5th gear at 60, thats what, about 1000 rpm, thats pretty harsh on the box, on and off all the time, feel that clunky feeling in the stick, thats bad. 5th should really be used at over 80kmh. Plus u might need to put a bit of power down on the spot for an overtake or lane change and u cant do that at 1000rpm.

5th gear in a r32 with a r33 gearbox is roughly 2000 rpm.

This is with a rb30det as well......would that be too low to cruise at?

(the extra torque the motor has i can come out of a corner in 3rd doing roughly 1500 rpm and the rb20 turbo is already at full boost btw)

meh i change just after 60km, went it goes into 5th gear the revs are around 2000rpm, i cant see why it would damage/hurt gearbox if u shit below 2000rpm, if that is ture then pushing the car too 7100rpm and then shifting faster than average into another gear cant be good too :)

about 180km/h, 250m before turn 1 usually.

Yeah, 1000rpm is really too low, you shouldn't really be under about 1500, but you will hear easily if the engine is "labouring", its pretyt hard to pick pinging in a skyline tho

The guy I had driver training with once told me that between 2000-3000 rpm the car is "happy"

I re-evaluated that slightly when I got the r33.

normally I cruise round town (50-70kmh zones) in 4th, and only use 5th if I'm in a higher speed zone.

But I think the car could even handle cruising at 60 in 3rd really.

my daily driving shift points are 60kmh to 4th then about 90kmh to 5th... just the way i've always done it... that way i have some torque there if i should want to call on it :)

this is true, i hate it when im in 5th at like 2000rpm's and need to punch it to overtake or something

Yeh I'll shift_ *super lame Nissan bump right there, lol* into 5th at 80km... General 60km/h driving 4th... Sydney 60km/h driving 3rd... much more responsive for dodging the f#ct up traffic there. Constantly even shifting down to 2nd to quickly get past huge trucks about to squish up my car on outer lane. Dam I hate syd driving.

I don't bother doing the dogde left and right when city (sydney) driving.

It's more about knowing which lane to be in.

Anyway, i cruise along at 60-65 in 5th all the time.

4th when going up the little hills though and maybe an obvius overtake.

I love seeing other poeple jumpin left and right all over the place, punchung it off and on again.

Then i cruise along at about 40 and pass em just cause i know which lane will be better.

Hehe

i hate the feel of the car under-revin in 5th gear...like tryin to ride a mule up a hill. the only time i ever use 5th is 85-90 plus. id rather cruise in 4th gear at 3000rmp around 80km which is the max speed limits here anyways excluding hwy driving of course. you dont even stay at 80 for a prolong period of time before you hit traffic or lights. ill only whack it into 5th if the roads long enough or when traffic permits which is not very often. theres no way id cruise in 5th at 60 though, car drives like a dog and theres no power or response when a tricky situation arises.

Yeah im with everyone else, i switch to 5th at 80Km/h, 4th is at 60Km/h. But like going up a hill, i prefer to hit a lower gear becasue when u gun it in 5th, 1: it doesnt move, and 2: Boost goes on more...

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
