It appears the JDM AWD U12 w/ CA18DET has a 3.7:1 final drive.. at least thats whats listed for the rear final drive. The front doesn't have anything specified, but I would assume they'd have to be the same.. 37/10 teeth.

Thanks for the info!! Where did you get it from, if I may ask? Reason being, that my current final drive is 3.7 and that would be awsome to get the AWD transmission from a JDM U12 as apposed to getting a 4.47:1 out of a stanza, and have to deal with the push button transfer case. Plus I would have to change out my rear end.

You can stop by in Lawrence some time, and I can show her to yah, she's kinda in shambles right now although, I'm trying to add power windows and locks to her, and also cruise, 'cause I'm lazy. Gi'me a call sometime, 8405757, area code is same as yours.

Looked it up in the JDM Nissan FAST catalog. Also, I was only looking at the manual out of habit, is this for a manual? Doubt they'd have different for auto but they might.. assuming it even came in auto w/ AWD?

The front diff stuff is section D38-01 and rear is D38-02. In D38-02 you'll see a part code 38100, which is the ring and pinion set. Only part# specified for 4WD CA18DET MT combination is the 38100-21R00, if you hit the specification button (it's in kanji, you'll probably see it on the second line of the details of the part after you hit F5 to find part#s for partcodes) you'll see it specifying the ratio "37/10=3.700 *=LSD".
