Default VLSD?

Does anyone know if an 05G35 VLSD will work in a 07350Z Base Pumpkin? Also will the stock OEM axle shafts from a 07-08 Enthuziest model fit the 05G35 VLSD?

open diff axles do not work in VLSD... VLSD has 1 long and one slightly shorter than the two open axles that are the same... pumpkins are the same

Axle shafts are the same, but you will need the proper VLSD stub shafts to do the swap.

Really not worth it, your looking at
$300 for stubs
$120 for fresh bearings and seals
$200 for a driveline shop to set it up (if you hand them just the 3rd member)
$650+ total after fluid etc etc and you have an LSD that offers a max of 30% lock when in perfect form. Over heat it a couple times and its trash.

If you must get a VLSD, you can find a used 3rd member with stubs for $200 to $300 is the best bet.

IMO, save your money and install a real diff, if you need an LSD. A VLSD is only good for driving to and from the grocery store.

+1
However, I would go as far as recommending that no Z should be driven without a proper LSD
