Yes, with extra parts or work: Reported to fit open-diff manual cars, since 6MT Z and G VLSD units share output shafts; bring the donor's output shafts, because open-diff shafts differ per one thread.

Details
Reported to fit open-diff manual cars, since 6MT Z and G VLSD units share output shafts; bring the donor's output shafts, because open-diff shafts differ per one thread. Automatic G35s run 3.357, so a 6MT unit also shortens gearing (an owner guide says that helps acceleration); per one thread, automatic diffs use a 3-bolt driveshaft flange that may need changing. Forum-only.
