What is the redline speed in second gear?

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.

 

That's what i thought would be the case. You've gone and thrown a spanner in the works now ;)

hey am back. was :scare: but managed a good one after 3 takes :teeth:

67, 65 and 72 mind you my limiter is set for 7.5K ;) yep i love revs :blush:

I thought you were joking :lol:

 

So you got 72 when bouncing off the redline i suppose?

 

What engine do you have?

 

edit: I just read MrLizard has the Rev up engine so thats okay.

Was having a little fun gunning it with a bmw beside me the other week, hit the limiter "accidently" :blush: 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.

i have the rev up GT4 stock engine B)

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 :scare: 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 :teeth: 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 :thumbs:
