there's quite a few people on the board here with the OSG LSD. based on my own knowledge of owning a VLSD equipped car, if you have a quaife that required you to buy another driver side (short) stub axle, then you have everything you need for the OSG. that means, you have 2 short stub axles (our VLSD's came with 1 short, 1 long stub axle). simply swap, replace bearings and seals.

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.
