Stock R32 Driveline Rpm Vs Speed Numbers

Hi

I have a RB20DET powered Datsun 260z with stock gbox with 4.4:1 LSD.

Currently the car accelerates well but the gearchanges are very frequent and the engine doesnt seem to labour much the as the car is around 1100kg. max speed in second is 110 at around 7200rpm. its doing 60kmh in 4th gear at around 2300rpm. it accelerates well and lag is very minimal or non existant considreing it has a larger turbo and longer intercooler piping. though this aint bad but on the highway it chews fair bit of petrol as it does over 3200rpm in 5th at 110km/h.

im interested to know at what RPM does a stock driveline r32 GTSt do at 60km/h in 4th gear so i can compare to mine.Alo if someone knows what rpm in 5th gear at 110km/h.

if there is much difference ill be looking at changing the diff ratio to 3.9 or 3.7 to improve the fuel economy on long boring trips. as the car is fairly light weight dont think it will impact too much on acceleration for those very short of the line trips.

thanks in advance for help.

the set up you got there is perfect for drag racing, unfortunatley the down side to that is the gas consumption, my ole gtst was 1200rpm at fifty kms an hour in 5th, and sit bang on 2800 rpm @ 100kph.

so yeah changing the diff ratio will fix your problem, but i hardly call that a problem.

Thaks guys

ive checked mine it does 1350rpm in 5th @ 50km/h so 150revs more. doesnt sound too bad.

so it could be the design of the car as well it aint too aerodynamic which probably makes the fuel consuption bit worse than on R32.

ItaliaZR1 what turbo you running on your R32? very good numbers just wondering what turbo and how lagy is it?

im currently running the VG30DET and boost at 14psi. its been chipped to take upto 17psi. car responded well from the previous setting to the new but dont think that turbo will be happy at 17psi.

again thanks for your help. i think i leave my diff as it is for the time being till i hit the track and find out the numbers it chucks out.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
