Just a quick question, If u take off normally but then slowly boost it into the high revs 7 -8000rpm in 1st gear just to feel the boost but theres not enough road so then i put the clutch in quickly and let the engine wind down like its in nuetral, is that shocking the engine more then putting it into second gear straight away?

Summary: The revs go REALLY high in gear then then in mid or high boost take it out of gear, im just wondering if that bad for the engine?

meh its basically like reving ur engine while ur cars in neutral but ur using the gear to move the car..

i dont think ur doing damage.. but like any car sooner or later u will ware out something ... piston rings or something especially at 8000rpm...

personally i dont know why ur thrashing 1st gear to 8k rpm all the time ... ur gona blow something.

Also on that note.. i hope ur not killing 1st gear that much on our Victorian roads :D

Actually its more like 7000rpm thats the peak time of boost when i normally kick it into second, but sometimes you dont want to keep going.. so u just nuetral it. (sydney) :)

Please dont do this on the street, it makes baby jebbus cry and makes the police a bit upset to, do some track days and stuff and leave the hooning to the falcodoores.

from reading this post and a few of your others it seems you have no idea about how to drive a car, let alone a GTR.

i suggest you sell it before you hit a pole, seriously.

im just asking cause i havent been taking it out of the garage for awhile and went to warm it up around the block but theres not enough road and wanted to hit boost lol its not like i do it every time i drive... Battery ive been driving the car for 3 years now! asking whats stresses the engine more this or that makes not know how to drive ?? i bet i drive the car better then u !

lol your not supposed to hit boost until the car is warmed up, let alone 1st gear 8000rpm journeys...

Why u flaming the bloke, hus just asking a question.

And Juz...... wtf are u doing here, you dont even have a car...... the BMX bike forums are just a google search away for ya..... go bother someone eles

Not warming i meant lubricating it haha I know your not meant tohit boost until its warmed i idled it for ahwhile before driving around the block.

ahahaha, the flamers in this thread are just as bad as the OP. no infact they are worse (except terry). h said he is only mildly boosting it up to high revs. not flooring it. 2 completely different things. also not really hooning other than making noise. and even in a 50km/h zone, he wouldn't be much over the speed limit in first.

as for whether its bad or not, it wouldn't be that bad. i'd say that flooring in and boosting hard up in first to 6000rpm would be worse than light boost to 7000rpm. and i think dipping the clutch would probably be better than using using the engine to slow you down from that speed as the less time you spend at higher revs the better. however you will slow down just as quick (or maybe even quicker) with it still in gear.

personally i'd be going to 2nd, then slowing down again rather than holding 1st or dumping neutral and freewheeling it to a stop without the driveline engaged.

or rev it out in a 100km zone to ensure you are within the speedlimits.

Um yeah right.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
