Quaife LSD Headache

If you have a VSLD, can you use the shorter shifts instead of cutting the long ones?

You will want to buy new ones. Z1 motorsports sells them.

Yes but which ones for a 2014? Can I just buy to LH replacements for the VLSD oem and use them? The LH is shorter than the right to my knowledge

Like Spooler said. Get the stub shaft from Z1. Make sure what type of stub to cv joint bolting you have. Bolted or through bolt with nut.

It the picture. You can see the stock stubs on the left and center. The Z1 stub on the right. Notice the location of the snap ring grooves. This is important. This holds your sub axle in place. If you cut off the stock stub. You run the risk of the stub coming out. The right stub replaces the sub in the center.

Yeap, why make things complicated. If you buy everything from Z1 they will hook you up to the best of their ability. Mind you, Nissan has done some things that have thrown them for a loop like my car did. Just know that they are the best knowledge because of the volume of upgrades they have done. They still can be thrown a curve ball to them like my car did. I took my car to have the OS Giken 1.5 way installed. I just bought another stub, so I needed 2. Glad I did it because the DSS Pro level axles require Nut and bolt. Not threaded.

Z1 is about $500 more than 3 other retailers selling. Also my last two orders from Z1 they sent the wrong part.

Okay I believe I have unthreaded given the year but will know when I get it off. So was the one on the left the cut stub? I was wanting to use OEM shafts as the Z1 products I bought in the past have broken and was not thrilled with the quality.

The left and center are the OEM stub out of my diff. The shiny one on the right is the one I got from Z1. The one on the left is uncut.

Hey rusty, just wondered if you could clear something up for me. I noticed in your pic of the three stub axles ,that the one you bought from z1 for your OS Giken diff is short like your Oem LH stub axle but the Z1 axle is tapered and yours is flat ! I thought if fitting an OS Giken diff to a VLSD equipped 370z you just needed to buy another LH short stub axle so you’d end up with 2 short non tapered axles for a VLSD equipped 370z but seeing your pic has me confused.
