The Definitive Differential Thread

Hi,

If I understand correctly.
With a 7AT VLSD 370z car.
If I want to install a 350Z MT VLSD (or 370Z MT with VLSD) pumpkin on a 370Z 7AT car (or 370Z MT car) , with Quaife (QDF13L).
I'll need two short flanges.
2 solutions...
1) (driver) flange 38220-1NC1B and (passenger) flange 38220-1NC1A, and it need to cut the 38220-1NC1A flange. The 38220-1NC1A flange loses a spline length.
2) Buy two 38220-1NC1B flanges (because it's short) to use on the passenger and driver sides (without to cut). This way, I have a longer spline length on the passenger side... identical to the driver's side longer spline length and with a gasket too.

Correct?

in the solution number 2, with two 38220-1NC1B flanges , passenger and driver sides:
more longer spline length = more power transmission, or, more strong.
i will use two 38220-1NC1B flange, not flange 38220-1NC1A with cut, does 38220-1NC1B flange will have same comportment than flange 38220-1NC1A cut ?

for information, the pumpkin of the 350z MT (3.538) is identical (external) fixing points on the 370z 7AT, identical height for the drive shaft and the transmission universal joints as on the 7AT (3.357) 370z, no misalignment (on 2 European cars, 350z MT and 370z 7AT) with the axes, checked at 0.5mm on the fixing points on the chassis, and on the rotating axes.

38220-1NC1B = 38220-JK01B
38220-1NC1A = 38220-JK01A

Many thanks
