So you mean you've reved out to 9000rpm and never hit the limiter?

I never knew GT-Ts can rev to that high, Man.. yous must be quick!

i never thought so myself considering the stock dash starts redline at 7000rpm untill i realised my car just freely revs almost off the clock ands sounds like it could go further, ive raced other cars and by the time theyve hit 5th gear im still in 3rd reving it out and still taking the lead so it is an advantage

FWIW

Revving an rb25 to 9krpm is not a good idea... It will screw your head (bend a valve due to valve float) and wear out your rings... The engine just isn't designed to rev that hard.

Also, if you still have the stock turbo the car would be faster if you actually changed gear at the redline because the power curve will peak at about 6000rpm and well and truly tapering off at 7krpm let alone 9krpm.

thats why ive only occasionally briought it out to 9000rpm i havnt hit it in a while coz i didnt want to risk blowing anything but its good to know how high the rev range hits, i did have plans to put bigger turbo upgrade n work the motor a bit, i guess the next owner can deside weather to do that or not

just found out previos owner had apexi rsm on the car and brought it out to 11 100rpm the cars nuts thanks to the vvti the car loves high revs neva had any problems car runs beutiful always maintenaced even at high revs sounds healthy so i duno

I think what aphid means is that its stock INTERNALLY and has only bolt on mods, as you have listed:

Performance:

- Turbo back exhaust with blitz nur cannon

- HKS front mount intercooler

- Aftermarket Top Secret ECU

- Boost controller

- Automatic turbo timer

- Pod filter

- HKS oil cooler

- Heavy duty racing clutch

- Lightweight flywheel

- HKS hyper-d Coilover suspension

- Aluminium air deflector

None of these mods will help the car to rev to 9-11,000 RPM safely.... So if you do actually rev it that hard, which is doubtful, it could/would be causing serious damage to the engine. And on a stock turbo it would be making F All power reving that high as its wayy out of its effiency zone.

I dont mean to be negative, because its a very very nice looking car, you just dont need to say things like that to try and impress guys on here...they know these cars too well...

Anyway, Good Luck with your sale :P

thnx mate i just thought it was pretty unique for the car to be hitting such high revs and wanted people to know what it was capable of and still running healthy if the car doesnt sell im just gonna keep it so i can still be in with the skyline family :)

yeah sorry if i sounded harsh, but mate, limit that beast back to 7000rpm.. it's a beautiful looking car, but 9000rpm is really really stupid, anyhow.. back on topic. free bump :)

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
