Ceffy Bangs the limiter most days when Im driving and especially at the track when drifting, the RB20 loves limter!!!

As for durability, I seen a horrible Non turbo R33 Auto at the Drag tag burnout pit last nite, and he sat on the spot in first gear for about 3 minutes popping on the rev limiter. CONSTANTLY. The Aircon belt popped within a minute but he kept going. Sounded terrible.

Bite me - the car is nice - the driver sucked hahahah BTW its a turbo... And i popped the belt within 15 seconds, Its breathing a hell of alot better after the hiding i gave it last night :laugh:

the rev limiter is there in a safe place to stop you making melted steel out of ur motor. i have seen/driven many a car bouncing continuously off the rev limiter. Look at a typical drift meeting at barbs. For a good 150m we are smashing limiter up the hill in 3rd and yet to break anything. stop being so weak, get out there smash some limiter and scare some old people :laugh:

agree 100% if your not smashing the limiter ur not tring hard enough!

Machine Gun Limiter Pfc Style!!!!!

The Rev Limiter is a Guide so is the speedo, To reach the end of a dial is a goal. Once there you will never look back!

Seriously most Jap cars the red line is under stated by about 1500 rpm, eg compare Nismo dash cluster to stad cluster for a GTR, std readline at 8 grand

Nismo around 9.5 to 10 mark.

The under testing by Nissan would do a similiar test flat chat for days on end til the engine blew up to simulate increased engine wear. So driving that hard will stress the engine and increase engine wear hich if done on a regular basis leaves things open for things to fail.

Looks like I'm the minority here :laugh:

RB26's cost a fortune to rebuild though so I'm not fussed.

No seriously i dont think you are. If you are hitting a limiter say 1st to 2nd in a drag race, provided you've got traction, you must be losing momentum, so from that aspect its counter productive. Unless your Roy and your doing some MC work:laugh:

Wah, wah, wah...throttle control this, durability that. :)

I use a lot of limiter in first and 2nd gear as i need every last rpm so that when i shift i dont fall out of the powerband.

LOL...anyone that has seen (or heard :D ) me coming onto the straight at Sandown knows that i hit the limiter a bit. Its not intentional and i would rather not be doing it.

I even have multistage shift lights so i know the revs im pulling. But if you back off you lose momentum and the whole throttle control thing...provided its not pointless wheelspin you just have to wait that brief moment for road speed to equalise with rpm...then you just shift up :(

Plust the things revs out so quick when comign out of slow 2nd gear corners, sometimes you are jsut too busy with the steering and keeping the thingon the blackstuff to worry about shifting up before you are out of the corner

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
