Thanks but i can't take any credit for the vid or conversion. Dirty sanchez was the man who did both. The box is a Nissan, and seems to run some sort of converter box between the speedo drive and the box itself.I saw this vid months ago and wondered whos it was. Very nice! How did you interface the staz speedo with the nissan driveline? Did you use a nissan box or mitsi?
Gear ratios 200sx vs Starion are:
5MT (S14) ------- 5MT (Starion)
1 3.321---------- 1. 3.37
2.1.902---------- 2. 2.03
3 1.308---------- 3. 1.36
4 1.000---------- 4. 1.00
5 0.838---------- 5. 0.86
Final Drive : 3.692 --------------------Final Drive : 3.54
I like the 3:5 diff but it is very easy to be caught off boost in 5th on the freeway. If it was sitting 500rpm or so higher it would come on boost much easier, and make overtaking much nicer. I am hoping the 3.9 swap will fix this.
I believe Dirty Sanchez had a 3.9 diff in the car for a while, and i think the speedo may be is corrected to that. It's possible the 3.5 diff was fitted for the vid with a 3.9 gear making the car seem faster in than it really is. Guess i will have to make my own film on a private road with a gps inclusion to find out
