Who makes aftermarket ones? What choices are avilable? What comes stock in the S14's?

Campos · 01-09-2007, 06:03 AM

nismo makes some, but i don't know if they are still avail.

Ruby240 · 01-09-2007, 06:31 AM

Well thats just gay. R&P gears are the cheapest bang for the buck. At least they were the cheapest mod for any domestic I've ever owned.

Whats the stock ratio? Is it a pretty short gear?

If you look on ebay under diffs you can find diffs that have a nismo ratio. i think it is like 4.3. just google it youll be sure to find something.

That's because Mustangs come with what...a 2.73 rear end!?!?!

Stock 240SX (all years) is 4.08...hell, call it a four-ten gear...about as short as you'd want to go.

What's your goal with the car???

4.08 sucks.

4.3 is baller city.

4.6 you need an SR with a 9k revlimit

4.8 and 5.13 you need a 12k revlimit and 250n/a HP.

Nismo sells 3.6 through 4.6 that came out of various R200 cars, E-SR sells the 4.8 and 5.13 from the old 4speed datsuns.

Technically, that's incorrect. Nismo Japan does not produce ring/pinion sets, they're OE parts sourced through Nissan Motorsports US, but since Nismo parts are now available here they're mixed in under one name brand through dealers.

McRussellPants · 01-09-2007, 01:10 PM

well yeah, no-one actually makes their own ring gears.

J's Racing ring gears are Mazda gears
E*SR ring gears are old datsun ring gears.
Nismo/Nissan Motorsports ring gears all come out of the Frontier/CA18DET/CA18DE cars and such.
