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

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
