Rpm In 5th Gear? Help Pls

[natho33]

Hey guys,

New to the seen, was wondering what kind of revs your r33 (s1 coupe) rb25de 5spd manual sits at, at 100ks in 5th?

Just wondering if someone has changed the gear ratios or it is standard.

I am needing to use 5th gear at 60kph at about 1500rpm and 2300ish rpm at 80kph

Is this normal?

I am used to driving my dads camry which 4th is for 60 and 5th is only for 80plus

Any help/info would be highly appreciated

Thanks,

Nathan

i believe its normal, i have exactally the same car (s1 gts25) same engine too, and yeah mine revs at bout same range urz does. When on the freeway doing bout 100km/h limiter hits about 3000.

its got to do with the RB25DE engines having more torque at the lower rpm ranges or sumfin like that.

Thats completely normal.. my car sits at around 2500 at 100 (R33 25t manual)

EDIT- my old car (Mitsi Diamante) sat at 2200rpm at 100k and 2800-3000 at 180k. LOL. They are very comfy cruisers

The R33 comes standard with a 4.11:1 ratio diff. You should be sitting around 3000 @ 100km/h

Hmm interesting, I haven't yet to seen a GTS25 with a 4.11:1 ratio diff. All factory GTS25 manuals I"ve seen have a 4.3:1 ratio diff.

Easy way to tell what diff you have is by looking at the blue ID tag under the bonnet.
