Swapping gears from a 3rd gen to a 4th? Ok here is my question. I have a 2000 Z with stock 2.73s. I know where there is a 83 Z with 3.73s. The guy told me I could have the rear end if I could use it. Is there a way I can swap out the gears on these cars? My car has abs and traction control. Im not wanting to swap the entire rear end, I just want the gears. Can it be done easily?

83 gears are 7.5" which is the same as if you ordered aftermarket 3.73 gears.
Since in your post,you want to use only the gears,IF they were for the same carrier series they would be a compatible swap. BUT they're probably NOT because the 2.73s' require and are on a 2 series carrier,in 1983 3.73s' were a factory option and would be on a 3 series carrier. 3 series 3.73s' would not be applicable to use on a 2 series carrier.
