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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
