Did you drill out the subframe and how did you re-allign?

If you are referring to just running 370 axles and hubs on a 350 subframe then yes you are golden. I cannot speak for swapping subframes though.

found someone parting out a 370z local to me, it's just the axle and bearing/hub I need? no knuckle or anything else? and did anyone figure out where the extra 10mm comes from?

Sorry to open a dead thread, but at least I searched first....
I noticed that Z1 motorsports has different axles from 09-10 and then 11- on. Does anyone know which axles they are using? early or late?
There is a length difference.
Sometimes sizes matters.....

Thanks for the quick reply. To cut a long story in half, I had already bought the 350z Value Advantage replacement axles. When compared side by side with my factory ones, they were a lot cheaper looking. They are lighter, the joints don't hold shape as well and the boot rubber looked like they were half as thick as the originals. I ended up using my originals and not using the VA Nissan parts. (Mistake). I originally sandblasted the rust off my originals and repainted them to look nice for my transplanted OEM LSD, but was too aggressive with the media (black beauty). So I put them off balance by enough to cause a vibration starting at around 80mph.
Then over the weekend, I saw thread about 370z replacements and found the Z1 motorsport confirmation of what I read.
I would rather source some used OEM axles and buy some new complete bearing assemblies and mounting hardware.
Anyone like to get brand new VA Nissan 350z axles for 25% off? Never even mounted. $225 plus shipping.....

interested possibly in the stock axles that Rusty had for sale I'm at the crossroads currently with replacing complete left rear side something was causing extreme heat on the road or to the point that when I want to touch it see how what she was radiating from the brake disc I was fortunate because I play guitar and have nice thick calluses but it's the tediously the smoke rolled off the ends of my fingers yes the brake rotor was that hot something is causing the excessive heat and it sounds like a friction noise as if you've got brake pads dragging with that said not sure what is causing the issue but potentially it may be damaging something and we'll end up undoubtedly being a catastrophic failure on the rear end. It is undriveable like this logically the only thing that I knew that I could do is replacing all components brake pads the rotor looks usable but it's a possibility it could have rotor warp did not City hotspots but that doesn't mean that some of that noise may have been generated from exactly that rotor warpage although there are no braking issues with the vehicle at all! I suspected that it was the hub bearings! With that said I wish that I would have seen this post about using the 370 conversion it seems that there was quite an interesting subject going on with that. However in my logical ways of looking at things I think the jury is still out on on this matter I'm not dismissing the idea and realizing this is the older post and it maybe now fully acceptable to Interchange these parts without any issues. In question related on 350z/370 conversion does it require a conversion set up from Z1 or can you just adopt to the 370 without any additional requirements. Also with that said was something mentioned from this previous article I also to reacted to quickly squeezing the trigger on standard parts replacement from Amazon purchasing the 350 Z OEM wheel hub and bearing assembly. I would feel more secure with the 370 set up if that is working safely for others who have used this process because I did did note immediately the price differences and it was just a fluke that I came across this article today on this interesting subject of swapping out from the standard 350Z to the 370 Nissan Driveline components thank you so much you all have a great 20/20 race season and be safe!

And your comment is relevant to my response how? I stopped reading the quoted response 3 lines in. Lack of proper grammar takes away from the quality of the information contained within the statement.

Should have been directed at Paul not you.
I read through it, and his question has been answered here already multiple times.
