Hmm...last I checked mine shifts at 7000-7500 rpm fine in all gears.

But if you just want a longer ratio, from what I read a while back the ka gearbox has a longer gear ratio.

the KA and SR transmissions are the same arent they?

but in any case, the z32 transmission is a good choice for taller gearing, and the Q45 diff has a higher final drive.

besides, power on the SR drops off after 5500-6500, so tuning it will probably produce power onward, but its nothing dramatic and costs plenty.

How does your car redline differ in different gears? Do you know what your talking about?
