Quaife themselves werent much help other than sending those exact diagrams that 20mm is needed to be cut off the shafts but certian other parts are required to make them fit, I cant remember exactly what it was but can find out for anyone? I take my car on track quite alot in the past year and the 370z grips well round corners despite being heavy but when pushed at the limit, the rear wheels would struggle to keep up but now the quaife diff solves that problem and can carry that speed throughout the track.

I have the 4.08 final drive and I truly love it after the ecutek map it has on it but yet to see the real difference on track which will hopefully be next month. I have only recently got it back and fuel wise, I may have lost 20 miles to a full tank as the revs sit higher when doing cruising speeds on the motorway or city driving. Gear changes occur more often but I don't find it a problem using it as a daily driver. My syncrorev, speedo was out of sync but due to the new map, everything is back to normal. My initial fear of fitting a final drive was the grinding noise you hear but if you got an exhaust and full interior, you barely hear it compared to other cars that I have sat in like s2000 or exige. Richf, it is not a cheap process of simply buying the diff and getting a garage to fit it because quaife don't have a specific diff for the 370z, its the 350z diff that they supply you. The car feels brilliant whilst going round bends as it simply grips and grips even more when you push it harder. There is simply no drama with the rear wheels or traction when cornering at speed now and once it grips, it doesn't let go till you want it. Nissanman, you wont regret fitting the diff, if its ready to be fitted then I personally would say go for it. I have taken a few people out in my car, everyone says the same thing that you point the car in the direction you want it to go and it just grips regardless of what speed you are doing. I do have the apr wing on the back which creates a lot of downforce but the diff makes sure that there is little to no drama when attacking any corner at speed.

I recently got the final drive fitted along with a quaife diff, southbend clutch and flywheel and what a difference it made to the car overall. The car revs so much quicker in every gear and I always think I am in a lower gear than what I am actually on which is the best way to describe the difference. 6th gear feels like 5th, 5th feels like 4th...you get the point. The car grips so well around corners and gives you even more confidence when you go on track, you see yourself going faster than before and car feels at home. I do want to warn anyone planning to get this diff so bear in mind that its not a simple job, there is loads of hidden costs and work done to make them fit. Quaife themselves were not a great help as they were not sure on how to tackle the problems I had with the fitting, it was left to my trusted mechanic Andrew baird at automek to come up with his own solution which solved the problem. Anyone who wants to know then speak to Andrew and he will be happy to tell you what he did and what to buy or even better get him to fit it. As for the final drive, due to the car revving faster than standard, the syncrorev throws up an error which switches the rev matching off and limits the power after 6000rpm in 3rd,4th,5th or 6th gear. This proved to be a massive stumbling block and caused many headaches and lots of testing to come up with a solution. If you are planning to upgrade the clutch,flywheel and install a final drive, you will have to map the car using ecutek as uprev has limitations and one of them is gear ratios. I just want to thank Mark at abbeymotorsport and Andrew at automek to tackling the problem together and solving the problem. Nothing beats their service and doing whatever it takes to get the customers car sorted. I spoke to several companies that are ecutek dealers and they simply told me that they weren't interested in solving the issue and were not willing to give it a try. Car feels great now and the issue has completely gone so I'm happy now, cannot wait to get back on track to test the car again. Any questions about the mods above, I will be happy to answer them on here on via pm. thanks

I have went from uprev to ecutek recently due to an issue that was developed when I fitted the final drive to my car. the uprev software do not have an option to alter the gear ratios so my synrorev matching wasn't working and causing the car to hold back after passing 6500rpm in majority of gears. Thanks to mark at abbeymotorsport and Andrew at automek, the problem is solved and car is brilliant again. I have yet to go for a power run but will arrange one soon

stillen gen 3 intakes is what I have, they sound good and have proven gains but do cost more than other filters on the market.

I have taken two parts off my 370z which is the Evo-r burnt titanium gear knob brought from redlinestyling and the twm short shifted that was brought directly from them. Its made from real titanium and is weighted for better shifting. M10 fitting so will fit any 350z or 370z. Looking for £65 plus postage This is the Twm short shifter that was brought directly from them and fitted to the car for 4 months, what a difference it made and I would have kept it on but with the final drive fitted, it doesn't feel as good as it should when I have the oem final drive. In my opinion it is the best short shifter available and I have driven another 370z with the stillen short shifter and it didn't feel as good or precise as this one. It reduces the throw by 33% and makes going through the gears so much better in every way. Looking for £240 plus postage thanks and the items are located in Glasgow

Its been a while since I last logged on as been busy with work and other things but decided to buy some more mods for my 370z and being addicted to trackdays is not helping my bank balance. After speaking with a few members who track their cars quite regularly in the us, I decided to buy the following: quaife lsd diff southbend clutch and lightened flywheel z1motorsports Hd csc zspeed final drive 4.08 carbotech xp10 front and xp8 rear pads Currently my car is at Automek getting the mods fitted and should be back with me in the next day or two. I highly recommend them as their previous work on the car has been brillant and wouldnt go anywhere else. Im due to go on track on the 30th so need to bed in my mods before then and will post feedback on the mods for anyone who is interested. Just to clear an issue about the quaife diff, the shafts need to be machined as there isnt an official 370z diff but instead a 350z diff. Any questions then pm me or ask away...I also got the headlights done by headlightretrofit which really makes a difference to the front. Please excuse the bad photographs of the mods

I have the invidia system on my 370z as its best of both worlds with being loud enough when you want it to be but quiet when driving about town. I love the sound of mine but l do have the berk high flow cats and has been mapped.

he read my text to say l would be late and he has my number so no reason to let me know he cant make it. Its the fact that he read my message then switched off his phone when l went out my way to meet up

Got a message from gstraw to meet up so he can listen to my cars exhaust setup so decided to go out my way to meet up. Due to family commitments, l message him to say l was running 30mins late in advance to our meeting time. No reply to my message and then decides not to turn up. Just shocking and anyone else, think twice before meeting with this individual.

Looking to buy the oem gear knob for the 370z, pm me Thanks

Davectr, can you pm the price and how long did it take? Thanks

No problem davectr, looking forward to seeing the finished headlights as im keen to get mine done. Will follow this topic

Anyone else?

Ewen, l currently use mine as a daily so thats why l have considered the quaife over others. Would you be able to get one priced up for me? Also any thoughts on final drive? Looking forward to hear from Dom

Hello Dave, what did you get done to your lights? Been looking for companies for a long time, majority of them are in the us that require my lights to be sent over

Anyone have these mods fitted? Interested to see how loud the grinding noise that the final drive makes when going down the gears. Also feedback on the improvement from changing diffs. May be my next two mods

Lol lrfan, my yearly post but next year will be more involved with the forum

Yeah no issues on the road abit from abit of noise from time to time. Ds2500 are really good pads but when it comes to stopping from high speeds, the cl rc5 plus wins by a good margin

Well after a four hour open pit at knockhill, the brake pads performed brillantly in the wet and in the dry when l was out. No brake fade and the squealing from the brakes is minimum compared to a few other race pads. Its definitely a step up from the ds2500 pads which l previously used. I recommend these pads without a doubt but mind l have upgraded my discs which contributes to the brakes stopping power overall.

Massive thanks to Ewen in getting me the cl rc5 pads from Europe as nobody had stock of them in the uk. Great service and advice on the phone, thanks!

Just fitted the cl rc5 plus pads to the front and back, what a difference on the road but going on track this thurs so will post a review then

Really keen on this so will be watching this topic closely
