Its not like I'm going to do it every gear change. Just to launch it in first gear on the odd occasion

And yeah pretty much cause it sounds cool

haha, yes i agree, redlining sounds mad, not like its bad for your car, when doing burnouts or you go drifting, you will hit redline a heap of times :D

just make sure you have a nice exhaust to go with it ;)

Well yeah kind of. I revved it to 7600rpm and got scared of doing damage so I took my foot off the throttle.

on my R33 it would go to exactly 7000 which was the redline and then bounce off the limiter in the R32 the redline starts with red dashes at 7000 then a solid redline at 7500 so I assumed the rev limiter should start at 7500

and for gods sake, do it when your engine is warm....... just saying, ive seen some people wreck their engines driving on the limiter when its cold.

also i think that every car with a ecu, at least ignition and injector ECU system has a rev limiter.

there was a bunch of chips being sold on the internet a few years back that removed limiter. ive personally driven an r32 gtst with (i can only assume) something similar.

it was pretty much stock except the thing revved right off the tacho. so above 9000 rpm. i couldnt find limiter lol.

car had many problems but amazing a spun bearing wasnt one of them lol.

EDIT

the bloke who owned it used to come on here. apex_sx or something like that

Of course I wouldnt do it cold, I NEVER take it above 2500rpm until the temp gauge is in the middle I'm sure the people who get stuck behind me in morning traffic are spun out that and R32 is being driven like a grandma but I want the engine to last.

Just out of interest If the limiter was removed would going just a tad over 8000rpm do any damage to the engine?

On stock internals?Then yes...eventually.

Nissan put a limiter on the max revs the engine will take,too risky going over it.

so just doing it once won't matter too much then?

if the limiter has been taken out i won't try it again

mine used to bounce at 7600-7700 with stock ecu. was slightly higher with nistue. but PLEASE keep it on the track!!!!!!!! on the street there is nothing more homosexual than wankers hitting limiter. its a true sign of a f**kwit.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
