This is per the original for sale thread here:
SSR Type-F

I may be wrong about it, but the original poster says that the sport model would need a half shaft.

This LSD does come with a lot of extra parts though, I can lay them out and photo them if I need to.
I thought there was only one type which is for viscous only models in which would be sport models. Here's the link. If that was the case I would of bought one. What is your part number?

Quote from Sharif at Forged Performance on my install.
''Just to clarify with respect to the installation issues. We're very familiar with Nissan's habit of using different length and shaped stub axles in the various trims of 350Z. With the 370Z, the base model includes traction control but still an open differential. In the process they also elected to use a revised set of stub axles as well. So with 6 different stub axle choices even OS Giken wasn't entirely sure what ones to use. We ordered one short and one long axle in preparation for the installation. Upon inspection of the OEM parts we discovered that we need two SHORT stub axles NON TAPER with snap ring grooves/snap rings. Instead of sending Chris home and ordering a second short stub axle we machined and modified his existing axle to precisely the same measurements and tolerances of the OEM part which including machining a new snap ring groove. This is a substantial amount of extra time, but we didn't charge the customer of any of this and our objective was to complete the job as promised and get him on the road safely. Under normal circumstances no modifications are needed during install. Mission accomplished.''
