My Z is a couple months old and i sometimes punch it hard, but i was wondering,
If im going about 65-75 wut gear should i drop from and to, to launch off hard without forcing it TOO MUCH?...
(I dont race, i jus wanna know,

 

3rd. it takes you to about 86-87mph, but 4th will get ya movin too

 

^^mines an 03 btw. so if you have the rev-up your 3rd probly goes higher than mine

 

from what gear to 3rd do u feel it the most?

 

if im cruisin on the highway im in 6th, you can take it from 6th to 3rd

 

if im doin above 75 ill go to 4th tho

 

thanx man,appreciate it, i was jus a lil scared to downshift 3 gears down, but i'l try it..

 

yessir

 

i would shift from 6 to 4. shift it into fifth then shift and release it in fourth since six doesnt have any syncros and i wouldnt wanna mess it up going straight to 4th from 6th

 

Whatever gear feels comfortable. If the gear has no top end left then it is too low.

 

thats kind of a slow way to go down 2 gears^^

 

oops. that was for mr. steve

 

i get u steve, but i wanna launch off fast!!, tht might take time, or wut u think?

 

In my 03 I go straight from 6th to 3rd from going around 60mph and i get plenty of a launch. Down to second would be too far at 60mph. If your doing close to 80 already though only downshift to 4th

 

Down ship to Drift YO!!!!!!!

Keep dat st8 JDM Yo, Ya MeAn!!!!


I've been taking grammer lessons from "Semper5", our member that is also a English major non the less.

 

Did that unnecessary blabber contribute anything at all that could be considered useful to this thread, or the entire forum for that matter??...

 

Did your unnecessary blabber contribute anything either???? No? didn't think so. There for stop being so negative and relax a little bit man, drink some warm milk.

Anywho, so I am going to contribute something to this thread (So 350ZEEEEEE won't have a d@mn heart attack), it all depends on your driving style really. If you are cruising on 80mph in 6th gear you will be sitting at 3K RPM (Non Rev-up). So lets say you would like to give it that extra push without hitting redline too soon you could go with 5th gear, however, you will a better "jump" or "kick" if you dropped it in 4th.

I would say drop it into 4th gear and feel and hear your engine and get ready to shift to 5th. That's my personal opinion. Good luck mang!!!!

And DaT St8 JDM YO!!!!!!

 

drunk as **** post but do 4th, its always the winner

 

Oh and 3rd would be too close to the red unless you have a HR then 3rd will be safe if you are cruising at 60-65 mph. Good luck and drive safe!

 

If you drop from 6th at 70+ to 3rd, you're gonna get a rude awakening. If you're in to replacing internals, knock yourself out.
