Q: Will 2007-2008 G35 sedan (V36) 6MT VLSD, 3.692 ratio, in an open-diff 350Z fit a Nissan 350Z (Z33, 2003-2009)?

Yes, with extra parts or work. Reported to work on a 2008 base 350Z: the 2008 G35 sedan 6MT VLSD shares the case and flanges, but the ABS sensors had to be moved over because of a plug difference. It shortens the ratio from 3.538 to 3.692. One write-up; a reply says it should also suit a 2003.
