Default Looking for 4.08 final drive gears

Well this winter I plan on building up a head

But right now I'd like to simply get faster gearing in my 350z, I really hate how 1st 2nd and 3rd wind out a LOT. Just watching video clips with simple "0-100 runs" the car SEEMS so slow due to how long it takes to rev those gears.


Anyway I've seriously searched for hours last night trying all types of combinations to find these gears, I did find one site selling them, but the site didn't seem very reputable.


So, if anyone could either direct me to a good 350z aftermarket site (like forged performance - but they don't have the gear), I'd really appreciate it.

One more question:

Can any garage install the final drive gear (as far as competence), or should I take it to either a performance shop OR the nissan dealer?

Any decent transmission shop should be able to do it. Make sure you buy all the other applicable parts. Pinion oil seal, pinion bearing, crush washer, pinion nut. Call MyNismo and talk to them, they'll take care of you. Make sure you tell them you want everything for the install -- some say the bearing is not needed, but the one on your current pinion may get damaged if they try to press it off. If you get all the parts it's a 5 hour job and your car is in and out of the shop.

The answer is No on Any Garage and I would say No on Nissan----This is not rocket science but a man has to have a certain talent.

Find a place that is Performance and Differential orientated
