Ok guys I'm thinking of swapping out my rear diff for a G35X diff becaue the G35X had a 3.69 rear axle and the G37X has a 3.36 . Would the acceleration be noticeable or worth it? Thank you

Can't speak for the G or Z, but when I had my GT, I went from a 3.27 to a 3.73 and there was a noticeable difference. My limited understanding is that gears simply multiply torque, so, given that the VQ doesn't have much of it, a lower (numerically higher) gear in the G or Z would probably be evidently better. That noted, I'm probably over simplistic in my thinking.

Long as you're in there... buy yourself a Quaife.

It'll do wonders for your traction.

You might want to also make sure your front diff is at the same ratio. Otherwise some really bad things might happen once your attessa start working.
