2900 RPM's 70-MPH??
Just bought my 2nd G35 Its a 05' model. And have just realized 8 mo.s later that the bank we bought it from put new tires on it but they are smaller than the original size, much lower profile. I have a 06' Armada with a 5.6 v8 in it and at 70 mph in it Im hitting 1500-1600 rpm's, but in my G I'm hitting 2900?? What is yours ususally at?? Jet

Yep, these cars are geared pretty deep. It seems to be a Nissan thing because my 5MT Maxima was geared pretty much like my 5AT G. Nissan tends to use some pretty aggressive gearing to offer the most performance at the expense of fuel economy. Companies like Honda woefully overgear their autos which leads to seriously bad performance when compared to the manual counterparts. Look at the last gen TLs for example. The 6MTs run lower 14s whereas the 5ATs run lower 15s. With the G and Z cars, the difference is only .1 or .2. With the newer VQ37 motors and 7ATs, the autos are fractionally quicker than the manuals.
