Could you elaborate on SRM becoming unreliable? How so?

A few laps in it would not operate... so I would start heel toeing. Then it would come back on, and so on. In one instance it didn't work in an area that REALY upset the car. So we just opted to leave it off. Our traction control is wired off permanently. I'm certain UpRev or COBB could solve it quickly. We are also running an OS clutch and flywheel, may be contributing due to quicker revs?

ok...so the gears came in and after measuring eveything it looks like its a go only issue that i see is the new ring gear is a little thicker but it shouldn't be a proble.now the only thing i am waiting on is i ordered in a new pinion nut, crush sleeve and both pinion bearings. when they come in ill tear down my diff and install.

Last guy I talked to on this said his syncro rev stoped working after the gear install.

We need a Sticky thread that states exactly what you need for this based on what you have:

Base Manual (no LSD) ---> ?
Base Auto (no LSD) -----> ?
Sport Manual (LSD) -----> ?

I have been trying to firure out which parts exactly I would need to do this. I know I need a different diff and they say the 350Z will do but does that mean I lose a gear by using their diff?

The diff has nothing to do with the number of gears. From what I understand if you have an auto you need the pumpkin. If you already have a diff your axles are good to go, but if you don't have a diff you may need axle stubs. I may have some of that backwards and that is what I'm trying to verify.

cool thanks for the info. So I guess I will need the pumkin and stubs and will do the LSD too if I do this. Might just go GTM SC too but would still want the LSD then.

so you ruined a good stock product when you were going to get the lung tubes. Now if you need to go back to stick ones you will have to buy new ones. I could see if you werent going to get others but you are. Not mad at ya tho, just not the way I would have done it. So how does it sound and perform?
