ok well i did it, i set it to 6950 last night.

two things.

1. even tho it was set at 6950 it still spiked out to 7215rpm when i hit the rev limit hard. is that normal?

and

2. Does it hurt the engine or anything bouncing it off the limiter?

do you have to turn car off and back on again to get the settings to stay in?

i've not fiddled with a power fc for a while

tho maybe not true, as i remember sitting at lights and adjusting the launch control (gti-r) and that changed right away. now there was a few funny looks from other motorists, Bang bang bang bang!

if the engine couldn't rev happily to 8000rpm they wouldn't have put the factory rev limiter there.

So what I said about the factory limiter being at 8000RPM is correct?

Why the hell lower it to 6950 then!!! It's CRAZY TALK!

ive been told that 8000 is way to high and should reali be kept around 7000revs... so daily i wouldnt need any more then that.

Just being safe..

On a daily car, it is fine.

On the race track, stick a bit lower down. (This is why the ex bathurst GTR ran a 7000RPM limiter on race day, but during prac/qual ran 8000RPM...)

also dude, if its your daily, how many times in a day are you going to be bouncing off you rev limiter?? im sure you will give it a squirt here and there, and if you do, having you rev limit at 7500rpm is fine, even 8000rpm! but just dont sit there and bounce, obviously then you asking for trouble. with these motors, in first and second you still pull when hitting 6500 - 7500 or so, so if your changing gears early, then you wont be inside your torque range in the next gears.. and so on...

so your saying hitting 7000rpm on a daily basis is fine?

Is this a trick question or a very silly one?

Not sure... so im gonna reply with one of my own

You sit on the limiter daily driving?

No.

So of course its fine for a daily driver.

Bouncing of a 7k limiter would be FAR WORSE than reving the car to 7500rpm and changing naturally.

You often come here with some misinformation, so wherever you keep getting it from, you need to stop going there or talking to that person.

7500rpm would be FINE. However, are you making power there on the stock turbos? Probably not that much so changing from 7k-7.5k would be the spot

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
