Any thoughts on upgrading the Rear diff to a Quaife from the VLSD?

Should be less than $2k all in.
- Is the stock VLSD worth anything?

I don't recall driving (aggressively) in a car with a "real" rear diff ever.

Discuss...

I also want to do this, but can't really offer any additional information from a 370z standpoint.

I can say that one of my buddy's dad had a 240sx with an RB swap and a Quaife rear diff and that thing was awesome.

I would say it would be a big improvement both on and off the track. Also, upgrading the bushings to solid or maybe poly since you dd. I don't think the stock VLSD is worth much, but I'm sure someone who tracks often may want to take if off your hands. I would maybe hold on to it and swap it back in when you want to sell the car.
