if its from a rb25det r33, its 4.11 thats only IF it came factory with the turbo, you can verify this on the code of the clip if you have one...

Dangit, Shocker beat me to it.

According to the R33 FSM the GTS-T VLSD has a final drive ration of 4.11:1.

no i dont have a clip but i am going to buy a diff i just didnt know the gear ratio for the r33 and i figure that since i have the engine/trans from the r33 i may as well get the differential too. is there a link to an online fsm by chance? thanks guys

Or for the 'Cliffnotes' version:http://nicoclub.com/FSM/rb

There are several different diffs you can get, but the easiest / most abundant would be the diff from an NA-Z32 (90-96 Nissan 300ZX). I got my diff when I got my clip :-\ But either way, make sure it has the orange VLSD logo on it.
