hi guys well its time to replace the 2.75 ratio with something a bit more sensible.....
the drivline is EFI v8 + supra 5 speed + 9 inch.
i was going to go with either 3.5 or 3.7, but i want to hear some of your experiences with these ratios. reading from the other threads 3.5's are the go......
also how will this gear change alter my speedo, also, where in syndey can i get it done, any mobs i should watch out for. Craft diff springs to mind....most importantly how much can i expect to pay?
any advise greatly appreciated.....
cheers
john

Gday John.
Ive got a "gear calculator" program that will help you decide..
I'll post a link to it shortly to help you make up your mind!
I'd go with either CRAFT or Maybe Bosnjak engineering..
The guy who set up my 3.25 LSD centre has retired...
Expect to pay around $500 for a ratio swap i believe maybe more!
Cheers.

Terry is at wetherill park......where are bosnjak located at?
both Craft and Bosnjak do good work but Bosnjak may be a lil more exp. have used both and happy with both.
id go to Bosnjak if the job will include welding. he does top work and probably hundreds of toranas.

i had 3.25s behind a 308 and supra, was pretty good off the mark and had a strong top end (220+kmh), i would recommend them!!
i would maybe put 3.5s in but 1st may be a waste of time, and may result in gearbox breakages as 1st to 2nd needs to be changed easy for a supra to survive, and dont load up 5th gear either, drop it back to fourth before accelrating
