Paul, A couple of comments. 3100 is 100 kph with your tyres and a 3.7 diff, you may actually have a 3.7 especially if it's a Borg Warner. You can't go by the hand book with them as there was a lot of industrial trouble thru the 200b/S1 Bluey runs at Albury (ever heard of Neville Wran?) and Nissan sometimes stuck whatever diffs they had built it them. You got things like a 3.7 diff in S1 Bluey with 5 speeds like my cousin did when the handbook says it should have a 3.9.
The stock speedo has a built in error, up to around 4% which is just about the difference made by your larger tyres. Also, you don't know what speedo drive is in the box, could be it's already a 6x19. The only way to know for sure is to drive it to Melbourne as at Wodonga there is a radar speed indicator on the Hume Highway - great invention that although it only goes up to 117 kph (bummer). They say it's there so the cops in Vic can book you for a much smaller tolerance than in New South, getting booked for 116kph and the like is not uncommon on the Hume in Vic and on the NSW side they don't even seem to notice you unless double demerit is in force to well over 120kph. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au]On Behalf Of Paul Stanley Sent: Friday, 1 November 2002 9:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TRX rims Thanks Terry, yes I knew that 205/60x15 is the right size for the 200B but the 65s were already on the wheels when I got them so I'm just going to wear them out first. My tacho "says" 3000 when the speedo is at 100K/h.
