Quaife LSD
 

Hey guys,

I have searched around but couldn't find anything really. Is there a Quaife LSD for the 370Z/G37 pumpkins? Specifically looking for a Quaife to drop into a base pumpkin. Will the 350Z Quaife work?

Thanks!
John

check out the z1motorsports site they have it you need the qd11f for a 6speed, if you have a base you won't need any extra axles. you may wan't to get new bearings, seals, a shimpack and cross your fingers that you don't have to adjust the pinion height. have a good rear-end shop install it.

Thanks man.

Hmm, wonder why it isn't on Quaife's website. Wonder if it's the same unit as the 350Z one.

On Quaife's website, the one listed for a 350Z 6MT with open diff. is QDF11L.

yeah it's the same one

Bumping an old thread....

Can anyone who has installed or had a Quaife LSD installed comment on their experience with it?

Did this aforementioned items need to be addressed? i.e. bearings, seals, shimpack, pinion height?

I live in Fairbanks Alaska and will be driving my Z year round :) I have a base touring and thinking an LSD might do me some good.

Thanks

Bump!

Give Forged Pefromance a call on this matter. They've installed many of these along with other LSD. Like my OS Giken for that matter. They can answer about any question about LSD on our cars. Just click the link (pic) in my sig to get where you need to go.

I now know a good bit on what has to be done to install a LSD (well mine anyways) being I had one done but I'd feel alot better if they handled the answers.

I just ordered my Quaife LSD! I have the base model and did not buy anything except the differential unit itself. Ill post more when i get it installed.

Im currently doing some research on clutch/flywheel for my upcoming FI project. Getting the car ready! :tup:

Yea let us know how it goes. I know you'll need some seals and bearing. I didn't need seals due to mine only had 1500 miles on the car. Best to replace them being your is a 09. The shop should know this though.

Interesting, wish they offered it as an installation kit with the LSD. Z1 claims no addition parts are required. Im assuming the bearings and seals are standard nissan parts?

Yes they are standered parts. I was told the side bearings are nearly impossible to remove without damage. They didn't replace my seals for they where brand new but you have a 09. Even though you have a different LSD I'm sure all diffs have this same principle.

Keep the info coming guys!! I PM'd Forged, just waiting to hear back and will hopefully have more info to add.

Just ordered mine :tup:

i had to replace my seals and reshim the backlash with different size shims new bearings also, and some grey rtv silicone for the cover. hope your pinoin height doesnt change or you will need to replace the seals, bearings, shims, crush sleeve and nut to adjust the pinion height.

Are you talking about the Quaife or the OSG?

You will have to remove the seals for the install and there basically impossible to remove without damaging. Being you have a 2011 (pending mileage) your bearings should be ok.

Some LSD require shims. But my OSG didn't to do the tight tolerences they build them to. I can't comment on the pinoin height. But being I had a base model Z I did require different stub axle. Different LSD require different needs.

i nstalled the quaife and really you may need shims any time you replace the bearings sometimes you get lucky and stuf fits the same why it did when you took it out and sometimes you don't. Also SPOHN you have them backwards you don't need to take the seals out but you will have to replace the bearings

^ that's correct. I always get that backwards. The side bearings need replaced.

Nice! thanks for the info guys. Still waiting for mine, not even a tracking number yet.

Who did you order from?

Z1, but i guess they are sent from the UK or something.. should get a tracking number soon.

Mine is shipping on the 29th .. Cant wait .....

My Quaife was delivered today!!

Now I just have to decide if I want to install it myself or let a professional do it...

*Edit - Z1 called me today saying my Dif should be showing up at my house today! :excited:

Any idea what is the recommend oil to be used on these?

they are non clutch type use a gl-5 75w-90 like redline, or just ask z1

Help... I need Shims.. Car has been down for a day and I need these .... Thanx !

Neverbonestck what diff are you installing?
