I am looking to buy a 3.38 or 3.46 diff to replace my 2.93 diff. So let me know if you have one. Alternatively, if you know where to get one locally (I'm in Melbourne) I'm open to ideas - note that I've already tried BM Penn.
my car has got a 3.38 ratio now, can i replace it by a 3.46
any problems?
anyone has done it?
where can i get one and how much can i pay for it?
cheers guys
Yes a few of us have. I believe the 330 cabs have a lower ratio diff stock than the coupes/sedans. so you will probably have to go for an even lower diff ratio. I went from 2.93 to 3.38 and it was a good bang for your buck mod. Better than the exhaust and on par with the AFE CAI.
Let's just say with all my mods, my 2nd gear feels like how 1st gear was when it was stock. You do not need to get your speedo re-calibrated because our cars don't read the speed from the diff! I have verified this on my GPS.
