No idea... Didn't a vendor fix it when the auto guys went from 3.357 to 4.08? Could it be the same fix?


And using cruise control in 6th vs 5th shouldn't save THAT much gas if you're actually cruising. And the gears will be longer, soupy might be close to the same revs in 5th with the auto diff vs 6th with the MT diff

It can not

This may sound weak, but I am not so sure I can live without cruise control. I am alreaady living without window washer capabilities and that is hard. If I loose SRM, big WHOOP. If I loose Cruise Control, "Damn Son, where'd you find this?!?!?" Would make the drive from TX to MD kinda sucky!

But we still don't have the hard data only feelings and opinions, is here someone who measured it? I mean for 1/4 mile time before and after the final drive swap ? Or I have to do it as a first one ? :)

MrSqueeze is running 3.3, I dont think hes been down the 1/4 with it yet though and his car is currently down while switching to the BP kit

I really don't know why you only loose cruise in 6th, Squeeze did warn be about it but I figured oh well. I wonder if in my case it's cause the 350Z was a 5 speed auto and I have a 6 speed? Idk wild guess

D'oh. Sorry, there are two other ratios that I have heard of, but I couldn't remember what they were exactly.

Then maybe he will advise something...

I feel that the car will slow down in the 1/4 mile with the gear change.

Some say very much different - more grip and lower 1/4 time...please remember we are talking about FI car.

More grip through reduction of power applied to the pavement. The car will loose some acceleration in each gear. With stock gearing, the placement of the 5th gear change is inconvenient and it's really difficult to consistently get a clean 0-60mph part of the run. So quicker 1/4 mile times from stretching the gear out is more of distance specific side effect... Making it really hard to say precisely how much quicker it might make your exact car with you driving it. Because given the right tire, alignment, suspension setup, and driver... The stock gearing is quicker.

Yup, Turbo you want to stay in boost as long as possible, 3.3 will help with that. S/C you will want to reach redline as fast as possible, so lower will help.

Wish I had a manual guy in Hawaii who wanted to Trade. I'd love a 3.69 on my 7at
