Hi,

I'm new to the Infiniti family, but not so much to performance cars. I just picked up an 08 G37 coupe and have been very pleased with it with the exception of the differential.

I haven't found too much discussion after hours with the search function, but if what I've found is correct then the non s model doesn't have posi and the s model does. I didn't even consider that to be a possibility in a rear wheel drive performance car these days so I didn't ask before I bought it.

Am I understanding this correctly, and if I am is it a clean swap if I pick up a rear diff from an s model?

Thanks in advance.

Correct, only the Sport models have LSD. Yes you could swap out the entire differential or you could buy an OEM or aftermarket LSD.

Thanks for the quick help. I've seen a couple used LSDs on ebay for $300-400. The aftermarket ones I've seen are well over 1k.

As long as its another differential from a 5speed automatic I should be good right? Will any others be a direct fit? Any other compatibility issues?

MT and AT differentials are not directly compatible. Any 5 AT differential will work. I'm not sure what it would take to make that work. Maybe somebody with more experience with them than me can advise you.

Thanks again. I appreciate the help and look forward to being more active around here.
