SteeevO Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 If Superior Axle and Gear made nissan gears. lets say for example, 4.875 for the H233B (oh wow i just had to order some!) and offered them at less then $200 a set. how many do you think would be moved in a year? Honest opinions only please. and stay positive.

yozsi Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 i'd buy one in a heart beat for my sas swap. hell i already bought a 4.88 r&p for a d44 and need it for my rear end. i bet they would sell a good 20 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'll say the same thing I did in your other crybaby for no reason post. If you want cheap gears buy Dana or Ford axels. I don't doubt that they would consider making gears for us, but think your price expectations are a joke. Also, only making them for a H233b would limit sales to SAS and 2wd peeps. Also given that most people I know doing a SAS are going to 5.13s that would limit the quantity more. Not to mention, if they made a matched set for a r200, it at least could be sold to a broader market given the other vehicles that use that diff type. R&D isn't cheap, smaller the production run, more overhead to recoupe, why the ones that are available aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoohaa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 If cheap gears were made available for the H233b I would say that more folks (nissan and non-nissan) would use this axle in general. It's a super tough axle, but since gears are so steep for it no one can afford to use it when there are Dana 60s out there with cheap gears and lockers. I would have purchased a set of gears without a second thought at $200 for the H233b. I know at least five people in my club (TNT) would have purchased gears as well. It would take time for the word to get out, but once it did I bet the H233b would start to appear in more non-nissan vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'm with hoohaa on this one... i think if the aftermarket woke up... nissans would be more common. direct people that need H233B gears to here. we are getting somethng going here. -Steven [Glass Half Full] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I would definitely save my duckets and coins and buy a set if I could get them that cheap. They're $500 from NISMO or Nissan IIRC. I need R200 gears too. I won't have money for an SAS for a LONG time and I need to keep it IFS, that means re-gearing it to make it more useable...and it's not getting re-geared at $500 per axle. No way in hell. I bet TONS of other people would jump on the chance to get cheaper gears. If I remember right, they used a 10-bolt ring gear for some H233B diffs and a 12 bolt for others, so you may want to figure out the most commonly used pattern and go with that as a starter, unless the gear company is willing to do two designs for the same axle as a first run or something.
