Your post hasn't really made sense. The VN Calais already has IRS? You want to fit the IRS LSD you have from a smashed VQ? Take the removed IRS LSD to a mechanic and the VN Calais and they'll fit ir for you. Or just do it yourself.

VNs were able to be optioned with IRS.

So the VN Calais you're looking at is a live axle (solid), and you want to convert to IRS LSD diff? Makes sense now! You'd need to compare the floor plans between the VQ and VN, to make sure the VN can support the IRS cradle. It may not, as the VQ i based off the wagon wheelbase. Please let me know if it can be done, as my brother wants to install IRS on his VN too.
