Well, I lit up the tyres all the way in 1st at the weekend so Mike sIS right and Autocar IS wrong, shame as I'd liked them to be right !
So Mike, with standard turbo wheels and 225/5016 tyres, if I change the diff to a 3.7 and assuming 5600 revs, what mph readings will I have and at how many revs, ie at 80 mph, how many revs in fifth ? Please !
This is assuming tha the N/A 3.7 diff will fit into the Turbo and is strong enough ?
Over here, top speed is becoming less interesting but short-term sprints are !
Why don't you just fit smaller 15" NA wheels with low profile rubber?....That will give sharper acceleration too...some of the Z31Turbo drag racers in the US do this!
Before you start reving the life out of your 300ZX, best to check if the cambelt has been changed...if not it's worth doing, as they are fairly cheap to replace!
Cheerz,
