Honest to God, I thought there would be DOZENS sold the first week.Anybody who drives in a spirited fashion around town, especially those with plans to go FI, would do well to get one of these while the early-bird special buy-window is still open. I will make arrangements to have mine installed as soon as I can, and I will be happy to provide feedback as it develops...

^^^Thats a great idea....can't wait to see all the reviews^^^
I'll also be road testing the customer's car, on which we are installing the Quaife, as well as the APS TT kit, and some other goodies. I'll post my impressions next week.
I am interested to see how the Quaife compares to the ATS Carbon LSD...also very highly rated.

Thanks Darren.....your will be shipping today!
I do recall the original interest list for the Quaife that THX started several months ago, had well over 30 people on it...where did they all go?

Still have a set of Open Diff Stub Axles with 950miles on them for sale....perfect condition. (Switched to LSD Stub Axles when I installed a Kazz Diff.) Make me an offer, cheaper than buying new, but in as new condition.

You could always take a look at the ATS carbon LSD...direct swap for the VLSD guys, and MUCH MUCH quieter than the Nismo.

That is a question better answered by the 350EVO folks. If the 3.9 gear set is a plug and play affair into the oem OPEN diff., then the Quaife should accomodate it no problem, as it doesn't altered the ring and pinion gear offsets.

For hard core tracksters, the ATS is not the best way to go either. Even ATS admits that the carbon get slower lap times.

I just dont think most people will enjoy the Nismo LSD on the street. The car I sampled was down right embarrassing to drive in a parking lot due to the barking, locking, and skidding. And this unit was installed properly at a Nissan dealership that does a LOT of aftermarket mod installs.

Sharif, What will be your price for the diff after the group buy? I'm considering it heavily, but I don't close on my house until at least wednesday and won't have the $ till then.

Retail is $1495 plus shipping which is about $30. Most shops dont discount these much at all.
However, my everyday price will be the lowest around, at $1470 shipped. When I order 4-5 at a time, I can get much better pricing on them, vs. one at a time.
THE GB pricing will remain until Wed...PM me if you need a one day extension. You can place the order, and in the comments section, just let me know when its OK to charge the CC.
