I had an 2012 g37 7A (open diff) and i swapped in a 370z manual diff for the final drive advantage. If i was able to pull that off (cruise control worked), which is more complex than going from a 7A to another 7A, I can't imagine you having a ton of issues. They should have the same flange and everything but I'd see if you can confirm. I do hear people lose cruise control when going to the 4.08 final drive, but haven't seen any issues swapping OEM diffs. Just my personal experience, hope it helps.

What you have to watch out for is the bolting on the axle stubs. Is it through bolts with nuts, or just bolts that thread in?

The NISMO 7A differentials can be found cheap, so it seems to makes sense to swap the entire unit instead of trying to mess with the old one. |
