: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.

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.

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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
