Differential discovery!

This is well known. The diff assemblies are identical, only change was the move from a 3.5 to 3.7 ratio

it is actually not a 100% straight forward swap, there was some slight modification required to make it fit, so I dont think you are correct in saying that all the switched was the gear ratio. The stub had to be modified to fit in the diff assembly correctly with the vlsd(long) stub from a 350z.

I just wanted to post up to give people some cheap options to upgrade to an lsd without spending 1500+. I didnt see anyone else on here post about this, so I did.

Yeah, you changed the same stub axle you would have needed to change if you put in the VLSD off another 370z....


This swap has been done countless times.
