Default 350z All around car mainly track road corse and also drag

So I blew my diff and I think I should start off by buying a built diff any recommendations where to get one? I’m going for a 500 hp street car but that I can also do pulls and take it to the track during the weekend
if you have websites to buy built stuff or know companies that build parts for zs please let me know thank you and also
I take advice from everyone please and thank you

Also, check the classifieds here for a fully built LSD. Just sold a Wavetrac LSD a few months ago and you might want to look at a Quaife or a NISMO in your search...

Limited slip diffs (LSDs) come in several forms. A Quaife LSD functions as an open diff until it senses a loss of traction on one side and uses helical gears to transfer power. A mechanical LSD like the NISMO uses a series of clutches to mechanically transfer power. The Wavetrac is a bit of a combination of these concepts, using a wave-like center section to sense slip and transfer power. All of them are more effective and durable than the viscous LSD (VLSD) that was the only factory diff option on the Z33/34.

From what you posted at the start of this thread, it sounds like you need a completely assembled LSD to replace the damaged one in your car. Depending on how badly your diff is damaged, you might be able to use some parts to rebuild the diff. I suggest you do more research to understand your options and how much each of these LSDs cost. Getting a pre-built LSD is more expensive, but will be easier to install and run. Be wary about how the traction changes whenever you try a new LSD, as the increased traction be abrupt and can throw you off the road if you jump on it too hard.

Thats a lot of information! Thank you Really Appreciate it!
I blew my diff it isn’t to the point where it doesn’t put power to the wheels but it is pretty bad.... my buddies told me to just get a built one something that can hold abuse because the factory diffs are bad
