4.08 Frontier gear swap

For all the effort to replace parts, you may as well just get a complete pumpkin from a older 350Z MT; rebuild and install the 4.08 gears. The older pumpkins just bolt into the 370. There isn't much difference between the years.

this is true. if your have a manual sport or non sport it is the same gear. the limited slip doesnt matter. on autos the carrier( where the ring gear bolts to) is different. you would need to change this to a manual car one and also the little stub axles going out of the diff or buy a 350z manual read diff.

tonight i am starting the install of the frontier gears.i will be posting up any issues that i run into.
