i would like to know for both my rx-7's
the fc and fd, when to shift gears like from 1st to 2nd gear, 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, 4th to 5th

FC:
First to Second: 5000
Second to Third: 5500
Third to Fourth: 6200
Fourth to Fifth: 147-150 km/h

This is for the downhill. Remember that shift points can sometimes change on the uphill (If I'm not mistaken you shift earlier going UH). Also remember that on Irohazaka you should shift to fifth once you hit 130.

FD, I'm not too sure of.

well im really talking about UH on akagi vs'ing keisuke
but yeah that info is handy i want the FD shifts,
anyone thanks

for the FD

6000

6500

7300

I always just counted 3 seconds for the 1st three gears, then one line before the redline for 4th and 151 for 5th.

Y'all be crazy. FD loyalist talkin here. 6, 6.5, 7. For 5th, it changes. This is how i shift

Myougi: 150
Usui:148
Akagi:148
Akina:148
Happo:135
Irohazaka: 135

hmm, my shift points are a little different for the fd

myogi 158
usui 153
akagi 152
akina 153
happo 142-4(depends on which part of the map)
iro 132

uphill shift points are 5-7kmph slower

way too soon on happro.... shift at bout 144-146 on happro, depend on ur line n tuning, other coarses FD some ppl shift at 153-155, i find htat too late so i do it at 151-152. Iro, about 132 n at the last check round 125-127

ok thanks guys this is a really big help

really depends on how much your car is tuned.

SpaZMonKeY? the guy who plays CS? hes in my AlphaMale Clan! lol

The Uphill will have later sift points cuz of tourqe.so the Dh and Uh shifting times will ALWAYS be different,yes,even on Usui and Myogi.

The torque analysis does make logical sense. But for some reason, whenever I play, my acceleration rate seems to drop faster than usual, demanding earlier shifts. It's strange. For example -

Usually the timing for a fourth to fifth shift will be 147-150. But on the Akina uphill, once I hit around 140 my acceleration slows to a crawl. Upshifting brings the rate back up again.

I personally shift earlier. Does it vary from car to car, or am I doing something strange?

FD


2nd at 6000
3rd at 6500
4th at 7000
5th also at 7000

shifting at anypoint later really doesnt make a difference, if your in 4th and continue past 7000 your speed increases to its limit as fast as it would in 5th, Once you go into 5th you raise that "limit". If you dont believe me just go time it urself.

actually if you shift at 7000 exactly the engine lags for a little bit in acceleration, thats why we shift at 7300 (or the 7250 line right after 7000 to be more precise)

hmm... no lag for me...and ive got a couple hundred runs on my fd (dont even know what card im on anymore lol)


Added: Besides if you try and shift at 7000 youll end up shifting afterwards.. maybe thats why i never have a problem (i wait until its at 7000 before i even decide to shift up) but either way... close enough if u ask me, i can outrun "buntamobiles" as u call em here

could someone tell me shift timing for buntamobile?

I'm so tired for midnight. But the Myogi speed is higher going whichever way the uphill big turn is. So you must shift later. *falls off seat* Nite everybody.

thats why you shift by RPM, not speed

hmm..always thot 1st to 2nd was 5.5
that seems to be how rocketstart came
n thats how i see and read from HK forums and playing in HK..
who knos
no rocket is better for TA..unless ur gonna be really really fast

not for fd.. as ive said ive gone through many cards (through inspection) and ive practiced many times... the "true" rocket start was only in version one when you could shift directly to 2nd and fly.. haha nows its a time balancing act.

I havent played Ver. 1 much, once or twice. And i didnt know that was possible... Thats prolly why i had no idea what he was talking about,

its kewl if u get the chance i say u give it a try... smoke the AI even (and u know they accelerate pretty damn good)

8V is 6, 6.5, 7, 155kph unless its iro 131. of course that all changes on the uphill.
akina shifting is slightly different only for the 1st shift which is at 5.6k
