At what REV rpm DO YOU CHANGE GEAR?

MBLAQ · 07-04-2010, 11:10 AM

i normally change btw 3k to 4k while normal driving.

Vegitto-kun · 07-04-2010, 11:32 AM

well if I put my AT to MT it means I am going for spirited driving so around 6k.

if I for some reason am driving normally while in MT I tend to shift at 3-4

Modshack · 07-04-2010, 12:00 PM

Usually 5K or lower if I don't want to grit my teeth...

Matt · 07-04-2010, 12:07 PM

3500 for normal driving. 5-6.5k spirited.

TreeSemdyZee · 07-04-2010, 01:12 PM

Right after I hit the rev limiter!

j/k

3.5k+

kenchan · 07-04-2010, 01:20 PM

Around 3.5K to 4.5K for me. Ofcourse on occasion I see the shift light flashing.

350z_2nr · 07-04-2010, 02:02 PM

2.5-3k and redline every once and awhile to blow the sut out

Trips · 07-04-2010, 02:06 PM

Lemers · 07-04-2010, 02:07 PM

Well over 5K when I want to frighten my passenger!

Trips · 07-04-2010, 02:23 PM

On a serious note, I usually shift at 3.5k for my daily commute.

370Zsteve · 07-04-2010, 02:48 PM

It has to be above 3k for me cuz the Gen3 intakes make such a sweet sucking sound at that RPM

GEEEEARRR?!

For nml driving 2-2.5k. For spirited runs about 5k. For racing I shift at redline.

Under nml driving there is no need to go higher than 2.5 unless going up a hill or something. Anything about 2.5k is just wasting gas. Not that I'm concerned with saving gas, just saying there really is no need to go about 2.5.
