Yeah... if rev limiter was removed....

Really... They dont do 100km/h in 2nd? Rev it more man!? I know the r33 gtst's do 100km/h @ 7000rpm. Dads Euro accord is not bad, 120km/h @ 7000rpm I wish 1st gear was more like 75km/h rather than 50km/h in the r33. I find 1st isnt very good for booting coz its just wheel spin, although if I was 4wd like ur GTR 'u basted lol' I spose 50km/h is fine.

Carlos fired them... This is the man who killed Nissans 'performance' soul.

Well hopefully the next Friday night cruise when one is organised i spose...

Ahhh obviously not a good place then...

Yeah true...

bump... So is there a cruze 2night?

Yeah, I'm not a hoon, but I do like to have fun in my car every now & then away from houses & the public eye 'IE, industrial estates'. You cant speed in Syd 'in general' anyway, too many cars & camera's. Sounds good More details about where, when, etc. Man I love cruising at night time, the air is so cold & the horsepower is so high

Hey all I've just moved to Manly from Newcastle & want to know who are now my 'local' skyline neighbours for the area. A northern beaches Skyline owners casual cruze / meeting would be cool. Anyway I've only seen 1! skyline in manly... actually in an open garage. It's a white r32 GR with plates AOA-???, if thats your car I live just around the corner buddy! hah. Owww & I seen a stock looking grey r33 at warringah shoping centre, that's bout it tho Owww also I’d like to know a good place to ‘test’ out our cars. Back in Newy there was a good industrial road very wide & long & was good fun to give a few boots up & down vs mates. Cya!

ehhh too much effort

He's got a point...

r34 GTR Z-Tune thank you very much

LOL Are you really sure you wana do that :| *That programs is so big people have jobs using just 1 aspect of it, say, just modelling, or scripting, or rendering. etc...

FMD! Thats one's awesoooooome!

Yeah I think we've solved this one anyway... *IMHO* YES YOU CAN drive at low RPM in high gears & not do damage to your engine, BUT once your engine starts vibrating change gears because thats when you will start doing damage.

Yep! the lowest rpm I'll do driving *with my car & engine* is about 1500 RPM... But if I had a real torque’y longer stroke diesel engine it'd probably be 1000 RPM. Hell my dads m8s had an SV300 5.7 V8. You could put that thing in 6th gear, foot off the pedal & it had so much low down torque it would cruze at 80km/h at its idle RPM. & I bet if you dropped the RPM lower than the idle RPM but you had Full throttle you'd still be able to drive along at say 70km/h but in reality you just wouldn’t bother because you’ve got no power left to accelerate, you'd just cruze at 2000 RPM in a lower gear with a slightly open throttle with room to accelerate.

Ok so lets name what's physically going on differently at 1400 RPM no load & 1400 RPM Full load. 1400 RPM *in Neutral* Throttle slightly open *around 4% Minimal fuel being injected Minimal air being inducted Exhaust note very quiet *because not much air being passed through engine & out exhaust valves. *Oil, fill blank here, what’s going on with oil. 1400 RPM *in 5th gear* Throttle wide open *80 - 100%* Extra fuel being injected to create a more powerful bang Extra air being mixed with fuel to create more powerful bang Exhaust note louder / droned *because a much larger amount of air is being passed through engine out of a still slow 1400 RPM rotating exhaust cam. *Oil, fill blank here, what’s going on with oil. I think people are thinking because the engine gets such a low deep / drone exhaust note in that situation that it's gota be bad. Now I don’t actually know much about how oil lubrication is applied inside an engine but if somebody would like to fill in the blanks for the two examples above I believe it should be the final factor determining whether driving at low RPM in high gear with high load is physically damaging your motor or not, so we're really just about to set this story straight, just need the final oil question answered. I would have thought the same amount of oil would be being applied at 1400 RPM regardless of load, & that oil is applied at higher amounts in relation to RPM, & if it does apply more oil when the AFM detects more air going in then great. As lanc3 said, “Wouldn't it be common sense to know that forcing movement at a low force wouldn't do much”. Yes… regardless of air / fuel, at such a low RPM how could it be hurting the engine.

Ok so how is this 'load' physically hurting the engine... name parts exactly... Trying to ride a mountain bike up a hill in a higher gear doesn’t actually physically damage me, I'm simply not able to do the same thing 'pedal legs' as fast as if in a lower gear, no damage, just reduced speed / power / torque. So now we come back to an engine, how is an engine different at lower speed as it is at higher RPMs. *pistons, crankshaft, cams, all move the same still, just different speed depending on RPMs*. Each piston ignites creating x amount of torque at the given RPM. Now once the RPM is low enough & cannot create enough torque to move the car in the higher gear how is this actually damaging the engine. Isn’t the engine really just doing the same thing as it is at idle RPM, the internals are still all moving the same BUT the only difference at that same low RPM a lot more Air & Fuel is being injected to try & get the car to accelerate at that low RPM. This is my understanding of an engine & trying to get some explanation why low RPM in high gear is actually physically damaging / harmful to your engine, I heard someone say something about Oil before? Is oil the final factor? But at the moment with my limited understanding of engines I cannot see why an open full throttle at low RPMs is bad. Please correct / enlighten me.
