ALT Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi all, I’ve been playing with the power and torque curves provided by Nissan. The results are attached. It’s a bit rough and ready, but someone may be interested. I’m not an engineer, so this will probably be a silly question. The torque curve drops off above 4800 rpm and the power curve drops off above 6300 rpm. The red line is at 6600 rpm. I was wondering if it’s better to shift up at a slightly lower rpm, say 6200, to make use of the higher portion of the torque curve, or to change up at the red line to make better use of the power curve?

Toon Chris Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Very interesting and a good question too! I hope someone knows the answer (obviously I don't ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALT Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 These figures are taken from a 350Z brochure, so are not very accurate. If anyone knows where I could get hold of some more accurate figures, or even a print out from an actual measurement on a real car, I’d be very interested. I am of course most interested in the 2004 specification, not so much the newer, higher power specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
