s13 with nissan motorsports gear

sdtouge · 12-21-2004, 04:22 PM

nissan motorsports makes a gear set for the s13 that makes the ratio go to 4.6 andi was looking in to this and i think it would be a great upgrade for the na people like me. you can get up to a 4.6 wich i believe would make a huge DIFFerence. i was hoping for any coments about this setup from your expiriences, stories, or just opiniongs on how this would be. would this be compatible with the kaaz 2 way lsd's? i assume it would but i am no possitive.

Yes it would be compatible, but street driving would be a biatch. For example, at 65mph in fifth gear, one would see a 382rpm increase (roughly). Top speed in each gear would decrease as well, and the jaunt to 60mph would take one more shift.

For an absolutely dedicated car, I'd get 4.6 or 4.8 gearing... and may go that way if I can get my KA to rev higher reliably.
