OEM Nissan 370Z 2009-2013 Infiniti G37 Coupe & Sedan 6MT 3.692 R200V VLSD Differential – 2009-2020 Manual Direct Fit

Restore the handling precision and tire-shredding confidence your Z was built for with this OEM Nissan 370Z manual transmission rear differential because the factory R200V viscous limited-slip differential is what puts the VQ37VHR’s 332hp to the ground through both rear wheels, giving you predictable power delivery out of corners, better traction during hard launches, and the tail-happy control that makes the 370Z a true driver’s car, and by Nissan had refined the VQ platform with the final iteration of the R200V unit featuring improved clutch pack durability and revised viscous fluid calibration over early 2009-2012 DE-era diffs that were prone to overheating and “one-wheel peel” after aggressive driving, so this manual diff bolts directly into any 2009-2020 370Z 6MT and 2009-2013 G37 Coupe/Sedan 6MT without modification using the same 3-bolt front flange, 6-bolt axle stubs, and mounting bushings, running a 3.692 final drive ratio that balances acceleration and highway cruising for the manual gearbox so you keep the factory speedometer calibration and don’t need to reflash the ECU, and the viscous LSD uses a sealed silicone fluid coupling that transfers torque to the wheel with grip by shearing the fluid between alternating plates, making it smooth and street-friendly with zero clunks or maintenance compared to clutch-type or helical units, which is why Nissan chose it for daily drivability while still allowing you to hang the rear out at will, and it’s the perfect replacement if your current diff is howling, leaking from the pinion seal, has excessive backlash, or your viscous unit has cooked itself into an open diff from too many track days or drift events where prolonged wheel slip overheats the fluid and permanently reduces lockup, because once a VLSD goes bad it won’t transfer power anymore and you’re left spinning one tire, killing 60ft times and corner exit speed, and this complete OEM unit includes the cast iron housing, ring and pinion set, carrier, side bearings, and viscous LSD center section already set up with correct backlash and pinion depth from Nissan so there’s no setup, shimming, or specialty tools required like you’d need with an aftermarket 1.5-way or gear swap, just swap your cover, axles, and driveshaft and you’re back on the road in 3-4 hours, making it ideal for owners who daily their Z, need reliable all-weather traction, or want to return a modified car to stock before sale, and because it’s the 2016 version you get Nissan’s latest production updates with better heat tolerance and seal design than early units, so you’re not inheriting someone else’s 150k-mile problem, plus it maintains compatibility with Z1 subframe bushings, diff braces, and SPL solid mounts if you plan to push it harder, and unlike swapping to a Nismo 1.5-way or Quaife helical which can cost $2k+ with setup, this OEM VLSD gives you 90% of the performance for street and spirited driving at a fraction of the cost with zero noise, zero maintenance, and factory reliability, so whether your diff blew from launching, is whining on deceleration, or you’re doing a manual swap on an automatic chassis and need the correct 3.692 ratio, this manual diff is the drop-in solution that restores the balanced, controllable power delivery that made the 370Z one of the best handling budget sports cars of the 2010s, giving you back corner exit grip, predictable slides, and the confidence that both rear tires are working when you mat the throttle, because a Z with an open diff isn’t a Z at all, and this is the easiest way to fix it right without breaking the bank or dealing with gear whine and setup headaches from aftermarket options.
