IanS16 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 My Zed redlines at almost exactly 60mph in second gear. Is this normal? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i'll let you know ASAP if i can't hook up a launch properly. too wet these days and so much wheel spin:lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Mines about the same Ah okay. So if you were drag racing you would have to change gear before 60 to stop it bouncing off the limiter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Mines about the same Pretty much the same, just a tad over i think . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersen.o Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hmm, well i never really look at the mph, i usually change just before it bounces though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ok sound guys, thanks for the responses. I just wanted to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLizard Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Mines about the same Ah okay. So if you were drag racing you would have to change gear before 60 to stop it bouncing off the limiter? Mine hits that at about 67-70, goin up the strip i changed at just over 62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersen.o Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 hmm really? 67, i think i have to double check mine!! got me thinking i may be wrong now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ersen.o Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 that is the reason they gave us a big ass rev counter in the middle though right? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 hey am back. was but managed a good one after 3 takes 67, 65 and 72 mind you my limiter is set for 7.5K yep i love revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLizard Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 0-62 time would be worse if another gear change was required, mines a revup 56 plate if that makes any difference, im pretty sure that i crossed the line in 3rd bouncing off the limiter at 102 which is the speed i crossed the line at in 13.9 (eventually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What engine do you have? edit: I just read MrLizard has the Rev up engine so thats okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersen.o Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I went and had a try, it bounces at 62 and i changed at 60 have a 276 brake model how can we make the revs higher? remap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Was having a little fun gunning it with a bmw beside me the other week, hit the limiter "accidently" as i was paying too much attention giving my mate (in the bmw) the bird. I have never felt such a lack of power, it just felt like i had a parachute on the back of my car, even after i shifted it took a second or so to get the power back.

What engine do you have? edit: I just read MrLizard has the Rev up engine so thats okay. i have the rev up GT4 stock engine i have been busy trying to get info on the Zed and found the following of interest: first; Gear 6spd MT 5spd Auto 1st 3.794 3.540 2nd 2.324 2.264 3rd 1.624 1.471 4th 1.271 1.000 5th 1.000 0.0834 6th .794 ---- Reverse 3.446 2.370 Final Drive 3.538 3.357 Secondly using the above ratio from nissan and the formulae below: -TireSidewallHeight = 2*(TireWidth/25.4)*AspectRatio/100 -TireDiameter = TireSidewallHeight+WheelDiameter -MilesPerHour = RPM*TireDiameter*PI*60/(GearRatio*63360) And assuming rear tire size 245/45/18 the theoritical corresponding speeds will be: gear redline @ 7500 redline @ 7000 1st 44mph 41mph 2nd 72mph 68mph 3rd 104mph 97mph 4th 132mph 124mph 5th 168mph 157mph 6th 212mph 198mph Abviously if frictional loses are factored in aerodynamic drag, the limiter etc real life figures are less than above stated especially in the higher speeds/rpms. hope this puts our minds at ease That said i do see 65-70+ all the time and i can surmise that your rev limit is at 6500 as from factory and you are running 19" wheels which puts you about 63-66 mph in 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
