diff bushings, 7at pumpkin with 3.3 gears. RE-11's or similar, a proper diff. like a quaife, wavetrac, or an OS giken.

The camber goes more negative when it squats, so the closer to zero you start out, the better. This car cambers HARD on squat. Normally you would want weight transfer and squat, but in a Z I would stiffen up the rear to prevent it if driving on street tires or drag radials unless I had the car aligned specifically for drag racing and didn't care about handling. Otherwise I would set base alignment around .5 negative camber and go stiff on the rear shock.

Don't forget that if you are running super aggressive wheel offsets, there is a chance they might not fit when you take out the camber.

Also, keep the rear suspension height closer to stock. The more slammed your car is, puts you deeper into the control arm arc, and the camber/compression ratio becomes more aggressive, pulling the top of the tires in even faster.

MT drag radials + wet roads and rain = one very bad handling dangerous car to drive.
On dry roads , no problems.

forgive my noob question, what has to be done for a 3.3 at swap? just the gears? Or is the pumpkin all the same? I search but did not find much...thanks.

I think whenever someone choose to go for the final drive gears or whiteline bushings it would be easier to do it together at once.

Is there any kit on the market which allows to swap OEM MT final gear from 3,6 to 3,3 ? I saw only 3,9 or 4,08.

Just gears, but there is a world of NA auto guys that will just swap you a pumpkin to make it easier

so its literally a direct swap? The input shaft and alxle stubs are the same, or would those need swapped? I already did my bushings, but this may be a future idea if I have traction issues.

On my own 350z, I found that some work in the rear will go a long way. I have the Quaife LSD with the 3.5 FD, BC springs/shocks, ADO8 295's and a differential brace that I built myslelf. The diff. brace went a long way because it kept the wheels on the ground, so the LSD can do its job. I built it myself (because I can) and because I did not think that whatever was available on the market was good/strong enough.

430ft/tq at the wheels and there is no traction issues in 2nd gear when it is warm out (summer). A lot of 1st gear sticks as well.

I was on the fence between ad08s and 888rs...

I assume changing the gearing would screw up SRM?

Yes, but ecutek has said they can fix that.

Same here....I believe they have actually done it but need to find the thread.
