I did some searches on here and other places, and have had no luck. I've been trying to find a place to order Nissan Motorsports 4.6:1 Ring and Pinion Gears. I looked it up on nissanusa.com under the nismo parts, and only found an lsd upgrade. Any help would be appriciated on trying to locate a place to order. Thanks.

A 4.08 is quick enough for those... you don't want to have to shift at all while auto-xing unless your in a rare instance of a straight line.

They do make a 4.364 that would be better suited IMO.

I've got a R200V with the 4.364 final drive ratio waiting to be installed in my S13. I just need to get some J30 axle shafts.

A 4.60 won't improve your straight line much... especially when you get more power. You'll be going into 5th at the top end when you could have hung out 4th.

Plus you'll have hell trying to get that thing to catch out of the hole on street tires.

For the money I'd look towards getting something to improve the powerband.
