If you guys are trying to do this. its pretty simple. basic bolt on,

if you guys get the Automatic g37s vsld you need to cut a piece of metal off the flange area, if not you will be fine.

I just followed cliffs and Ken AZ notes on previous posts before.

A few questions:

Where did you find the diff?
What was the total cost?
How long did it take to install?

I Found my diffs online through a friend. I got a great deal on it. was 400$ shipped and you will need to find g37s sport rear half axles too. without them you cant do the full differential swap. and I found those online on ebay for 100 shipped, through offering.

oh and the install took about 3 hours. but thats with me taking breaks and fooling around.

YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE POWERTOOLS, AIRTOOLS OR A LIFT. WITHOUT IT, ITS GOING TO TAKE LONGER!!! and could be a pain in the rear.
