V35 Diff Weirdness - Need Stub Axle

As some of you may know I've been having lots of fun with my car lately

To get my car back on the road I need a replacement stub axle, to be precise I need the shorter of the 2 stub axles, anyone got one I could buy or know where I could get one as I'm not having any luck with the wreckers that I have called so far

I'm sightly baffled as to how I have ended up in this situation to begin with

Now to recap why I am baffled

My cars an auto V35 which "should" have been running an open diff just like every other V35 auto out there. Im pretty sure that my old diff was an open one because of the way it behaved around corners and how it seemed to light up one of my rear tyres when I took off quickly from a standstill

With that in mind I ordered a Quaife diff that was suited to the US base spec 350z which runs an open diff just like my car or so I thought

When the diff arrived and the install went ahead I ran into a problem where the longer stub axle was too long to fit into the new Quaife center and after searching the net came across Quaifs own solution of chopping off part of the longer axle to make it fit. Which up until now has worked fine

With more research it seems that the US base spec 350z which runs an open diff uses 2 equal length stub axles that fit perfectly into the quaife diff that I ordered to be a drop in replacement

The VLSD models run 2 different length stub axles in which case you order the diff for the VLSD equipped car and it bolts right up with the different length axles or you get the diff for the open diff 350z and do the chop on the longer stub axle like I ended up doing or you buy a shorter stub axle from a open diff 350z and replace the longer stub axle with the shorter one

Whats got me scratching my head is why has my auto V35 got the same stub axles as a VLSD equipped car ?

Anyone else got an auto V35 and pulled out the diff and noticed what the stub axle situation is?

Thanks for the post Nismo

I found niss4x4 last night didn't know they had V35's until I had a look just then. I paid for and asked them to send me the short stub axle out of one of the 350zs at about 4pm today. Hopefully they haven't pulled it out of the 350 as I'm still not 100% sure if its even the part that I need

Have quickly shot them an e-mail and asked them to pull out the shorter stub axle from one of the VQ35 powered V35s instead. Will give them a call in the morning to follow up the e-mail I sent

In other news I got a call today from my mother telling me that the auto box in her S13 had gone BOOM! whilst driving 500m away from her house. The workshop she went to wanted $1500 to replace it what a joke! 2nd hand auto SR boxes go for free to $500

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
