Drifting is gay.

Anyhow, your stock redline should be about 6500rpm, so shift there for best performance. It will drop your car back into the powerband.

Try shifting your car a little earlier, mostly around 3K or below if you can. Use Regular Gasoline, make sure the tires are inflated to proper PSI, make sure/do a check up on on the fluids, and if you must a tune up.

Enjoy.

Drifting = gay for someone with an Altima

Upshift from 5.5k gives you the most power. read magazine scans of the 240sx when it was brand new and most of them advise that as well

Use premium gas since it was intended to be used with premium gas. The difference between a full tank of gas with premium vs regular is like $.30~ at most. Don't be a cheap ass.

You dumb fuck. Nissan recommends using 87 in the KA24DE block. If you can provide proof of something different, I will eat my words. Before, when I was on the stock ecu, the car ran like crap on anything other than 87. Now with the ECU, I have to run premium.

Just to humilate you further, I want to remind you all than The Altima uses the same KA24DE block as the 240sx. So yes, my POS Altima with JWT cams and ECU with a 7000rpm redline is shit, and you all know more about effective powerbands and shift points than JWT.

And because I thive on making others look like the pieces of shit they are, I went ahead and downloaded Cartest 4.5 (a free download here http://www.cartestsoftware.com/cartest4.5/index.html)

I ran 3 different types of 240sx's.
Default, Shift at Redline, and Shift at power peak. Guess which one had the best accleration?

Time to 100ft
Redline 240sx (shifting at 6500rpm) 3.3
Default 240sx (shifting at optimum shift points) 3.3
Pre-Redline 240sx (shifting at 5500rpm) 3.4

Time to 500ft
Redline 240sx (shifting at 6500rpm) 8.9
Default 240sx (shifting at optimum shift points) 8.9
Pre-Redline 240sx (shifting at 5500rpm) 9.1

1/4mile time
Redline 240sx (shifting at 6500rpm) 16.4 @ 85.4mph <----WINNER
Default 240sx (shifting at optimum shift points) 16.4 @ 84.9mph
Pre-Redline 240sx (shifting at 5500rpm) 16.8 @ 84.2mph

You're a piece of shit, and your wrong.

He's not even a time attack racer, he's a PROGRAM RACER!!!

if you play in that 5000 to 6000 RPM range too much you'll probly have to change that timing chain preatty soon. once thats done you should be good after that.

1. YOU will be faster shifting at redline. Even with power Dropping at 5600rpm, shifting at redline will drop you right back at around 4600rpm or so. You cannot Disagree that this is the fastest way of accleration.

2. Drifting IS Stupid.

3. Nissan recommends regular gasoline. Using anything else, and your wasting your money, and hurting your fuel economy. JWT's Ecu bumps up the timing maps so you can take advantage of higher octane, unlike with the stock Ecu.

I'm right, your wrong. Faggots.

1. How the hell would you know when to shift a 240, you drive a gay ass altima?

2. Drifting is only stupid when the person doing the drifting is stupid.

3. Learn to f*cking read you idiot nissan reccomends premium for all 240's
