Using the same shims is a good place to start and you could just have gotten lucky, but even the same model of differential may use different shims. The worry here is not only the play side to side of the carrier but the contact pattern between the pinion and crown gears. You definitely need to make sure the contact is centered on the ring and there are charts for this. Maybe you did this and didn't mention it but for those watching and reading the comments, its important to know.
I definitely didn't use a chart I put the differential back exactly the same way I took it apart but with the brand new LSD. It was my 1st time doing it and so far it's been running like a champ change the oil on it a couple times and everything looks good🙏🙏
99% on the Tube don't have a FSM, dial indicator, or marking compound. You just put it back where you found it. Sometimes a bigger hammer is needed tho... ;)
I would have that differential checked. There’s a reason professionals use dial indicators and paste to see contact on the ring and pinion. If it’s not done right it’s a waste of time and money.
I hear you on that 🙏. It's been over a year and I have no problems with it. If I ever take it out again I will have it checked but since I have had it on I have no problems whatsoever.🤙
Thanks for the video bro. Have 2011 QX56 AWD and the bushings golf the rear diff have some play that’s causing a loud noise. The dealer says the bushing aren’t sold separately and that we’d need to get a whole new diff or get a used one to swap. Have you had any experience finding after market PU and replacing them (I see the middle one in the video doesn’t have the bushings).
Super awesome, love your channel and videos. I recently replaced all my rear diff bushings too, and started thinking about some diff upgrades.... sadly I don't know how many options us AWD guys have :( I have a 2010 g37x sedan. The front of the rear diff where you connect the main driveshaft looks way different than yours in this video. Looks like yours are held on with what, just 3 bolts? I think mine has like 6 lol
Thank you so much for watching my videos the flange that you are talking about can easily be changed if you take off your diff that is one option you have 🤙🙌🙏
I got a 06 g35 coupe 6MT..so basically I have an VLSD? So what type of differential fluid should I buy ? Can I use the same redline like in your video ? Do I have to buy one that says it’s for lsd with added additives? Or will I be ok with. Any 75w90 or 80w90??
Hey bro I have a welded diff on my 2012 g37s sedan m/t I’m planning on swapping it out, can any older g37s fit with carrier case or have to open it and swap it that way?
You picked the best diff oil. REDLINE is a real synthetic, not like the $25.00 a gallon big oil gear lubes which are only Group 3 with no synthetic base.
It's possible but it's a lot of work You will need the harness from the car and the engine harness unless you have someone make a jumper. That would be cool but you're better off boosting your existing car or getting another one for this kind of project
Hey I have a 13 Infiniti base model and looking to swap my open diff for a VLSD.I’m N/A so my car doesn’t really do too much heating but I do drift/slide and race here and how long do you think it will last me till it becomes an open diff?
Does doing this differential/VLSD swap on a g35, will it cause it to lock it up and spin out ?

Brother ur infos r awesome. I am hoping that you can assist me here. My 2009 FX35 rwd is in need of a DIFF. BUSHING. Infiniti does not sell this diff bushing separately. Do you know of a diff bushing in the after market, that will be a fit. I can not find any info for the FX35 2009, on the tube, about this DIFF BUSHING. And Infiniti want to replace the sub frame, just to get this job done. Any advice or info on this issue, from you (or anyone else), will be appreciated, thanks.
Hello thanks for watching! So I have some good news and bad news for you. The good news is that they do sell after market bushing replacements which I highly recommend.. The bad news is that you would have to do the work. As long as you are mechanically inclined You can do this job. There's no need to change your subframe out. Here is the website where you can get the rear bushing. I recommend you change all bushings.

@@drizzlegod2928 I want to say yes because they look identical but I haven't had one of each in front of me. I assume that they are the same size and the ring gear and pinion gear should be the same. But off the top of my head I'm not going to say yes because I've never opened one up before. 🙏 I know the pumpkins are different but not by too much.
You think Vlsd is a good option for all motor then? How much is the comparison price wise on vlsd and the z1 package? Great videos by the way I enjoy the content on your channel 😎🤙
Thank you my man I really appreciate you! Yes you can get away if you are NA but if you track the car. Don't count on it. My upgraded differential was about $1200 it's honestly not that much work and worth the money. Well honestly. I can't say that yet I haven't even tried it out LOL. I'll be installing it tomorrow morning 😁

Will a hr 2008 vlsd fit on a 2012 g37 journey??
Love the content bro, keep it up, you’re very educated on these cars. Do you think I could put a lsd in my g37x without messing with the front diff?
I don't see why not. TBH I would check with Z1
I hope you have a video on how to change the bearing and the shim inside
Thank you very informative.
Np! Thank you for watching!

I don't think that's true. I would dig and keep looking for more resources for those bushings

I am not sure if your car is equipped with V LSD but yes you can use those oils🙌🙏🤙
I have a sport coupe model of the 370z that has the VLSD. When it dies I'm going to replace it with a Wavetrac diff.
Hey bro I have a welded diff on my 2012 g37s sedan m/t I’m planning on swapping it out, can any older g37s fit with carrier case or have to open it and swap it that way?
You can use any G37 differential as long as it's MT. You don't need to open it just swap it out unless you are putting an LSD
You picked the best diff oil. REDLINE is a real synthetic, not like the $25.00 a gallon big oil gear lubes which are only Group 3 with no synthetic base.
Whats a good link to buy new polyurethane mounts ? Have to replace mine on a 07 M45. Thx
I'm not sure if they will fit but it doesn't hurt to try I would try Z1 or eBay
I'm looking for M37 RWD's differential bushing. It's not on Z1 or eBay either. If you know how, please help me.
Sorry for the late response I would take the chance and buy one for a G37 or Q50 and try it out
Hello,
I hav a QX60 suv, and I would like to swap the engine with a Red 400 or a 3.7
Any thoughts ?
It's possible but it's a lot of work You will need the harness from the car and the engine harness unless you have someone make a jumper. That would be cool but you're better off boosting your existing car or getting another one for this kind of project
I got a auto g37 sedan and i’m thinking of getting a lsd diff from a manual g37 sedan would it fit ?
Yes. But you will need to change the flange on the diff. 6mt and 7at are different
Would this diff build fit my 09 coupe g37 manual ?
No. These are automatic diffs. However. U can make it work by changing out driveshaft flange🤙
Hey I have a 13 Infiniti base model and looking to swap my open diff for a VLSD.I’m N/A so my car doesn’t really do too much heating but I do drift/slide and race here and how long do you think it will last me till it becomes an open diff?
^what he said
Like is there preventative maintenance (changing fluid more often) for this or is it bound to happen for everyone? I’m very curious
Did you do it?
@@a.c5780 no didn’t was about to buy a z1 lsd because figured it will last longer but crashed my car before I could purchase it
I have a 2011 G37s that’s making clunking noise when I shift and it’s an automatic. The rear differential has a lot of play.
Could be your mounts. Common problem on these
I have a Q50 3.0T and i just got a VLSD. Would it be alright for a couple of freeway runs before heating up?
Yea you'll be good. You won't feel a difference. Just be careful if u do digs
@@INFINITIBROTHERS What happens with digs? Snapping axels?
@@Levi-dz7zx no. When the grease lossens up the diff is basically an open diff. Your car will act like one of those mustangs that loses control

If you are talking about the pinion and ring gear. Yes.🤙🙏

What's good I have a 2011 Infiniti m56x can I put in a qualfe in my car?
I don't see why not my man you would have to call a shop and confirm that try Z1
Thanks bro already on it .! Spoke to some one . The rest history!
