TT350 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 So you did a ton on the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The limiter should be hit as regularly as you can, as long as the engine is nice and warm you won't do any harm at all. Indeed, it'll help burn off a lot of the crap that can build up, so it's actually a very beneficial thing to explore the upper rev ranges frequently! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A 350z wont do a ton in third, its barely over the speed limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4nn13 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I didn't get chance look at the speedo, was too busy listening to the engine and watching where I was going! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rook Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A 350z wont do a ton in third, its barely over the speed limit. Have you got an original DE? Mine most certainly will do 100+ in third... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) 3rd caps at 88 (for DE) apparently. Edited February 17, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 How odd. I see the ton in mine when 3rd is maxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Yeah, a lot of people seem to be saying 100-110 for 3rd (HR) Then... Here is what i found, based on '06 manual- 26.7inch tyre diameter Here is the calculator Gear Ratio Speed Calculator 1st gear ratio - 3.794 - 41mph / 66kph 2nd - 2.324 - 68mph / 108kph 3rd - 1.624 - 97mph / 155kph 4th - 1.271- 124mph / 198kph 5th - 1.00 - 157mph/ 251kph 6th - 0.794 -198mph / 317kph Final drive 3.538 Edited February 17, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenWomble Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 there are 3 different red lines depending on which version you have, so of course she will redline at different speeds in 3rd! eg my HR red lines at 70mph in 2nd, though that's to be taken with the pinch of salt that is indicated speed vs actual speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'd be miffed if my car only just got over 70 in 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 End of the day, you're happy. Just be careful mate. Crappy road conditions with the cold and damp. Don't want your enjoyment coming to a sticky end. And I don't mean in the massage parlour sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'll have to test this when I get your Z back. It blasts past 100 like it was 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave6188 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I know for a fact my HR hits just over 100mph in 3rd but as stated above different rev range so not sure about the DE ! 2nd is roughly 70mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Here's a dash vid of mine 1st to 4th. My rev limiter is 400rpm higher than stock and it reaches about 93mph in 3rd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
