Going by your details as posted above Merli, unless you're talking about drag racing that drop between 1st and 2nd is pretty much irrelevant.

If talking track, 2750 between 2nd and 3rd is a much smaller powerband and even that would only be used at a tight track like Wakefield.

A consideration maybe?

I wish I knew what my ratios were.

Well................... not really :D :D

Are you saying that you only use 5750-8500 rpm whilst driving on the track? Often it's not feasible to change down a gear to keep it in that rev range...

Example:

A tight corner that should be taken in 3rd gear at about 5000 rpm can't be taken in 2nd gear, as that would equate to 7500rpm in 2nd gear (with R33 GTR gearing). You'd actually lose time in the extra two gear changes needed to use 2nd gear into and out of that corner, and you'd only be in 2nd gear for about 0.5 seconds as it revs from 7500-8500rpm anyway.... Make sense?

In reality, you'd be aiming to have a strong 4500-8500rpm range around the track...

Oops, sorry mate...

Here are the gear ratios for the R33 GTS-t Auto box... The R34 Tiptronic is just an automatic gearbox, so I assume it would be the same ratios as the R33 Auto?

1st - 2.785

2nd - 1.545

3rd - 1.000

4th - 0.694

Final Drive - Dunno, probably 4.111

lol, I have an R34 RB25DET that I'm swapping into my 89 240sx SOOO i found the gear ratios for the GT-T and got the answers..... assuming your car is manual transmission

Engine speeds in top gear:-

30 MPH = 977 RPM 40 MPH = 1303 RPM 50 MPH = 1629 RPM 60 MPH = 1955 RPM

70 MPH = 2280 RPM 80 MPH = 2606 RPM 90 MPH = 2932 RPM 100 MPH = 3258 RPM

Top Speed in 1 gear = 37.574 MPH

And changes into 2 gear at 4000 RPM dropping 2800 RPM

Top Speed in 2 gear = 63.876 MPH

And changes into 3 gear at 4338 RPM dropping 2462 RPM

Top Speed in 3 gear = 100.120 MPH

And changes into 4 gear at 5015 RPM dropping 1785 RPM

Top Speed in 4 gear = 135.763 MPH

And changes into 5 gear at 5181 RPM dropping 1619 RPM

Top Speed in 5 gear = 178.176 MPH

And changes into 6 gear at 5804 RPM dropping 996 RPM

Top Speed in 6 gear = 208.746 MPH

oh yeah, ignore the 6th gear (obviously)

Shoot Merli, you really have got it :cheers:

That seems simple enough... Cheers!

But after a bit of simple maths, I've worked out the revs drop for each gearchange for an R33 GTR :P

Gear Change Rev Drops (rounded for simplicity)

1st-2nd    3410rpm (8500rpm -> 5090rpm)

2nd-3rd    2750rpm (8500rpm -> 5750rpm)

3rd-4th    1970rpm (8500rpm -> 6530rpm)

4th-5th    2110rpm (8500rpm -> 6390rpm)

So R33 GTR owners should be aiming for a powerband between 4500rpm -> redline (taking into account poor drivers holding you up)... Is that right?

Makes sense... I can understand why people consider GT2530s perfect track turbos for the GTR, since that pretty much fits the required powerband prefectly! ;):)

Very interesting, thanks!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
