I was asked by someone what I usually rev to thru each gear and when I told him about 4 grand, he said "all you R33 owners are the same! Why do you rev so high?"

When my car is cold I don't rev that high - i try not to use any boost at all...but during normal driving, i always rev to about 4 grand!

soooo what do you guys usually rev to?

ps i think I've used the word "rev" far too many times in this post :D

There is ONLY ONE import owner with a manual who doesn't worry me, and he's rarely on here. You lot are mad! Revving to 4000rpm all the time during normal driving! THEN you complain about fuel consumption... :lol: whyyyyyy. I think its because you are all so isolated and insulated from whats going on.

Unless gearing or conditions dictate otherwise, i shift at around 2000rpm now. Hot or cold. I used to go up to 3000rpm sometimes if i was in a bit of a hurry, to punch up a hill or something, but now im really povo (fuel), and plus, if im not going hard, its not fun anyway, just gonna wear the engine more.

funny thing is, the one import driver i mentioned has a modified Vspec. Cuts sick on track days though.

This is a pet peeve of mine, if you hadn't guessed.

P.S. Used to own a 20,000rpm roadbike, at 6000rpm it was still doughy as poop. :D

I shift at no more then 3,000 when the car is cold.

I shift at around 4,000 to 4,500 for normal city driving.

I shift at around 8,000 to 8,750 when drag racing, depends on what gear I am in to how far I take it.

Hey hirisk do you have stock internals in your car if so do they take that kind of reving easily cause with my GTR i have a big single and id love to remove the cut at 8000 to get a bit more from the turbo. When it only starts boostin at 5 i would like all the revs i can come across, thanks.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
