Usually the fastest you can go in each gear is listed somewhere in the owners manual, but when I bought my S14 it didn't come with it but check in there somewhere

"1 - 35 @ 6400 Rpm
2 - 62 & 6400 Rpm
3 - 90 @ 6400 Rpm
4 - 118 @ 6400 Rpm
5 - 117 @ 4800 Rpm Governed
5 - 156 if @ 6400 Rpm "

Found that on some random 91 240SX's home page... don't know how accurate it is but it may give you an idea (or... not..)

Interesting.
My 1st will never get past 29, but my second has gotten to 67 before and third was 88 or so. Those sound about right.

It's the exact same engine, and the trannies are interchangeable, so i bet they are all within a couple miles. I'll see if i I can find it.
