yeah its helping a greater deal of understanding, and to think i could have paid $300 to learn all this pfft... good thread though

Ultimately, we could find the dimensions of the pinion and the main gear, then produce our own spline dividens to make whatever ratio we wanted. BUT I think that takes a little bit of money.....

unless we marketed a bolt in application to the gen pop.

hmmmmmm

fast lov'n is needed at [email protected]...

i'm glad my bable makes sense and teaches those who are willing. I was afraid I was making a fool of myself for the amount of info I was typing... ... maybe I did

no problem whatever you need just tell me, I am in the process of downloading the JDM fast on my personal computer.

Wow, chat in this area is so much more insightfull than other areas wink wink.

But per Paul Sinclair at Nissan Motorsports, (whom I am on the phone with right this moment).

No it will not fit, the 4.11 ratio, BUT Nissan makes a 4.36 that Nissan puts in the new model Frontiers, that fits in the 350z housing. The part number is 38100-0C860 that retails for 539, but I can get the discount of course.

this is a good find.. but not exactly the alternative route I was trying to take=/

how's fast treating you?

Now stuck in the "350z FAQ & General Info" thread/library.....

If you can find me the 4.36 Frontiers final gear (condition: new), I will pay $500 for it and install it. If it works I'll let you know. If not, I'll switch back to the OEM gears.

the 4.36 (38100-0C860)gears are not a direct swap into the 350Z, substantial custom work is involved in making them fit. I know first hand

This is going into my car ^. I expect it done soon, and we'll install sometime in the fall whenever I get some time.

The gears from a Z32, etc also will not fit directly, as there are quite a number of differences, from the ring gear bolts, to pinion diameter, etc etc.

The Z is a bit of an oddball
