how is a 4.63 final drive with NA KA? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have yet to find good revies about this setup...4.63 final drive with NA KA? there are a bunch of reviews for turbo'd cars but not really much for NA KA. this setup would be for a track car, so MPG is out the window. how big of a difference is there going from 4.08? how much faster does it feel?

Unfortunately I don't have any first hand experience with that specific one, but from what I've read and discussed it definitely livens up the car. Though on tracks with long straightaways you may feel limited.

I loved my NA KA with the 4.63, highway driving kinda sucked though.....

dreamN, with the power i have and the length of the straights here in socal ill probably hit 100mph before slamming on the brakes.

Shahab: i guess u had to drive at 65mph to keep it round 3000rpm? how much faster would you say? have you raced anybody that wouldve beaten you if you didnt have 4.63?

You get better acceleration with the 4.63 and the car feels considerably more powerful, If you plan on staying NA KA I would go with the 4.63. Yea it was probably around 3000rpm or so to cruise at 65 but if your gonna hit about 100 at the end of the straight you'll be fine.

Definitely worth it.

shahab: thank you. thats awesome! i cant wait to get it. i dont know why people say " with that ratio youll be at 4000 to 5000 rpm while going 70mph"

I can tell you on my 4.36 I'm at 3700-3800 going 70 mph.

So 4-5 doesn't seem too off.

That's what I'm getting for my underpowered ka track car
