Gear Ratios for R33 GTST?


Recommended Posts

out of interest, the final drive ratio is on the jap chassis plate.

down the bottom:

i.e.

RC43 = 4.3:1

RC41 = 4.1:1

Hope this helps.

out of interest - see below:

Transmissions:

RE4R01A 4 speed auto

RE4R07A 4 speed auto

RE5R01A 5 speed auto

FS5R30A 5 speed manual

FS5W7 5 speed manual GTS

:(

OK, so next question, how to you turn ratios into revs/km/h?

In the R33 manual I have I have the km/hr for auto and manual ... can't remember off the top of my head, but for 1st its something like 55km/hr for manual, but of course that's just the recommended.

If you are really keen I can type them in for auto and manual for u.

Looks like Gizmo already beat me too it!

I wouldn't say they are like redline figures because they're recommended safe limits, probably around 5000rpm. Probably add another 20k/hr in each gear for true redline figures.

Get a speed cut n Nismo's 320km speedo, to get figures for redline speed on 5th gear...

That is if anyone is brave enough to try....

Disclaimer: I do not encourage excessive driving speed nor

dangerous behaviour on public street.

Shift Lever (Manual Shift)

Check the table on maximum speeds in each gear from 1~4

(Shift to the next gear up well within these speed ranges)

Shift Lever Position    RB20    RB25DE     RB25DET

1                                50        50              55  

2                                85        80              100

3                                135      135            145

4                                165      175            180

Thanks Gizmo.

I figured 7000 in 4th was about 180. I don't know about everyone else's speedo, but its about 210 on mine, so my speedo is 17% optimistic!

And meggala, I reakon it would take a hell of a long private road to get a GTS-T to 270:eek:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
