Hi Pete,

Hows the accelleration improvement, should go a little better now.

I should be able to tell you very soon as drop all remaining AWD components back in last night (have been running the gtr in, in 2wd) done over 1300km now on minium boost (feeling rather proud not to have give in to temption hehe). I just got to finish fitting new oil cooler and complete oil and filter change. So hope like friday arvo i should be able to see the full impact of the different ratios.

pete

hows your travelling along (whats the kms up to now lol)

you sacrifice top end speed with the GTS4 gear ratio swap though don't you?

dude the old ratio was like 160kms 4000rpm and we are only dropping 6%(8000rpm=320 - 6% 300km) or there abouts how often do people want to do 300km plus, but mine can run out to 9000rpm with full new internals now so it more than off set it (~338kms) and no i dont intent to find out. The fast i have ever run the car was back ages ago once 280km it was still pulling on and i had like a 100rwhp less than i do now but i really dont have any interest to try it again as the world is flying pass pretty damn quick.

hmm... now that you put it that way, I guess the difference between 320km/h and 300km/h is minimal in a street car. With the GTR gearbox, how many RPM were you doing in 4th gear at 100km/h and what is it now with the GTS4 gearbox?

You would think the improvement in acceleration would be somewhere around hte ratio between the change, meaning the acceleration would be somewhere around 4.375/4.11 = 6% faster. This should apply to RPM too

So where it was 4000 at 100, it should now be 6% lower at 3750rpm.... i would think?

wrong way dude

it has to rev high now to make same ground speed, ie i have geared it down.

  • 8 years later...

Apologies reviving an ancient thread though I wanted to ask if this is the case when you have an R33 Gtr gearbox with GTS4 (4.375) ratios in the front and rear diffs.

I purchased a 21 spline gts-4 gearbox speedo pinion and my mechanic friend had a very brief look at it and is not convinced if it is the correct part or not.

Is the R32 GTR gearbox speedo drive different to the one in the R33 GTR gearbox?

Alternatively is there any reliable electronic devices out there that can correct my speedo instead?

Cheers

Gavin

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
