You need to get one from a 6MT.

Hmm, I wonder of that's because final drive swaps aren't common yet on the g35. Still, I'm amazed that not one single tuner has addressed this?


I know with mustangs, final drive swaps are a $200-300 job, so they are common. Speedometer pickup is electronic and off the trans and there are plenty of handheld tuners or custom tunes that can recall the speedo for final drive ratio, and different size tires.

Maybe demand hasn't quite given a reason fpr that support to develop for the g35/350z ?

Do the awd cars use a 3.7? I know they are open diff but thought imread they used the shorter final drive and not the 3.3. Or did they get 3.5?

I think the reason nobody much messes with reprogramming for a new FD is because the speedometer works off the wss instead of the way a lot of other cars use the vss so if you change the FD on say an F-body, the speedometer is off, whereas if you change FD on a Z or G, you just lose cruise control, but the speedometer is still accurate

True, but that would drive me nuts. To me, that's a half-*** mod if you can't do it right....even if it's just cruise control.

^Oh trust me, I agree.

Especially with the G35. If it was a track built 350z and you lost cc, big freakin woop.. but with a luxury sport sedan/coupe it should have cruise control.

2003-2006 AWD cars use 3.5 gearing. The 2007+ awd uses 3.7.

If you change the gears, the sensor value on the driveshaft doesn't match up with that of the wheel sensors. If the difference becomes too great, the CC thinks there's a problem therefore it won't engage. The 3.69 gears cause this problem, at least in the 03/04 cars.
I think sdgenious has an 03 w/ 3.7 and didnt lose cc... I have 04 (albeit half year car) and I didnt lose cc... there are others as well... why do you keep telling people it loses cc?

I lose mine after 90... I've corrected Dave in the past, but he continues to tell people it loses cc.

Wasn't this discussed and we figured out if you exceed a certain point (such as 80 for Mark) and try to set the cruise, it disables it for the next 3 or so times you start the car? Or am I remembering wrong
