It feels like my 4th gear has more power than my third. My clutch isn’t slipping and it goes into gear fine. It is also like this on my friends 240. Whats up with that?

it doesnt actually have more power in 4th than 3rd, but the point is that it feels comparable…
and that should never be the case.
thus, the worry/questioning of how/why

Hmm… He’s KA-T, I’m KADE…
Should we just chalk it up to Nissan making horrible gear ratio’s?

Or could it have something to do with my 3rd gear plug on my tranny not being plugged in…? Would that affect the performance of third? how would that make sense?

it feels like its pulling harder cuz nissans speedos are off past 120 i think
so the speedo raises faster. ie feels faster

is incorrect.
