i just had a quick question if someone could answer for me....

what rpms and speed does the 5spd tranny do....as in what mph do you come out of 1st gear and at what rpm and so on and so forth....

Also if someone can also tell me the same answer if it was a 6spd....Plus if you would be able to tell me if you were in 3rd gear in both the 5spd and the 6spd what rpm would you be at at 60mph...


thanks guys

 

it all depends..........u cna be in 5th or 6th doing 30 mph or doing 120 mph.......... it depensd on hwo econmical u wanna drive,

at 60 my in 5th i at 2200-2300 rpm........

driving stick there is no set rpm or mph u shuld be in wat gear its w/e u want the car to feel like........hence the manual term.....

 

Here's the gear ratios, check out an online calc and you can get your answers - http://www.vibratesoftware.com/html_...ons.htm#Maxima

 

30mph in first if choose to drive hard.

 

thanks guys

 

Shift points are well documented in the owners manual. Tells you exactly when to shift for performance and economy.

1st-38ish
2nd-62ish
3rd-85ish
4th-?
5th-?

at 70 mph i'm at about 3 grand exactly.
at 60 mph i'm at about 2700


The reason why i said "ish" is becuase i'm running slightly bigger side walls so my speedo is off by just a little bit.

 

thanks guys was just curious how different the auto and manual are from each other.

 

That info should be in the FSM.
Jae

 

1st - 40 mph
2nd -75 mph
3rd - 105 mph
4th - 130 mph

 

The data on the left is the stock 5spd gear ratios and the maximum speeds you can reach in each gear with a 235-45-17 tire. Whether or not you want to actually shift at those speeds depends upon your powerband.

 

Very nice. Leave it to Neoloc to make all our posts feel a little more newbish.

 

that wasn't my intention of course, I just had that graphic made for another post I made a couple weeks ago and it applied here so I thought I'd share it.

 

Tranny two has some wickedly close ratios. What is it?

Looks like Pulsar GTI-RB gears with a Maxima final drive ratio:

EDIT: Also, the image filename is 6550stockvsRB, just saw that. Found the info by googling the gear ratios.

 

thanks good info.....

 

If you granny shift at 2000-2500 rpm
1st - 0-5mph
2nd - 5-20mph
3rd - 20-30mph
4th - 30-40mph
5th - 40-50mph

If you drive like a bat out of hell at 5500-6000 rpm
1st - 0-30mph
2nd - 30-60mph
3rd - 60-90mph
4th - 90mph+
5th - unneccessary

Normally I'll do a happy medium at 2800-3200 rpm

1st - 0-15mph
2nd - 15-30mph
3rd - 30-45mph
4th - 45-60mph
5th - 60mph+

Of course, keep in mind that I put it in neutral when braking, and if I need to pass or accelerate quickly, I'll go one gear lower than I would normally be in.

 

Interesting. I have a GTI-R tranny in parts now in my garage (the regular ratios, not the RB rallying model). You'd have to fit a 4th gen reverse gear mechanism on to allow reverse gear though.

I guess my calcs are pretty close. IIRC, these were done w/ 215/60-15 (unloaded)
