anyone with a 06 base with these installed?

 

For those of you who installed the OEM 4.083 ring and pinion... what size shims were required?

I've been told by multiple domestic installers that if the gears have tight tolerances (like being OEM), the original shims will typically work.

 

Will genuine Nissan 4.08 gears work? Are there any differences with the ones Z1's sells and the stock Nissans?

Thanks

Chris

 

no one can tell you what shims you may or may not need...each car is different.

 

the ones we sell are factory new Nissan parts

Here is my thread on changing the final drive gearing through shorter tires.

I have it installed. just did a ETRSCCA Solo II event at Pellissippi this past Sunday and won the street tire modified class over three C5 corvettes, two S2K's and a Z3M roadster. the 4.08/Cusco LSD combo REALLY helped on the tighter pelli course. my spotters told me I was coming out of the corners faster than anyone else in my class. thats an interesting theory spdfreak. if I end up doing 275/40-17 Hoosier/Kumho/Hankook slicks on 17x10 RPF1's next season i'll let ya know if my top speed in each gear drops any.

 

awesome good drivin man!!

 

Why won't anyone tell us the nissan part number for the 4.083 gears? Is it a secret or something?

 

All the info you need is right on the first page

List of all Nissan gear ratios for each model.

The 4.083 gear comes out of a

Nissan Frontier
2005-2007 King Cab M/T 2.5L
C200
4.083

 

and!!! one of the vendors that sells them on here has the part numbers listed on there page.

 

yea a revup nice bro..good to see a fellow V2 doing good.

 

^^ so you ready to get these gears installed!!!! he's beating vettes and Z3M's!! lets go win some races bro!!! I talked to the guy at Lokey Infiniti in Clearwater and he can install the gears for us...plus you can take a dip at the beach afterwards

 

lol...getting my exhaust finally on the 21st after that i will look into these gears. But the veilside V1 lip is calling sis. i thought nick was gonna do it for ya.

 

i can officially say i am in the 4.08 FD club just got these with the nismo LSD and WOW. one of the best mods i have done. anyone else planning on doing this, dont hesitate DO IT.1st 2nd 3rd gear just screams!

 

Glad you're enjoying your gears... It really is a super mod... the only downside is probably the cost...

They make Interstate on-ramps a lot more fun...

 

i may just get the gears installed w/o lsd. cant find the quaife lsd. is this a serious mistake? (i have base model). or i may just find a stock vlsd pumpkin to swap the gears into. either way without lsd upgrade the install should be about 1k...with labor... it seems. most people spend this on exhaust...this mod is more of a monster!

 

if you can wait a few days, we have more Quaife's coming in - hopefully sometime next week Either way though, the gears are an awesome mod for sure

 

You plan on importing the 3.9's much more?

I'd personally be more interested in a 3.9 because my highway mileage sucks enough as it is, not looking to buy anytime "soon." But end of the summer should have a little liquidity to play with.
