i got a deal on the trans and by the time i bought a clutch, r154, shifter extension, and bellhousing, it wouldn't have been that much cheaper than a v160

that's good to hear.
it took a lot more time and energy that i expected but when i was r154 i put the 97+ Q45 3.69 r & p onto my s14 OBX diff and made it fit into the s14 stock housing. it worked really well with the r154 and i learned a lot about differentials.
that being said i think i could probably figure out how to put the 3.13 ring & pinion from a Pathfinder diff onto the Q45 diff if I had a Pathfinder diff to play with or maybe even possibly the 350z 3.35 r & p would fit. i'm thinking about giving it a try eventually but right now i just want to get the car back together and drive it a little bit.
i put together some excel speadsheets showing the effect on speed/rpm using V160 with the 4.08, 3.69, 3.35, and 3.13.
how much power are you putting down 2jzs14? do you do any drag racing or would you just want the better gear ratio for long trip and cruising?
