hi guys just like to ask what my prob may be

when your in 1st and you take off from a set of ligths and nail it.. it gets to rev limiter and bounceses on it 1-2 times then flat lines (cuts out) until you go 2nd

what would cause this prob??

:down: You must be joking...

all am trying to do is work out what is up with my car and what i put in the first post was the best way to describ it

so pls if you can't help dont post

and if every one wants to act like a 12yr old here you go

PS like no one on this forum has never hit limiter in there car....just to add i dont do it on the streets as i dont drive the car. my misses dose...i only drive it on the track

oh oh befor i for get i know i cant sell so no point telling me something that i all ready now.

Of course it flat lines - it's hit a limit. It's doing exactly what Nissan designed it to do. It protects the engine from idiots.

Actually Daniel, the problem is somewhere between the left ear and the right ear - I think it's called a vacuum.

do you know what flat line means?...what i'am saying is it gets to limiter then it's like you turn the key off and restart it once in 2nd

thanks i know i have a vacum between the ears it absorbes all the info better then rocks

Is that so?

You're the one acting like a 12 year old. You're driving like you're playing a computer game? Learn how to drag race properly. Both power and torque curves stop way before the rev limiter - there is simply no need to take the engine RPM that high.

sorry ppl for wasting my time here i guess the question is just to hard for a lady to answer ill go to a forum where they no about jap cars not a forum where they think they no about jap cars

Go to another forum...but before you do, perhaps consider that given everyone here is telling you how much of a jackass you are...you might be wrong in what you are doing and saying? We're not the ones who are going to end up with a conrod through our engine blocks. And I'll warn you...you will get the same responses from any knowledgeable forum. What really made me laugh is you saying "Jap cars" as if this is a Jap car specific "problem"? Go back to playing Need For Speed you idiot.

yes that is so not that long a go i went to oran park skid pan for the first and this is when i notice the the prob

not to be smart but i dont play computer games or game consoles....i dont drag race and the only time i have ever hit the limiter was at the skidpan when i spun out (i'm not saying i know how to drive)...and the car has only been rego for 2weeks or there abouts and the misses drive it as i'm on my green P's and have my 2 kids in the car most of the time so to do any thing of they above with kids in the car or evern with out kids in the car your an idiot

hey man i'm just trying to work out what is up with it

Why is the problem bothering you if the only time you hit the rev limiter is at a skidpan?

I can do anything in my car without hitting the engine rev limiter...even burnouts...but they aren't really my thing. Shift long before the limiter and practice throttle control...then you will be fine. I'm guessing your ECU shut down your engine, as is the function of a rev limiter, to protect it. Much the same thing happens when you hit 180km/h in a JDM vehicle.

hmmm ok thank you....i was chating to a mate a few days a go and he thinks it may be the CAS as the car was in a aco by the previous owner.

Well a quick fix for this problem, Firstly BEFORE you get to the redline you need to rapidly remove your right foot/shoe from the accelerator pedal. Then with your left foot/shoe you need to press in the pedal furthest to the left ( this is called the clutch pedal ) Whilst that pedal is depressed , With your left hand you need to reach over and grab the gear stick and gently but assertively select the next gear. When this sequence is complete gently but assertively release pressure from the clutch pedal ( your left foot/shoe ) until pedal has completed all of its travel. Resume acceleration by pressing the pedal furthest to the right ( Accelerator pedal )

Hope that helps your problem :)

cheers man now i see what i was doing wrong...i was flat changing and for getting about lifting the right foot/shoe befor changing gears :):ninja:

i understand wat ur saying with the (flat line) bit if its a factory computer i cant say from experience cuz ive never had a standard computer but dont they have sum sorta protection cut that basically stops the engine from revving completely..... my mates lil sss pulsar in lil fits of rage hes just hold it on the rev limiter and it would just die in the arse or as old mate says it flat lines as if the fuel or ignition had been shut off for a second.... not saying its the same thing but i defo noticed it.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
