Changing Rooms....er Diffs

[666DAN]

I've got a 4.083 diff at the moment, which I think feels too tall especially when it takes so long to wind from 0-3000rpm *yawn*

Do you think I would benefit much from going to the 4.363 LSD item that's available?

Can I near a few opinions on this? Personally I reckon it'll be sweet

Wow, and to think our kingswood had 3.55 and was too short.... So we went to 2.78s....

Yay V8 torque.

Anyway. Screw the diff ratios, just give it some more low-down power

nah...not going to spend too much more on the "N/A" engine, just looking at cheapish options

What are you doing revving it under 3000rpm in the first place?

You will rip through the midrange and top end quicker, and have to chance gears more.

Gear changing especially on a mountain run, you'll have to shuffle the box more.

You have to remember that the power delivery of the car has an influence on how long it takes to get from 0-3000rpm, its not a bottom end torque monster. Shortening the gearing has other consequences. It'll rev higher @ 100kmh, will use more fuel most likely, gear changing as mentioned.

I would keep it as is if it's good over 3000rpm.

Whats the stock diff ratio in R34 GT-T ?

There is always lightened flywheels, camgears, or other ways to improve the low end response that you can consider also.

GT-t is 4.0 or 4.1 depending on auto or manual......4WD or N/A 5spd is 4.3

Slip: I don't have to change gears it's auto
