My Nismo (should be same as base) redlines in 2nd gear right at 62 mph.

Xan did indicate it was a rough estimate. Thanks for the chart!


My personal experiences, while catching a light or needing to get out of a hairy situation on the highway, I'll drop into 3rd if I'm below 60. Otherwise, I'll use 4th. You just gotta play with it and see what you're comfortable with. Same as up-shifting, really.
