What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[scotty nm35]

Not true. Pretty sure Craig said 350Z 5MT rear diff, but I'd have to check.

I think the VQ25DD front diff is the good one though, haven't double checked yet.

The 350z manual lsd is the one I run too, different ratio so you will need to source a PM front diff in the same 3.5:1 ratio.

[slippylotion]

Yep, vq25dd is also 3.5 ratio.

[PN-Mad]

I think the vq25dd has a 4.3 final drive.

[slippylotion]

Yeah but the vq25dd with 5spd auto has a 3.5 ratio. That's the one you want.

[PN-Mad]

Oh, 5 speed. Ok. Yeah couple of people have gone to 3.5 finals now. Seem happy. Don't know about the cost benefit of it compared to other mods, as the two cars with it done are probably the most modified in the world!

[scotty nm35]

The car feels much more responsive with the lower ratios, it gets the slug moving quicker but the downside is cruising on the freeway at 2,500 revs. Just what I need, less K's to a tank...

[Jetwreck]

you should have more k's..........less load!

On the fwy i'm in -boost simply because I am not riding the torque converted right down low at 2,000rpm anymore(it used to be +boost).......I am pretty sure I was 10.2lts per 100km's on the way home from Vic the other day fully ladden.

[Jetwreck]

I actually think it decreases fuel consumption......being at 2

[ironpaw]

OK, so if I was to swap the diffs I would need to put in the ARX LSD and the VQ25DD front Diff?

Can't do just either one?

Result - more response?

[scotty nm35]

What? Have you read what was posted at all?

You can just drop an ARX diff in, no need to change the front one as the ratios are the same.

If you go for the 350z LSD you will need a PM front diff or as Slippy found, a 2.5dd front diff may be the same 3.5:1 ratio.

I fitted a z32 AFM (dead easy BTW), and blew up a china turbo.

[scotty nm35]

The Stagea made 335 rwkw at 25 psi last night with the new sound control exhaust. Very interesting to drive now, especially in rear drive.

[slippylotion]

E85 or 98?
