I would just like a simple answer will a 35.Z diff fit or not because and aftermarket one is x3 more and I need to know how much to.save for. Sick of going into my driveway and the stupid open diff spinning the wheel which has less traction which is the one in the air

Why dont YOU have a look at the mounting positions, the stub axle bolt patterns and make up your mind, or are you waiting for someone to magically say yeah I changed the Diff in my white V35 VQ25DD sedan to a 350z one and it worked?

Do you want a LSD if its going to make your car signifigantly slower? Thats what we are telling you to check!

Can't swap the stub axle over, they have different spline configurations. Can you swap the Outside flange off the stub axle! Or swap over to 3.5 litre driveshafts.

And you still don't know if your going to a longer diff, making the car slower.

Good luck.

Btw, super random first post, what are you doing here.....?

Ok I reread your post , all good much easier to just swap the flanges from the original diff to the vlsd . I don't know why there isn't more information on the net about it , it' just seems like such an easy swap to something factory and a lower price than an after market product

Ok, I read and tried to understand your post. But I'm failing.

What are you trying to Swap? from what to what?

Maybe this will explain a bit better

Compare the pair....

Your original

Z33

Doesn't look like it would work, agree?

The flanges on the pictures on these diffs , the vlsd has the evenly spaced 6 holes to bolt the axle to the flange , where as the original v35 diff has 6 holes but 3 paired ...

So I was looking at the possibility of swapping the "stub axles" the part that slides into the diff to allow the shafts the mate with the diff ..

Now seeing the pictures that youbhave posted looks like the stub axle is longer obviously . So changing the full axle may be the trick

Hi

I'm also consider going to a LSD in my car but its a 300GT. Its diff ratio is a 3.13 ratio so if I go to a quaife will that mean quicker acceleration but lower top end?

Will be doing a engine swap next year but keeping the gearbox as its the same as the standard VQ35 so built to handle the power.

Cheers

A quaife will not change the ratio of your diff. It is a part that fits in the centre, not part of the gears. We were talking about a wholesale pumpkin (the whole unit) change.

That being said, might be wise if the stub axle flange fits, getting a manual 350z vlsd diff (3.5:1) as it would give you a useful boost in acceleration, as well as the LSD component.

Top end isn't really something to worry about, as long as cruising rpm is still comfortable. Really taken your car past 240kmh? Otherwise not going to effect you.

      Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      By romel · Posted

      Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?

      Hence why I said earlier that I don't think the turbo Neos ever would have actually qualified as an LEV. I suspect the only actual LEVs that came out of Nissan were the NA Neos. Still call them all Neos. They all stil have the Neo-ness. Just that they don't all qualify as as LEVs.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By sucram · Posted

      It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car
