Yeah but you have one of those 5 race engine that they secretly installed and sent to the states without telling anyone.

 

That would exclude me, I have a manual. So the best thing to do, is don't touch the stock gears, correct?

 

I would say yes being that is what many of the guys around here say. I don't have any experience with a FI Z with or without gears. Read through that thread I posted with the gear comparisons. It explains it in there some.

 

07 killah ya herred!!

 

Yes, I started to, but like cbr900, I got lazy after the first page. I will have to go back through when I have some time, but thanks for your knowledge. At least I will know to do more research on it, before I waste money, and not need it.

 

Hey guys, when are yall going to post the pics from Sunday on nolaZcc ?

 

William took pics but he's either at work or sleeping.

 

Any FI Z should NOT get shorter gears. It will only make every aspect of the car harder to controll. You would have a harder time launching the car, need bigger and grippier tires to put it down, spin more also. Gears are torque multipliers.

Also, I can't see how some one could actually say you should use a 4.08 or a 3.9 over the other. The difference really is probably 50 rpm's.

Back in Braldey's 240 days, he had a VLSD from a J30 with 3.9 gears, when stock 240 gears are 4.10's. Could not tell a difference between his and mine.

my $.02

OK, I'm done


edit: Holy sh#t, 500 post damn I'm whoring it up

 

lol im not making a justification over it one way or another im just saying i have went with the 3.9s already and wanna go with the 4.08 this time.

 

Thanks Lance. I am also wanting an lsd. Should I get the 1.5 or 2 way?

 

well shipped that crappy jic back today, i should have my money back by end of the week.

 

hahahhha. post *****.

 

Unless you plan on drifting stay away from a 2-way. Ever look into a HLSD?

 

You shouldnt have to mess with your gears since youre FI, you could go to a 3.7 and will notice some difference in the low end, but as Dustin said earlier you might have a lil trouble with traction. Just like for me I have an auto with a vortech and went from the 3.3 to the 3.5 and it makes a pretty big differnece. If I get down on it when I shift, the back end will start to slide. Remember you're going to be in the higher rpm range when cruising b/c of the shorter gear(which is good for me if I wanna mess around a lil bc the vortech needs to be at least 3000 rpm before its starts boosting).

 

I would think 1.5 way but I'll let Lance chime in.


edit..........Wow. That **** happened before I could finish typing.

 

Did that d!ck finally refund you?

 

No I haven't, info please.

 

you're just slow..

 

Shawn you have an open diff?

 

hahahaha damn dustin, you really must type slow.
