I have a 2JZ swapped 240sx that ive been playing around with forever and im trying to find a good final drive ratio along with 1st-4th gear ratios so i can accelerate and drift at a good pace without constantly redlining but i cant seem to get it tweaked to my liking. Any suggestions?
I usually just use stock gearing and edit the final drive. BUT sometimes I do edit gears 1-3 but the changes are usually minor.
My personal favorite setups for 2JZ powered cars is 3.73/3.90 for mid-power ranges (450-600hp, 3.73 for skinny tires at this power level & 3.90 for meatier tires at this power level), 3.13/3.27 for high-powered ranges (750hp+, the 3.27 I use for this range when using really wide tires like 285’s and wider), and for Hilux with 2JZ I use 4.90 (because really meaty tires & my Hilux is more of a trophy truck build) with 1-6 gears from the Quaife QBE60G 6spd box. If memory serves correct (Xbox is at home, I’m visiting mom) the ratios are 1st- 2.27, 2nd- 1.55, 3rd- 1.22, 4th- 1.00, 5th- 0.88, & 6th- 0.81. The QBE60G ratios are by far my favorite ratios to use in Forza for FR cars.
