I hate my 4.44 clutch type

Quick question hoping for a quick answer because i cannot find anything about this through a good deal of searching

 

I have an STI clutch type R180 diff with a 4.44 gear ratio and i'd like to swap in my ratio from the original 1972 Datsun R180 3.364 (possible 3.545, but need to confirm) is this possible without any modification? 

 

I am getting really annoyed with my 70mph 3300rpm cruising speed, and the terribly short gear ratio.

Nice to see you're still around.

 

As long as the ring gear bolt holes and spacing are the same you should be able to swap in just the center section like on the R200. I guess the problem is finding out if the bolt holes on the ring gear are the same diameter and pattern.

 

Also looks to be slight difference between early and late R180. 

 

I know my STI R180 was a 3.7, could you not just swap to an STI ring and pinion that fits your need?
