I'm thinking of gears, and also doing the 4.77 or 4.57 dilemma. I think something like a 4.57 may positively help, but a 4.77 would be too much as far as RPMs go.

just swap the diff out form a stock car, tons of owners want gears

Trade your diff for someone elses stock + cash when you need to go back to stock. Someone will buy it

Anything you do to any car will affect resale and usually negatively unless an enthusiast buys it and likes what you did.

Any Mods lower the value of the car unless you find a buyer who wants exactly what you have done. Modded cars also tend to be driven harder then other cars. I have a pristene 19991 300zx twin turbo I just picked up. For 1300.00 I can bump the HP to 400 and keep the stock reliability. I am not sure yet if I will keep the car. The car is going up in value since low mileage examples are getting very hard to find. If I mod it to 400 HP I drop the value 25%.

really? 300zs TT are dirt cheap now

I've thought about this a lot as well. I guess it would be easy to swap out the diff. Honestly the only way I could see it really being a problem is if u got a sudden urge to upgrade and got a good offer on a trade-in for your car or something.

On a side-note, would anyone consider not saying anything? When you trade-in a car do you sign anything saying there are no hidden mods? I honestly don't remember the last time I traded in a car there was so much to sign I forget. Not that I would do this, just curious if anyone has bought a car and had gears done from the previous owner and had no idea. lol . . .

I agree with everyone else. If you want to get a set of gears then go for it, and before you sell the car just swap pumpkins with someone that is local.

most people probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between having the gears or not....
