Default Can I put a Nismo Limited slip lsd on my auto 350z

I have an auto 350z that I got a few weeks ago and I know autos aren’t the best for drifting but I was wondering if I could take the lsd of a nismo and put it on my 350 I know you can if they are both manual but what about manual to auto or is there and automatic limited slip lsd?

Let's clear this up first: the standard LSD of an '07-08 Nismo Z was the same as what came in a enthusiast, Touring or GT model. They all used a VLSD (viscous limited ship diff). Any yes, you can put a VLSD in your auto equipped Z. But that VLSD is a far cry from a NISMO aftermarket LSD that is a true clutch-type LSD.

Second, if you are into drifting or track driving, a quaife or other aftermarket LSD will provide more rear traction. Hell, even a welded rear end will get snap oversteer if all you're looking for is high slip angles. Just don't drive it on public roads where you're likely to spin it into a pole, curb or culvert.
