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!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
