I dont remember off hand.. Ill talk to my gear guy...

But, its something like this... I might have it reversed...

When the shims are too tight, you hear sound while decelerating...
When the shims are too loose, you hear sound while accelerating...
When the shims are just rite but hum while constant speed, its the bearings...

but i could have it mixed up...

 

Can you get that 3.9FD as a complete Pumpkin Jason?

 

sq40,

Yes, you can purchase a 3.9 ring and pinion fully assembled in with an OEM LSD or other LSD, such as the Nismo. However, it is more expensive to do it that way unless you plan on replacing the OEM LSD with an aftermarket one anyway. Many people buy the 3.9 and then use their OEM LSD. Install when using the stock LSD is typically $400 to $500.

 

Originally I was told my shop charges 3 hrs of labor at $75.00 an hour.. so that's $225 for gear install... after talking to them further they backed away.... now they don't want to do it at all... can anyone recomend somebody for this in NJ?

 

I can have them fully assembeld...

I am starting to do it for the 350Z AT owners with a 3.7 final drive

 

^So we could send you the core and you send back the pumpkin with the 3.9 and a VLSD or, say, Nismo? What happens if we hear noises?

 

havent had problems yet..

but you will be looking at 3 weeks down time if you do standard ground shipping at minimum plus $300 around for shipping both ways...

We are working on getting more pumpkins so we can do this again...

 

Sounds good. I'm in no rush right now to get it done. I don't even have a Popcharger yet... lol. But it would be nice to minimize downtime.

 

jason so how much would this all coem out to if you did the pumpkin?

 

depends on the pumpkin

weither you purchase a full brand new pumpkin...

or source a used one for us...

or IF we can get our hands on a used one...

 

Just FYI for guys in Southern California. KAAZ Usa in Costa Mesa will do the install for $300, last time I checked. They have done a few and have the shims down.

 

For any of you guys in the NY NJ CT area I go to a shop called maximum tuning in Glen cove LI. They are breaking in to the z market and looking to do a group install of the gears if enough people are interested. They are quality driveline shop and have worked on a large variety of modded cars. from turbo'd maximas to crazy supras to my Z! there pricing is super fair.

 

How much is fair?

BTW get them on the board to talk a little... that will help drum up some business.

 

Whats your shop and where is it? ]]
