i own a 94 300zx nonturbo and was looking into making it a bit quicker. I dont want to add any horsepower, but i am really interested in re-doing the gears in the rear end instead. I would like gears that would give me quicker 0-60 times, but still offer me good gas mileage. I would at least like top car to top out at a hundred mph, right now it will hit 137 mph. I want to keep the motor stock, but want to change gears instead. I know that jeeps and off road vehicle use super low gears and can climb over anything. My friend has a rock crawler buggy powered by a 120hp motor that climbs over anything. Is the same idea applied to sports cars? if so what gears would be advised for someone like myself

Your problem will be finding gears and a qualified Technician to remove and install the third member and install the new ring and pinion gear. Yes you will have better acceleration and less gas milage and 4,000 rpms at 70 miles an hour in fith gear. So you have to ask yourself is it worth it to gain .5 seconds to 60 mph and cost yourself 5 miles a gallon?

Changing your gear ratios to a race setup will give you the acceleration u r looking for... but strectch the ratio in your 4th and 5th gears to give you the higher top speed that you wana have as well...
