Default Considering a trade from 3.35 FD to 3.5FD for a 5AT...

I'm interested to see if any 6MT's might want to swap FD's... Several turbo 6MT's have complained that they have to shift too quickly before they get to redline. This would allow a little extra time inbetween shifts.

Also, do you know of anyone who has done this? Success failures, please post...

I'm also considering swapping my 3.35 for 3.5.

I think Gurgen did a rear end swap with a 350Z. My memory is a bit hazy, though; he might have just gotten the diff.

Im trying to find out if there is a LSD in a G35 . I talked to several people at Infiniti and [ they may be idiots ] they said they dont put LSD's in G35's . That all rear ends are the same no matter what model G35 you have . Any one know for sure ????

I believe this is the breakdown:
  • 5AT Sedans have open diffs
  • 6MT Sedans have VLSDs
  • 5AT Coupes w/out performance wheel + tire package have open diffs
  • 5AT Coupes with performance wheel + tire package have VLSDs
  • 6MT Coupes have VLSDs

It doesn't look like any turbo 6MT guys are interested (: I hear the best way to do this is to swap out the whole pumpkin...

Once all these guys build their engines they're going to be taking apart their rear ends to install better diffs. I think they'll get interested right around then

Default diff

Also yep, once my engine is built and TTs installed , the next step will be the diff (Cusco RS) and the deciding ratio. A 3.3 ratio would be fine if the clutch selected can be easliy slipped and aslo handle the extreme TQ. Possibly a carbon/carbon,like ATS variety should do.

And yes , yes , yes the G35 6MT with Brembos most definately does come with a VLSD. It's fine for OEM power , but inadeqaute for FI track use.
