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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
