my rpm gauge broke and i need to know something. When you are manually shifting, what is the m.p.h at redline in first and second? Cause i dont want to ruin anything cause i cant tell when i am redlined or not, and i want to get the most speed and power out of 1 and 2. Thanks

I think thats what the manual says yes. But I have actually seen 45 in 1st at redline.. And almost 80 in second. And I have stock tire size and stock rims.. I dono. Yeah, but lower is better.. 40, 73 is safer.

yes

The Nissan Service Manual say 40 in first and 73 in second but that's the shift points in the ECU if you want all the power shift out of first at like 43 and there is that 200 rpm lag there don't forget, you can't shift at redline, you have to do it before. and in second i would say around 76-77.
