How do you it doesn't fit?
just a warning, the g35/350 diff bushings do not fit (are the the same size as) the g37/370z's.

from what i know, SPL has not yet designed nor released a diff set for our chassis. it's not even on their website! the only explanation i can have for the set sold on importpartspro is that they just have the g35/350z set relabeled for the g37/370z thinking that it was forwards compatible. buyer beware and inquire within vendor first. you don't want to go taking everything off first and then realize that it does fit.

I wonder why there seem to be very few "compromise" products in this area. The solid metal bushings, motor mounts, subframe bushings, etc. are going to be way too harsh for most people's taste on a daily driver or occasional track car. OEM rubber ones are too soft for best performance. I wonder why no company will make a hard rubber one (or something besides solid metal) that is better than stock but not so hard as to eliminate eery ounce of NVH comfort in the car?

I just finished the install. Man was this thing a PITA to install, all I can say is wow what a world of a difference. The solid bushings keep the power down and I don't get any dif jerk. I ended up re-using the stock rubber "spacers/washers" that sit ontop of the differential to soak up all sound. As far as the sound inside the cabin goesI'm guessing the rubber spacers soak up the sound but I can't hear the difference.

I got mine in a box that said they were made for the z34. And they fit perfect. you need to remember these things need to be pressed into place and its not as simple is bolt on bolt off. I think the total install time was about 10-12 hours but mainly because i had to run to my shop to press everything and pick up some tools. you really have to think outside the box for this one. and again for those if you that couldn't find them just order them from import parts pro they've got the best price I found on the web.

Any vendor who sells SPL parts can get them. Even if they don't have them listed, they can order them.

Uh, yes they do. They have for quite some time. Click on the Z34 application or the V36 and they are listed.

I asked Z1 motorsports a couple of weeks ago what I'd have to do to get a poly 350z bushing to fit in our cars, because, let's face it, not many of us actually use our cars enough to merit solid bushings. I was told that the poly 350z bushing should fit our cars without any modifications and what not.
Of course, with my luck, after searching through my e-mails, I can only find the e-mail that I sent out to Z1, and can't find the response, to post an exact quote. But if anyone wants to give a call out to Z1 and ask them personally and report back, feel free.
I need to replace my diff bushing too, and I really don't need a solid bushing, so this would be my option.

The tolerances are a bit different between the 350z and the 370z if im not mistaken the 350z's bushing is a bit bigger, ever so slightly bigger by a couple nm. You could always machine away the extra or just buy the right one the first time and not have to worry about any machining. To tell you guys the truth I honestly dont hear the difference at all but I do feel the difference. I'll make an in cabin video sometime this week at a couple different speeds and you guys can tell me what you think.
