Installing a 370z NISMO Differential on my G35 Coupe!! (3.916 Gears)

If the diff will make the car quicker, why wouldn't it be worth it just because you have to buy the axles?

[@JoeVazquez]

I found a loophole to it, you don’t need to buy new ones and you save money that way

What’s best for 0-100 ?gear ratio I was thinking 3.6-4.09 including 3.9 ?

@@JoeVazquez You're welcome man! I do a lot of research myself before buying upgrades for my 06 G35 sedan 5AT, just so I know what I'm getting, how it will effect performance, NVH etc. You should get a Z1 poly trans mount! I have one on mine, and the ENTIRE drivetrain on my G35 is planted due to the poly trans mount and Z1 poly diff bushings!

i have a 2008 base model z , with an open diff , should i weld it or throw in a 370z vlsd ? both manual

Thanks so much for the great video Joe! 2 questions for you: - in your opinion what's a reasonable range of prices for this diff? -what's your gas mileage at now?

[@JoeVazquez]

Of course man! 1: reasonable price would be somewhere in the 350 dollar range, max 500 for a 3.69 for a low mileage one, I paid 800 for the nismo diff but because it’s a 3.9 final drive and it only had 20k miles 2: as far as gas mileage in these couple days driving, I haven’t really noticed much difference! If i want to save gas I could just skip gears but I really can’t tell a difference in that department!

[@chodkowski01]

@@JoeVazquez it’s only top end that you would notice the difference. I changed from a 35 profile tire to a 30 profile and that gave me a final drive of 4.02.

Question bro I want to buy a nismo differential on ebay but it says it's from a automatic does it make a difference if it's from a manual or a automatic bro

[@JoeVazquez]

Automatic is 3.69 ratio not a 3.9 so you’ll be overpaying for a 3.69 final drive when you can buy a manual g37 or 370 diff that’ll be the exact same for cheaper

Nice bro . I have a g37s with a 3.69 diff is it worth it for me to get a 3.9 diff .

[@3cinco76]

Wassup joe. What’s your opinion on having a cold air intake and plenum spacer or swapping the manifold and adding a kintex one will I lose power ?

[@JoeVazquez]

Cheapest way is definitely cai and plenum spacer! I like the stainless steel kinetix manifold more for how easy it is to access everything than the performance you get out of it! It’s like 6 bolts to remove it and you can access your injectors, etc.

[@JoeVazquez]

As for power, it’ll be pretty similar so I’d just go the cheap route and spend that extra you save on test pipes, that’ll make a bigger difference than a kinetix manifold alone

[@3cinco76]

@@JoeVazquez well all I need now is a plenum spacer and test pipes, thanks for the info.

[@JoeVazquez]

Those two will make a noticeable difference honestly! Both help with the restricted power from the runners on the intake and the restriction from the cats!

Could I use an auto diff from 370z on my manual g35 coupe?

So if I wanted to say fuck it and not have abs I could just buy any nismo diff then change the flange all that cut the stubby thing would it work and work good ?

[@JoeVazquez]

Not any nismo diff, manuals are 3.9 And autos are 3.6, depending on what you’re looking for. 370z’s don’t need a flange change only g37 autos. I personally would not drive my car without abs, specially for a daily or track driving. I found out recently You can change the abs ring from your g35 onto the 370 stub axle so you don’t need to buy new stub axles!

Good call on the stub axle swap over. Keeps the ABS an cruise control working. Didn't do that an now I'm w/out them. An as you know, it's no fun on your back swapping that thing out, so I'm a just live with it. Went w/3.69 out of a G37.

Shorter gear ratio = the higher the number 3.9 gear Longer gear ratio = the lower the number 3.3 gear

[@oliverelizalde]

Nice video bro so what would you say would happen if a stock open diff got swapped with a 3.9 nismo lsd? 🤔

[@JoeVazquez]

It’s the open diff stub axles that are shorter than the vlsd ones so you wouldn’t be able to use them, what I’ve heard is that you can remove the ring gears with the teeth and swap them onto the 370 ones but I haven’t confirmed it!

@@erickabundis7952 the g35’s have a 2 piece bearing that you need to press out and press in to the old part, sometimes both parts are toast so you have to buy both parts which gets really pricey since you’d have to buy 4 to replace both sides and then press them, so buying 370z bearings is great because they’re a one piece design so that’s great!
