Thread: Some FWD Tranny Things To Think About

Read both charts they both say N1 motor

sorry i ment nismo gearbox

Its odd that it lists 14 tyres.

All brochures and documentation i have shows 15 tyres.


There were 20 somthing nismo version produced. They had what i think was nismo parts left over from the Primeras and all had the oldschool design 32V series gearbox.

Any N1 that was optioned with just a nismo gearset or diff or such id say would have had the original cluster swapped out and put into the original box sold with the N1. So i guess it could go either way.

The Nismo cluster is what made the N1 quick in racing, but was overkill for the street.

Also those data graphs of troque vs rpm vs speed cut off at 180km/h. The factory ECU's werent limited. I think they only show 180 because of the "gentlemans agreement", but on the track here ive definately driven one over 180km.

Also irrelevant of their tires size listed - they have the same outside rolling diametere. Nissan didnt change the speedo gear drive or the sensor for the N1 either. Those tyres sized listed have no weighting on final drive rpm or gear speed vs road speed.

This is what I need to know. If the N1 was made for racing and they made 500 units one year and 500 the next so that it could be raced then the cars should be as the race car which means all N1s should have the quicker gears and Nismo LSD. I still dont think thats the case.

The production car should be the same ase the race car.

or maybe the Nismo diff and quicker gears was an option from factory which allowed it to be a part than can be put on a race car.

Most likely so. Most strret cars produced as a run so a race car can be used are really only simular up to a point.

Well one thing is for sure right now the N1 tranny I have has a Nismo LSD in it.

So now I have to pull the case apart to count the teeth on the gears

Can i still get it for $700

^^^Price spike coming on N1 trannies, lol.

They cost more than B15 and P11's now.
