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.

    • 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.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
