    1st 3.214
    2nd 1.925
    3rd 1.302
    4th 1.000
    5th 0.752
    Final drive 4.111

    I guess the skyline has the advantage of a 8000 rpm redline (mine use to valve float at 10,000rpm...)
    I have 4.11's in my Old Vette racecar with a Muncie M22 Rock crusher Talk about close ratio. 2.20/1.64/1.28/1. This car taches 8500rpms on a SBC 327. 540 rwHP (not Flywheel. Car runs high 10's on a road race setup. I have video footage of it on youtube. I used to be the top Vette in the nation back in the early 90's. I use to beat Hobaugh and Thorton. Hobaugh is the current guy to beat in todays world. I don't have to money to bring that car out of retirement- nor the desire. I have other interests now then running the little tight cornered Goodguys baby-autox bullshit(About 1/4 the size of conventional SCCA autox).

    oh and if you do this let me know if your redline changes. Mine did twice out of 3 times. pain in the ass. The weird thing is it didn't change to the 4000rpm neutral rev limit but to some weird thing like 5750? Some sort of limp mode perhaps? But why it doesn't do it every time i don't know??
