Just curious been talking to elspool and its like the 3rd to 4th shift is the worst the car seams to fall flat on its ***.

Anyone else have this prob??

 

Might just be your gearing. Which tranny you got in it?

 

SI s20 1.259 3rd and .909 4th

 

3rd gear is so strong it makes 4th feel a little weak.. the nsx caught upto me by the end of 4th when i was stock internal, greddy kit at 10psi.

 

Mine feels alright in 4th. Acceleration definately goes down some, but I wouldn't say it falls flat on it's ***.

 

Just did the calculations shift from 3rd to 4th u fall to 5817rpm.

 

i dunno mine still pulls like a bat outta hell...

 

running my buddies 300z 2nd gear roll on i pull 2nd and 3rd then in 4th he goes by me and by top of 4th he is ahead by lenght or 2.

Just feels flat

 

it jsut means you arent running enough boost

 

i think you just need a bigger turbo and more boost..

 

Gearing's a lot longer than the Bseries guys, doesn't really just "fall out" though.

mine did the same, its for sale though

 

4.9FD FTW

 

mine does fine 3rd-4th.

 

i have no problems going from 3-4 either...my problem is the 2-3 shift cause im allways afraid to miss third so i granny shift lol

my car pulls VERY hard in 4th....thats where i usually put the most distance on whoever im racing...

 

yeah but you have 400whp too. I'd be damned if it didn't pull hard in every gear.

full throttle shift

for me 2nd-3rd is where i grind my gears.

with a si tranny, people think im spraying when i race, then i have to explain to them that is just how the 3rd gear is geared.

try FTSing into 4th and see if that helps.
it did for me.

 

Yeah this motor is still stock lol im making 240-260whp not 300 plus. Im gonna try these new gears ill let u know how it feels

yea from my experience 2nd gear and 3rd gear do NOT like high rpm shifts...i dont know how many times ive tried to shift at 7800rpm or so and it just locks me out.....in my experieces if i rev over 7500rpm and try to go into 2nd...WONT go. if i try and rev over 7800 to go into 3rd...WONT go. but 3-4 i can take it to 8+ and it goes everytime...and thats fts too...i fts every gear exept 1-2 thats going to be where i make the most of my time up at the track, when i can finaly get a good 1-2 shift.
