Is There A Rev Limiter On An R32 Gts-T?

[stig mick]

i loved the sound of it on my R33

but i'm not sure if there is one on my r32

and i'm not game to rev above 7500rpm just incase there isn't one and i stuff my engine

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

which ecu?

stock has one, and 99.999999% of atermaret ecu's do aswell

[stig mick]

it's stock as far as i can tell (as in doesn't look tampered with or chipped)

what should the stock one rev up too?

[AAARGH 33]

It should rev up to where ever the redline on your tacho is (7000rpm).

And you want to redline because you thinks it sounds cool??

[boiracer]

snapping the next gear right on redline does

[stig mick]

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

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

How on earth could you think your car does not have a rev limiter? So you thought the crank just rotates faster and faster until something breaks?

[stig mick]

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

I've found the tacho reads a bit higher than actual. The last time I bounced the limiter, tacho was showing around 8k.

Ok sweet I'll give it a go when I rake the car out tommorrow, doesn't look like I'll get a chance to drive it today

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.

[tm_r33]

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

a simple question was asked and the thread is full of jibberish.

R32 factory rev limiter is around 7700rpm~

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?

[AAARGH 33]

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

[adamskill]

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.

[stig mick]

8000rpm the rev limiter kicks in thanks for all you help guys

[ARTZ]

Rb20s dobnt need rev-limiters .

They are just too awesome to be limited
