Having spent a whole evening searching the archives and using the Transmission calculator (http://www.geocities.com/z_design_studio/transmission.html), I am still not sure as to what Diff ratio i should try and locate.
I have a 240Z with a 5 Speed box, tyres for now are 195/70/14, redline at 7K.
I have always thought that an R200 3.9 would be best.. however it looks as if a 3.54 would be better.
Results:
3.54 DIFF
1st 49mph
2nd 78mph
3rd 111mph
4th 146mph
5th 171mph
3.7 DIFF
1st 47mph
2nd 75mph
3rd 106mph
4th 139mph
5th 162mph
3.9 DIFF
1st 45mph
2nd 71mph
3rd 101mph
4th 132mph
5th 155mph
Am i right, or do all these figures mean nothing in the real world is one ration more likely to lose traction the with another?
Appreciate any help and advice.
What years of 280ZX were these diffs offered.
