I was wondering how long the legs are on a Stagea S1 or 2...?

Manual / Auto.........

I know my 32(manual) hit approx. 250km/h by the time it hit limiter in 5th.

Assuming;

-No speed cut

-Has the power to actually get through the gears..

Im sure most of us know that 3rd(auto) is no where near Limiter before Speed cut hits. Got me thinking........

My Series two tiptronic does 60mph at about 2200rpm. Ignoring all the wind resistance problems etc, if I had enough horsepower in theory I could do around 170-180mph just before I hit the limiter.

I've not had the opportunity to open mine up and see what it got up to, but I can safely say 140mph is no problem with plenty left to spare.

Realistically I would expect it to top out at around 155-160, which isn't too bad for an old Datsun estate !

Are you sure your S2 is that high geared?

When I had the auto box my S1 was doing about 2600rev/min at 110km/hr.

That would give a theoretical maximum of 296 at 7000

I would think a stocker would be struggling to do much more than 200

Our final drive is about 4.1 :1

I have got a 3.454:1 front diff and will get a matching rear diff to reduce the revs at 110 to more like 2200 (and increase the theoretical maximum to well over 320!)

Well of course I could be out on my RPM by 100 rpm or so, but not too far off. I must admit that I was surprised at the gearing. It is definately higher geared than my old R33 GTR. I've checked the speedo with GPS so I know that's accurate. I'm running 245/40/18 tyres so I think that I'm geared up a little there too.

To be honest I haven't looked up the tiptronic gearbox and diff ratios and done the calculations. I just assumed that Nissan had geared things up a little to try to help fuel consumption and were less bothered about acceleration on the Stagea than the Skyline.

There is little difference in the stock specifications:

R33 GTR 4.111:1

Stagea 4.083:1

although there have been rumours of Stageas being found with diffs with higher gearing and a mechanical rather than viscous LSD. I don't know if these were odd diffs that were lying around the factory or whether Japanese owners changed them before they were exported second hand. Maybe someone with access to Nissan Fast and time on their hands could have a look to see if any other final drive ratios are listed. I would asume that the 260RS would have the GTR diffs (4.111:1).

^^^^ not nessicarily

you need to take a speed at 2000rpm and one at 3000

take that figure and multiply it by how many times between say 3000 and redline and then add your original speed at 3000

some cars will only do 20kmh/1000rpm, some will do 40

Lol at this thread!! Just so your aware its extreamly bad to limiter bash top gear!! The 260 did like 160 170 at around 4300 or so I think

Bob arent you aware pipster has had one of these cars for under a year and knows them inside out? Moved up in the world from his "Custom Purple" 32

:blink:

so you guys think that you just get your speed at a certain rpm and double it to get it at twice the rpm?

say at 100 your doing 2000 rpm and at 3000 prm you are doing 130 (just for arguments sake)

that means that for every 1000 rpm in 5th you do 30km/h

so if your car redlines at 7k (for arguments sake again) that gives you 5000rpm onto of 2000 which means that your top speed would be 5x30+100 = 250

you guys realise i was replying to lachlanw? just clearing up what i said

and kidafa, i didn't pay to get my 32 painted, its how it came when i bought it, it was the only one near me that was in ok condition as there is limited choice down here in tas and i didn't know enough about rego transfer to buy one from the mainland

maybe you should get over the fact that i once owned a purple car

i thought this section was about helping ppl not putting others down

Just checked my Stagea. It is definately right around 2200 rpm at 60mph ( 96kmh ) and 2550rpm at 70mph (112 kmh )

I took the rpm readings from my Greddy infometer but my Tacho is reading the same, much more accurate than all my Skylines have been.

I can't be bothered jacking it up and turning the shafts to check the diff ratios though.

LOL... good read :)

So no one has actually wound one of these right out?

I doubt that a factory one could really push the final drive right out.

But pipster11 is correct, as final drive4th Auto/5th manual) isnt a 1:1 ratio

as it is an over drive gear. So one would have to measure the difference betwene 2 RPM points and work out the difference. Then multiply by RPM (ei: 7,000rpm)

The personally found the Aero on the Stagea isnt all that flash either :)

As a test I raced a Stock Turbo Ford Ranger... I had the sun rooves + windows open... Ranger left me behind LOL! Even with everything shut... not much difference.......................................

Is this really how you calculate speed vs rpm ?

I always thought that in top gear there would always be a constant speed for rpm ratio ignoring drag etc.

So taking the example given above if I'm doing 100m/h at 2000rpm in top gear that's 50m/h per 1000rpm throughout the rev range. How could that change to 30m/h per 1000rpm whilst remaining in the same gear even if the ratio is an overdrive ?

EDIT. The more I think about this, the more I think you are wrong. The gear ratios are fixed so we are correct, you can just double up etc.

Edited by DeanR33

it too fail to see your logic . if the gear box is in any gear & you double the input rpm(engine rpm) the output rpm (prop shaft ) will double ?? how can it not ??

you are multiplying the engine rpm by the same ratio ? no ?

my bad, all this maths at uni is making me go crazy

of course if you double the input speed you will double the output, i was thinking that the gearbox was some form of quadratic lol

check this thing out: has presets for everything :)

manual stagea is good for 169 mph apparently (270kmh) dunno about that tho

Just checked my Stagea. It is definately right around 2200 rpm at 60mph ( 96kmh ) and 2550rpm at 70mph (112 kmh )

I took the rpm readings from my Greddy infometer but my Tacho is reading the same, much more accurate than all my Skylines have been.

I can't be bothered jacking it up and turning the shafts to check the diff ratios though.

That pretty much accords with my 2600 @110 so your diff will be stock and the slight extra speed could be larger diameter wheels.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
