driving impression? freaking insane.
now I have 6 gear. not 5 + a wimp gear.

shouldn't change straight line acceleration.. but on a road course I'll have one more gear to play with... and there should help.

I have the first "info" comparing the video with the bone stock car at 2K miles and now...
35mph to 105mph (so it's 2nd to 4th gear in both ways) is about 1.1 second quicker.... from 10.8 to 9.7.... I'll post a comparison video tomorrow :-)

I spent few days with the table of "speed" for the various gearing 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 4.1 and my telemetry on the tracks here around to see which one would work better.

I hope I did my homework right.
thanks, I'm curious about yours with the ARC exhaust.

is it just me or does it seem like you lose a little in 3rd... my stock third redlines at 100 even... your third looks like it only reached 92-93...
good work though... and good luck

well, that is the whole point of a different FD...
it's true, I loose some speed in any gear and at the end of the day you don't gain too much in pure acceleration... is just to have more usable gears where it really matters (on a road course), to don't go to low in the rpm range when you go around a corner.
it's just a game of compromises.

Very nice, I had 4.08's in my '04 Z and it was awesome and still thinking about 3.9's for the nismo.
