For those of you who have 4.0 or 3.9 FD gears what gear are you in at 35-40 mph and at 70-75mph also what rpm range are you around. IE. 5th gear, 40 mph, ~2,000 rpms. thanks for the help
Uhh, did you not read the thread? It's in a few posts here, one being #303.
for people with these gears installed, does it affect the speedo readings? and if so how do you fix it?
speedo stays the same, but in 4th gear instead of tacking out at 120 mph you'll be hittin 100 now lol...MUCHO shorter gearing becomes more and more apparent the faster you go.
I did this install when I got my cusco RS LSD put in.... it made a world of difference if your going to stay N/A for awhile ( Andy at performance Nissan got me everything I needed except for the shims... which you don't know which you'll need till you open up your diff.
many of our customers have done the final drive and flywheel together - they compliment each other well
It's good to hear that it is not necessary to pick between the two. I guess I was just worried that the combination of the two would make redline come so quick that 2nd and/or 1st would be a waste. Thanks Adam!
it wouldnt be a waste because the mph will only be down about 6 or so mph depending on which gear your in. As long as you have good traction it wont waste anything at all.
Would this be a bad idea for a mod, if I drive mainly just on roads? Dont do any tracking (yet) but would still like to get the best performance out, I just dont want to sacrifice and get a shitty DD.
^ I was curious about the same thing. My 240 final drive was 4.083, but the reason that wont work is because the pinion size is different. Nice try though...
