gears for 240sx

does any one know wear i could get a cheap set of 3.90 ratio rear gears for the 240sx. The reason i ask is I race a 240 but i need different gearing to make the right rpm. Ive gotten as close as i can in the trans but need different rear gearing

How are you racing and what are you looking to get? I am only asking because I am curious to what gear changes can do for me as well.

Hi I race an 89 nissan 240sx in a local mini stock class at my home tracks. I need a 3.90 ratio ring and pinion gear set so that i turn less rpm and mainain the same speed. The only thing this hurts is your acceleration and in oval track racing you dont need a lot of acceleration if you can make your car handle and keep the r's up in the corners.

God Bless you. Mini stock. I thought I was reading wrong when I read that.

You have to post up some pictures of that beast or at least email them to me at stanbo@speakeasy.org.

I will look around for you and assign this task to my old school guy Angel.

They don't have to be new. As long as they are in good condition.

I would call Balanced Performance. They work on some 240s in the Nasport Racing series.

Tell them StanBo sent you. When they ask what is a StanBo, you have broken the ice and will get the parts for cheaper. Trust me
