What I found was that the FD was definitely a 4.785 however what was even more strange was my 5th gear made no sense either. Will and I decided to pull our trannies and actually count teeth on the gear sets. We had enough facts to support all the labor.
Sure enough I found out my car had....
4.785FD
GS-R 5th gear
Spoon 1.5 LSD
Consequently Will and I swapped FDs and now we're both happy. I have his 4.40 and he has my 4.785.
....make sense

...........and loving it. Nothing like cruising at 5k rpm doing 85ish.
