Default Help ID this differential

I'm a bmw guy but I got this diff from a local auction in a lot. Looks new, is a lsd, I can tell it's from a nissan from ebay pics I believe . Any help would be great so I know what I have. Then figure out what to do with it.

Looks like a 350z differential. Definetly not a 240sx/j30/300zx/r32/r33 differential

If you knock out the side flanges/output shafts you should be able to tell if it's vlsd or not.

what about pulling the cover and checking it that way? I believe it's a 3.3 for an automatic. What would I look for if I pulled a side flange ? Also whats it worth ?

You can probably get upwards to $300-400 for it. I see VLSD cores go for $200 on craigslist every two months or so. Since you still have pumpkin that'll probably bump the price a little

You can pm helldorado about it - he's on here once in a awhile and has some experience with the different diffs. You can also post on nicoclub.com as all the nissan guys (from 240 on up) hang out there and they've done all types of diff swaps.

Does both of the stubs spin the same way when turning one of them?

if they spin the same way then it is a lsd

put a white mack on the input shaft. spin the stub shaft. count the revolutions. If it make 3 and a half then it is a 3.5 if it only make 3 and 1/4 then it is a 3.3.

You still will have no Idea how many miles that are on it or how it was used.

By the way you should have taken my offer.

well it's definantly a lsd. Both hubs turn same direction. It's a 3.357 vsld for a 03-06 ( possibly 07) 350Z automatic. 3.357 ratio only came in those years per nissan. Opened it up and it's clean clean clean. I decided to Flea Bay it. It's on there now. I don't recall any offers from here also,
