LSD Question.
I tried searching and can't really find a straight answer.
I'm trying to buy a LSD for my car and I'm sure if I should get one for open diff or vlsd......
I have a 2008 BASE, does it have OPEN DIFF or VLSD??

There have been threads regarding fitment issues. My quaife has been bullet proof even after the improper installation by a shop that turned out to suck killed my 4.08 ring & pinion.
I have 20k total and 5k after reinstall of another 4.08 and it is great. Best mod my highly modded car has.

I would get either the tomei I or the quaife. They are both good lsds from what I've heard. This is the first time I have heard of fitment issues with the quaife, but everyone who get that one with the open diff in their ride says its a straight drop in. If you get the tome I, you have to get the additional parts from Nissan or someone who sales OEM parts to get the kit that will actually make it fit into yours. I did the same thing a while back. I hate to say this because I just recently had a bad experience with them not sending me stuff I paid for for 4 months, but contact Z-1 performance (z1 auto.com) or look it up. Adam and the guys can either sell you or give you the part numbers of the stuff you need for the install. My choice however would just be buy the quaife. It going to be the same price in the end and you will have less of a headache looming for additional parts. Hope this helps man.

My Quaife install worked great
I have a 2008 base, all of which I think have open diffs, and the Quaife QDF11L fit perfectly. It was a big improvement.
If your shop doesn't have a good selection of shims among their spares, you might need to get a shim pack from Nissan.

I think they are called stub axles. Bottom line, you have a open diff if you got a base and if they ask you if you need one for a car with a VLSD or one for a open diff, then you need to pick the option to replace the open diff.

You have an open diff. I'd recommend the Quaife. Contact Kyle at Import Parts Pro!
