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)

Well................... not really :):rofl:

Shoot Merli, you really have got it :cheers:

  • 1 month later...
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!

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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.
