**3.3 Final Drive Installed-Review**
did a little research a while ago...couldn't find any off the shelf gears that were longer than the 3.3's....
Now I'm sure someone would build you something custom but I can't imagine the costs lol.
But with the 3.3 and something like a 7.5K-8Krpm, your gearing will be just dandy...right Alberto....
Or if you are really crazy you do like SP and rev to 9Krpm. a 3.3FD, 26in tire, at 8700rpm is doin 160mph....think thats better than the z06 or viper.

IMHO any Z/G that is F/I should change to the 3.3 gears. I hated the stock gears even when I had my TN kit, between the constant wheelspin and shifting it was almost impossible to pull hard below third gear.
about the 245 i used them as a reference cause ( aceman ) used them thats why i did so. when did 295/30/18 it lost about 5mph in each gear
that with 295/30/18
7200 49 79 114 145 184 232

When i did the 3.3 a month ago I was blown away. Its only a 6% change but it is huge if you have the TQ. Technically you would be accellerating slower in each gear, but now I get to use all the tq longer so I am accellerating much faster.
And crusing at highway speeds in 5th and 6th is rediculous insta-spool....full boost in 5th and 6th <3K rpms........crazy (picked up about 300rpm of spool across the board)

we all know that SP runs 9.35 with the stock 3.5 and 8500RPM.
but still if u see the vids, ull notes that the shifting is still Uncomfortable for the driver, espacially the 5th gear.
im sure SP 350z gonna be more faster if they swap to 3.3

8000rpm's of engine and 3.3FD = stay in 4th down the 1320 for 99% of the cars on this forum...my engine sounds like its gonna explode at that rpm but its exhilarating
