You have to be careful about changing the ratios. I believe a stock R33 GTR has 4.11 gears. I think that the GTS4 has 4.30.

My GTR ended up having rears at 4.30 and fronts at 4.11 - and that stuffed my transfer case real good. I had to change it out to get it back to stock. I had a shop do it. Rear would be relatively easy. But the front is a real bear since it is attached in the transfer case and oil pan.

the only real viable option is r32 GTS4 gears. 32 GTS4 is actualy 4.375:1 and yes you need both front and rear crown wheel and pinions. they are a good upgrade from the GTR 4.111 gears. and they are not easy to find!

ah, well if you want to go that way then R34 gears are the way to go. but to be honest most people want more acceleration/less top speed. going to 3.9s will give you more top speed but cost you acceleration. considering with the stock gearing you can get to 300km/h (which without decent power you'll never see on any aus track) then i'm not sure what you want to make it even higher still?

you may need to confirm though that the 34 crown wheels and pinion gears will work with your 33 diffs. i'm not sure as I've never heard of anyone actually wanting the 3.9 gears. unlesss you live neat the autobahn and want to play with some ferraris and lambos!

i'm go out on limb here here and guess he's after highway economy. not everyone is after crazy acceleration. i've had the same idea

I'm getting a 3.6 final drive put into my R34GTT, I do HEAPS of highway and freeway driving, so I can justify doing it... I'll find out how it goes when I pick it up tomorrow.. :blink:

Hahaham I've been to a few different websites, and I've recovered a range of 'different' final drive readings:

3.55

3.545

3.369

3.27

3.266

I'd like to know, which bloody one is actually correct... :blink:

      I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.

      200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
