terrano high revs at 100kph

terranoman31 · Post by **terranoman31** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:57 am

hey guys was just wondering is it normal for a v6 terrano to sit on around 3500 revs at 100kph? i have just done a auto to manual conversion on it whats the normal revs when sitting on 100kph?

sounds a but high to me, maybe they have a different ratio diff for auto and manual?

diff ratios will be different , get bigger tyres, thal fix it haha

hha bigger tires would be better but cant afford them at this stage have to fork out for new box :S might have to find different diff ratios does anyone have any terrano diffs lying around?

yeah nissans have a nasty habit of matching diffs to gearboxes autos have this one and manuels have that one real pain in the butt

Find out what you have fitted already. On your data plate under the bonnet there is a trans/axle code. Part of the code will read HG46 for example. That will tell us what diffs you have and what ratios. I can trade you a 4.1 ratio diff head for the rear (open) If you have a 4.6 ratio. Then it will be a matter of finding a front diff.

Jase.

pretty sure i have a hg46 will double check tomorrow if anyone has a 4.1 ratio front diff that would be great

Just invest in some 33's

To get lower revs, 4.3's

terranoman31 · Post by **terranoman31** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:58 am

thanks now to hunt down some 4:3 gears

Dirtydog · Post by **Dirtydog** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 11:47 am

what did the lower gears come out of?

mines a diesel model and it has hg46 (well did have)
mines an auto though if thats what the difference is.

Im not entirely sure, But quite possibly the manual v6?

Dirtydog · Post by **Dirtydog** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:07 pm

would the transfer case have different gears in it at all? maybe thats where the difference is

terranoman31 · Post by **terranoman31** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 2:15 pm

maybe as the transfer that came with the manual box is in there so maybe if i swap the manual for auto (the same that goes with the diffs) it might be fine?

anyone got some input on that?

nizmo · Post by **nizmo** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:09 pm

hmm, worth a shot easy enough to change and ur box is coming out soon any way, go see laskeys, had that one out the back

u13turbo · Post by **u13turbo** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:31 pm

But the transfer case isnt used in 2wd, It would only affect 4lo ratio wouldnt it?

terranoman31 · Post by **terranoman31** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:57 pm

im not sure... revs were fine when had auto with 4:6 gears with original transfer guess manuals are slightly different

sibainmud · Post by **sibainmud** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:44 pm

Just a thought here, you have checked the speed with a GPS?
Sometimes it's not the diff ratio but a case of matching the right speedo drive to the diffs. 90% of the manual TD27's run 4.6 diffs so it is the most common. Mine came with 4.6's and i have changed them to 4.8's for hill climbs with 33's, but on 31's it now revs to 3150rpm or so at 100k. When running big 32's i change back to the 4.6 speedo drive and the speedo is nearly correct.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

my truck is v6 and its about 15km out plus its the speedo of the box so should be right yea?

sibainmud · Post by **sibainmud** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:45 am

V6 manual with 4.3's is standard/ auto 4.6's :wink:

Speedo drive should suit the 4.3's.
Cheers,

terranoman31 · Post by **terranoman31** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:47 am

yea thats what was in the parts truck 4:3s if i were to put a auto transfer (4:6) onto the manual would it correct the revs?

sibainmud · Post by **sibainmud** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 4:51 pm

Not sure about that. I thought the transfers were all the same, but I will stand corrected on that if someone else knows better

I have always been in the habbit of leaving the gear/trans boxes matched up :wink:

Have you had the speed checked?
Sometimes the speedo can read low to start with :roll:

Nissan were shocking at changing slight things with no warning.
Cheers,

terranoman31 · Post by **terranoman31** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 4:56 pm

have checked speedo with gps and shows 15 km diffrence i guess if i can get a hold of a 4:6 transfer for cheap ill try that if doesnt work will need to find ring and pinions should have kept my parts truck lol

u13turbo · Post by **u13turbo** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:49 pm

I just remembered today, im 99% sure all mistrals are 4.3's, and all rear diffs in them are LSD, so could be worth finding one wrecking for the diffs.

slide · Post by **slide** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:57 pm

The transfer case has no ratio change unless in 'low' (high range is straight-thru). But the gear inside the transfercase that drives the speedo-drive maybe different between models with different diff ratios?
