It's for the axles. I put it together before I knew about the villians guys. The vlsd is getting welded.

I just finished refurbishing the axles about a week ago: OEM outer boots and Beck Arnley (PN=103-2513) inner boots. As you would expect, the aftermarket boots are not as high quality (not as thick) but, they were the only boots available. |

Think I need to reread through this again. Thought there was no difference in axle strength between j30 and 350z, just more availability? |

I emailed Villains today about their z33 conversion stubs. They said they are balanced to be safe up to 200 MPH. Any faster and the axle will tear apart. Seems like a good deal. I'll most likely go this route as I already have a HLSD installed in my s13 pumpkin and a spare s15 pumpkin with 3.69 gears. not to mention that OEM 350z axles will be much easier to come by, at least for a few more years.

Unless I am missing something, those conversion stubs don't look particularly complicated. Looks like a cut mild steel flange welded to the remainder of an axle stub.
I am not dissing their product because I know a lot of people don't have the means to make this themselves . Just that it looks like with fairly common tools and a little know how, these could be made not bought. |

Has anyone used the Maverick Z/G diff conversion bushings yet? Plan on picking up an open Z diff to run the axles and swap ring gear and pinion for the 4.08. I used to be much lower but would destroy axles, so i raised the car a good inch and i am still killing axles with 18s and minimal camber. Then again, remanned axles are straight garbage.

Yeah I just figured that out..... took both diffs apart and saw the huge difference in ring gear size and the punkin size. Didn't plan on staying 4.08 forever, as I was going to drop it down to a 3.6 once my VQ swap is done. But now it seems the best option would be to do the stubs, or get a Q45 diff and do magic to it. Just didn't want to try and weld a vlsd. I just want 350z axles damnit lol

You definitely can, but they are around $600. If you plan on staying 4.08 a z33/g35 diff just makes no sense. Get the custom axle stubs and be done, way less headaches and money.

So that happened to me on Saturday. I was going to rebuild both my axles and toss them back in but I think I might have lost one of the springs when it happened and I obviously don't know in what orientation the CV came out of the socket... looking at the fsm for rebuilding they both seem pretty important. Are there any aftermarket axles people have had luck with? I had autozone ones before and they clunked since day 1. These were OEM and more or less silent until the day they gave up the ghost.

Rear Axle Discussion
^ Same. My Advance/Autozone/whatever bullshit axle lasted exactly 24 miles and half a drift lap, clicking away the whole time, until internally shearing a CV joint. What a waste of time. Threw a spare stock one back in and I've been ok since.
Btw, I still have some random bits from the first stock axle I broke years ago. I have a spring that fell out. Holler if you want me to toss it in a USPS baggie and send it your way. I have no use for it, just never felt like throwing it away.

Anyone have luck with the megan "high quality" silicon boots? I keep ripping boots and don't wanna spend the $100 on the megans only for them to rip up again.

If I'm not mistaken and I probably am, but I thought I heard from someone that the J30 ones were like a mere 1CM shorter. or maybe it was longer.
