Anybody thought about getting a group buy together for some of these parts?

 

Its fairly difficult since the cheapest way to get an entire pumpkin is to buy it used or from someone parting out a car. The new ones are very expensive and to buy just the FD to have it installed is expensive for labor. The best route for the Nismo LSD and FD is to contact 350EVO as they will put together an entire pumpkin with both installed and do a trade where you send your stock pumpkin back into them.

 

I have put more in town driving time/miles on the car and I can say that I have increased my overall fuel efficiency by ~ 1.5-2.5mpg. That was the one thing I thought might be a downside, but instead it is a positive. This may not be the case with all setups as I have cams and 19" tires, but for some it can happen. I can already tell the biggest problem will be needing new rear tires more often

 

Isn't the Quaife gear type LSD a better setup for mild to moderately modified 350Zs? It is quieter and I think better suited for a street car than the NISMO clutch type LSD. At least for Z cars 400 hp to the wheels and less. But I am open minded and would like to hear opinions - I could be wrong.

 

I was just talking about the gears

 

guys could I just install the 6MT Ring & Pinion? I dont plan on tracking my car so I dont see a need for the nismo LSD. I do plan on adding the stillen VB and new TC

 

From my understanding you can not simply install the 3.5 FD into the stock 5AT pumpkin. Talk to BJ from 350EVO. I was under the impression that there were some differences in some of the specs, which is also why the Nismo LSD for the 6MTdoesn't just drop into the 5AT rear end with the 3.3 FD. If you install the Nismo LSD and the 3.5 FD at the same time you are ok. The is the reason I wanted the entire 6MT pumpkin.

 

I can get you the price for the entier 6MT pumpkin...

but would be cheeper if you find a junk yard...
