I was under the impression that the Quaife was the only thing you need, no axle stubs or anything like that? Zdayz 2015 woohoo!

We had to cut the stub axle on mine. I have the QDF13L model.

The wavetrace seems like the way to go if or when I become unhappy with the vlsd but sadly no AT option. So weird nissan made two diffs for the z. Oops maybe I'm wrong and the wavetrace can work with AT diff as well, vivid site specifies it for 6mt but z1 only specifies vlsd or open.

I've been running the Quaife for the past two years. The biggest issue I have with it is getting in driveways. Sometimes coming in at an angle will cause the rear ending to lift on one side - especially with aftermarket sway bars - and I can't accelerate. I have to plan ahead a bit on the driveway at my home with a bit of momentum otherwise the car will spin the wheel in the air and will go nowhere. When both wheels are on the road, it's been a solid unit. No problems in 20k miles and I can feel it working its magic in tight corners. Also makes for good empty parking lot fun.

But I've had the quaife for a year and it's been great at the track, especially combined with kw v3s. Only regret is not changing the final drive! If you're gonna split the pumpkin open and you have stock sport gearing definitely change it out, the gearing is too tall for most tracks |

If you are boosted this may not be true. On the tracks I run I find first and second gear to be to short and I wish I had more top end in third gear as I am always on the limiter, I need a cam upgrade so I can spin to 8K rpms or get taller gears.

I have the oil pump gear and ATI super damper....I asked twice and my tuner said he did not think it was a good idea unless I change the cam as well.

Quaif stays very cool and it is much lower maintenance then a clutch style. You probably can skip a diff cooler at track days. (I do).
True that it looses grip when lifting a rear wheel (and on ice and snow) but I love mine at the track. It also torque vectors so it kind of "pushes" you around turns helping with understeer on the exit or corners It is a good/ great option for a weekend warrior in fact I argue unless you a fully dedicated track car than it's the best choice (at least it was for me) Z1 knows what stuff you need to install based on your base setup. Be careful if you install a new stub axle that it has the same number of cogs in the ABS sensor "cog". My replacement from Z1 had a different cog and it was a bitch to figure out what was causing the intermittent Xmas tree of dash lights from the computer trying to make sense of the discrepancy!!! (The cog tells the computer how fast your wheel is turning).

BTW. Due to the expertise needed to getting the gear lash correct using a ton of different spacers this is not a DIY install. Perhaps have your shop order from Z1 if you are unsure about what supporting seals and parts etc you need.
This would be a good time to swap up to an aluminum finned (NISMO style)diff cover which will help keep your diff a bit cooler.
