the gears. We were talking about a wholesale pumpkin (the whole unit) change.

That being said, might be wise if the stub axle flange fits, getting a manual 350z vlsd diff (3.5:1) as it would give you a useful boost in acceleration, as well as the LSD component.

Top end isn't really something to worry about, as long as cruising rpm is still comfortable. Really taken your car past 240kmh? Otherwise not going to effect you.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
