G37 coupe drivetrain swap

G37 coupe drivetrain swap
So, in the past I upgraded from a 3.35 to 3.69 open differential in my sedan. It was a great upgrade. The car has been gone over a year and I decided to buy a q60s coupe recently. I want to swap the rear differential again but I want to go a little further this time. My idea was to get a one piece drive shaft meant for a manual trans to install in mynauto trans. The newer 370z nismos come with a 3.9 Vlsd differential from the factory. I was going to source one of those to go along with the new driveshaft. My only concern is will the manual driveshaft work on an auto trans? It seems the only change is the flange for the differential which will match since the Nismo 3.9 is from a manual trans car. Any input would be appreciated and welcomed. Thanks in advance.

These are both correct, 2017 and newer Q60 (New body design with 2.0 and 3.0 engines) uses the R190; 2014 Q60 (Rebadged G37) used the old R200
RE: The driveshaft and pumpkin upgrade plan, If the driveshaft was made for the 370z it may shorter, if you are getting a custom made one, just measure it...

AFAIK, at the transmission side yes yoke is the same but the G37 shaft and the Nismo pumpkin make have different flanges at the diff side depending on the year and options of each car its sourced from...and again, I would expect the driveshaft from the MT car to be longer than the one on your AT car so I would think matching the length is going to be a bigger problem than matching the flanges...either way good luck and post up pictures, I'm sure lots of people (myself included) would like to see how it all comes together
