I've opened up a couple of these VLSD's and the only components I can see that may get worn are the spider gears and thrust washers them self, or the surface they make contact with. Thrust washers can just be replaced. As far as pinion and differential bearings, timken brand sells jdm bearings and races, and significantly cheaper than buying 'oem' off of nissan distributors.
For the pinion, the inner bearings you may need are similar to the r200V option available for VLSD'S equipped 240sx. I'm only going off of what I recently purchased by mistake. It wash compareable to the bearing on my Q45 pinion. They were both the exact size. (I needed the small version to fit my r200 open diff. Casing).
National brand off of rockauto has 2 variants of inner pinion bearing, one is smaller diameter for open diff r200, and the other is larger for r200v (vlsd equipped), like previously mentioned.
Now, I'm not sure about the outer bearing, as to whether it's similar throughout all of the nissan equipped r200, or q45 for that matter. I didn't receive that bearing when I purchase my ring and pinion set, so I'm not sure if it's larger for q45, like the inner was in comparison to a 240sx.
