AZ ment shorter sidewall not skinnier... 215 is the width it's the second number he's saying to reduce... like 215/50R 14's would significantly reduce your gearing...

The KA rearend won't fit cause the truck isn't IRS

The KA transmission is the same in the truck and the 240. The housing is only slightly longer in one... Gears are the same...

what's the ratio on the rear end of the truck, I'd assume it's lower, and can the 240sx ring and pinion be used on it?

I forgot about IRS...DO'H

Good question, who would swap the entire rear end when you can get just the ring and pinion in 4.36 and 4.63 ratios from Nissan Motorsports?

But, is it a direct swap?...I don't know s*** about the trucks.

If anything i would thing the truck would be geared numerically higher than the car for increased towing capacity... I don't know the rear end numbers for either tho...

Cheap and Fast shouldn't be used in the same sentence....sorry. Nitrous is the easiest way to go fast, but if that's your only mode of transportation....not the best plan.

RB20, good sound, good power, and good reliability.

You can pick them up for pretty cheap too.

HAHA, I agree! :D

I just wish I would have come up with it myself. I'm actually amazed I didn't as much as I make fun of "Blingsters"....what I call people who like to Bling it up. It's so ridiculous, but so much fun to rag on them.
