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.

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

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
