Just wondering what speed is attainable an a Manual 1992 Type R FD at the redline buzzer in 5th gear? (Assuming Gearbox and diff are stock)? I\'ve heard all sorts of figues and was wondering if anyone knew for sure?

Thanks

Mark

Is there a similar table for the FC gear ratio\'s ?

At Bruntingthorpe last year i got 180mph out of my FD on limiter in 5th (limiter set at 8100rpm) which ties in with the table above.  Interestingly, the Apexi showed 165mph as top speed...

someone needs to design a rotary engine that revs to 10,000 rpm!

When is the buzzer for the shift supposed to buzz? I\'m still shifting at about 7000 - 7500? Are they happy to rev to 8000 (occassionally that is ;) )?

I think the buzzer comes on at 7500rpm, mine was on loads yesterday night on the way home from Japshow chasing mates in an Evo and 2 Skylines.

Sorry Prof i dont have a chart like that for the FC, cant even remember where i got that FD one from.

I\'m not a Bit beliver in top end speed, I\'ve seen 160mph with  a bit to go but tbh i\'d rather gear it for a better Take off and a bit lower Top end.

It that table for a 4.1 final drive (uk spec I think, def US spec), or 4.3 (which I believe all jap imports are, geared more for acceleration due to speed limiter)?

Think theres also a 3.9 about which is in the autos...

I\'m not sure what diff the chart is for, I would imagine its for the 4.1 which is the most common.  The 4.3 is only used in very special Rex\'s like the RZ, normal type R\'s use the 4.1.

Carl can build high revving rotors too, he posted something about 11k rpm not so long ago.
