Since all the experts hang out on this thread (and I sincerely mean that), I have a question about the quaife diff. When installed in a non base model, the passenger side stub axle has to be cut (modified). I found a thread on here where one guy was having problems with his modified passenger side stub axle popping out.

How do you guys think the car would react if the passenger side stub axle popped out at high speed and under boosted power?

With a Quaife, you would loose all the go. It would be like lifting one tire on the rear. You can buy the correct stub axle from Z1 if you need one.

I'm just wondering if that's what could have caused my car to immediately go into a spin when I was doing the third gear pull. The guy I sold the quaife to has had the passenger side stub axle pop out twice on him.

Here's a pic of my stock VLSD axle stubs and the modded Z1 axle stub. The OS Giken has to use the modded stub too. You can see that the snap ring location is different between the left and right sides also.

I assume if the passenger side wasn't cut to the right length then it wouldn't snap into place and have a tendency to pop out? Like I mentioned, it's happened twice to him and I wonder if that's what happened to me.

If it's not the stub axle then I would assume maybe it's a failed snap ring? Quaife warranties their diffs for life, I wonder if it might not be a bad idea to send it to them and see if it's a warranty issue.

The stub in the middle is the one that gets replaced with the one on the right. The snap ring location is different between the two. It's easy to break a snap ring when you install the one stub.

On my Quaife unit for the base auto 3.357 diff (non vlsd-open) both of my stub shafts are identical

With the base open diff there are no modifications needed to the stub shafts, only the vlsd model.

I have a VLSD in the Sport Touring Z, everything is still put together...so I don’t have a clue what it’s like....still the same gear ratio.
Madwi’s 3.692 Sport VLSD had 2-different length shafts

Yep, the passenger side shaft has to be cut down on the sport vlsd.
