Installing a quaife Diff *Help needed*

[N3me-350z]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if some technical wizard can help me out.

 

I have a lovely new quaife diff (the 13L model) to replace my 350z VLSD diff. I have been reading the long input shaft needs to be either machined down (as per drawing that comes with the diff) or a new smaller shaft is needed to be purchased.

 

can someone super clever tell me this short input shafts part number please ☺️. I’ve been searching and my mind is boggled! I don’t want to order the wrong one and waste a day fitting my old diff back in once I realise my stupid mistake 🙃.

 

I’m guessing (from reading other threads) this is the best approach as it gives more spline contact and also has the circlip slot that is needed.

 

I haven’t taken apart the diff yet so everything I’m saying is hopefully accurate, if not please tell me my stupidity.

 

thanks all 🤙

PM received and just about to reply to your message.

 

Shortening the shaft is not a good idea I am afraid.

 

Best to fit an original OEM short shaft everytime.

 

Shafts are in stock if you wish to follow my advice.
