My understanding is that people who have changed the rear end gear ratio with the 7A lose cruise. My question is, if I swap the entire differential, with the NISMO 7A, will the cruise work?

I have a bad pinion bearing at 55k miles and thinking of just swapping out the units, but not interested if it creates a secondary issue like non functional cruise.

Thanks
I can't directly answer your question but my educated guess would be yes and cruise control should work.

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.
