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 :)

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
