Subject: Question to Nissan 300ZX owners/gurus (esp 87-89 models)
I purchased a used 1988 Nissan 300ZX (non-turbo) last year. I had a
question on gear/rpm ratios. Right now in 5th @65mph I'm at
2600-2700 rpms. @70mph I'm at about 2900rpms. Is this about the
norm? I'm an auto neophyte so I'm just wondering if these are
the proper ranges? Somehow the rpm figures seem high. A friend of mine
just told me he can hit 60mph in 3rd on his 88 Chevy Beretta (2.8l V6.)
Also, anyone know the top speed attainable (@redline???) for this model Z?
(Not that I would try it but it would be an interesting factoid. :)
Thanx!
Derek
