different nissan gear ratios

[Var]

i'm trying to find out what gear ratio nissan had that was actually shorter than our 4.08:1 s13 diffs that had lsd on it.

also can anyone confirm that r34 skyline's have 3.55:1 final drive. thank you

nissan Motorsports sells a 3.90 and 3.55 ring and pinion set for the R200 (i think its 3.55 I'llhave to double check)

nope I was wrong 3.70.... from courrtesy parts;

R200 Ring & Pinion Sets (12mm)
The ring gear has an OD of 200mm (R200), an ID of 128mm and uses a 12mm ring gear bolt with a 1.25 thread pitch.

sorry maybe you didnt understand my post. i meant which factory gearset is shorter than 4.08 that has lsd in it..ie:was it the 280z? 300z? etc. etc.

Both the 3.90 and the 3.55 are LONGER, not shorter. You would need a 4.3, 4.6, or a 4.9, all shorter. The CA 180sx came with a 4.3.

Vapor is correct. but if you really want longer gears (numerically lower) the J30 diffs and Z32 NA were 3.9 search Fresh alloy... someone did a writeup with all the diffs that fit and their ratios

[Var]

hold on. nobody set anything about lower gears, i said shorter gears.

Vapor you answered my question. the Ca 180sx is the only R200 diff that has shorter gears than the 4.08:1..

the reason i'm asking is that someone is hooking me up with a diff and axles at a very good price and he says it's from a skyline and he says the gears are shorter. when i researched the skyline diff, it says the r34 has 3.55:1 gears which would mean the gears are longer. I'm just trying to verify what car the diff is coming off of....now that i have this info i dont think i want it seeing as the CA 180's haven't been built for a while and it's probably got high mileage on it.

Well if its a gtr their more like the 300zx, BUUUUUT the 4.3 gear came in R32 GTS, and the R33 GTS is same as the 240, Ive been looking for 4.3 gears
