Default problem putting my quaife lsd into my car

i have a problem putting my quaife lsd into my car. i have a 2003 350z and got a quiafe qdf13L from intensepower.com i needed the qdf11L but they dont care to answer my phone calls or take care of their customers even when they send out the wrong parts..so now im trying to fit these stub axles in and one side wont fit. it looks like theres a c ring in the quife already on the side with 2 gear sets. is that supposed to be there? i thought they go on the stub axle first..any ways i have a stock vlsd diff the one with one short and one long side axles..i bought to short stub axles from an open diff and still cant figure out why its not fitting togather. please help

zach711f, call: 800-959-0145, ask for Adam. He works for TH Motorsports they are a Quaife distributior in IL. Even though you didn't buy it from him, he may help you. Their shop installs the Quaife, in fact, I will probably have mine installed by them next month. Let me know how it goes, good luck.

You need to shorten the other axlestub to make it fit. Other option is to order a new shorter axlestub but those are a bit expensive.

if you have a stock vlsd diff, the QDF13L is the correct differential for your application. Which I believe means you can re-use the factory stub axles from stock vlsd.

The QDF11L is for base model open diff 350z/g35

QDF13L - drop in for stock VLSD

QDF11L - drop in for stock open diff

OP, is your 350Z a base model?
