Racing wise, i been shifting at 6,400 RPMs, i just wanted to get a overview on where or where DID people shift when there Zs were stock. OR if people went to 6500+ and got better results?

Thanks!

 

If you've got a nonrevup motor which I'm assuming since its an 05 Touring... I would only shift at 6.6k in 1st gear since it goes by so fast. Other than that I would shift around 6.2k since thats where the power begins to fall off.

 

Ahh okay, but wait a second i thought 05 is when the Rev-Up motors began?

 

Shift points for maximum acceleration: Redline @ every gear.

 

roast is smart

 

The 05 6MT 35th anniv & track models have the revup.
All 06 6MT models have the revup.

All other trims have the non-revup.

 

Like roast said, just redline the *****!

 

Like roast said, just redline the btich!

 

Well, i screwed that one up...

 

^ lol, +3 posts though

i only pushed it to 6.2k when I went, scared me too much... no money for a new motor

Shifting at redline won't damage the motor in any way, that's what the rev limiter is there to prevent.

 

Rev limiter will save your engine but blow your speed as the hesitation is very noticable when it kicks in. Just shift before it kicks in. Gee, I guess that is why the gauge has a red area and there is a flashing red shift light(that you can set) on the manuals. I obviously didn't pay attention once.

 

I agree. Just before the rev limiter. If you are competing, and bump the rev limiter, may as well call it a day because you lost. More important than the shift point is how far does the RPM drop between shifts.

 

How does the technique work for you? Post time slips.

 

how do you set the rev limiter? I know how to change the shift light but how can I adjust the rev limiter point if the car has one?

 

ECU reflash...

 

again.. roast is smart

 

I ran a 13.9@103 with a Pop Charger.

 

You own an EVO or STi before? Could a sworn I saw you on another forum a while back

 

At what rpm's did you shift? You shoulda started at 2nd gear lol
