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

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
