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?

you want the engine to last but you are talking about doing launches in first gear from the limiter? doesn't make sense to me.

the rev limiter is probably set at about 7500rpm, but it's probably that your tacho is inaccurate (remember that they are old cars now). a mates 32 tacho read well over 500rpm out at redline compared to the PFC reading.

yeah i guess that is a bit of a contradition, but then again reving the tits of a cold car every morning would do alot more damage than 1st gear launch every week or 2 right?

if the limiter kicks in at 8000 but the redline is 7500 due to the incorrect tacho

is it likely that idling speed states 950 its actually closer to 500? isn't that a bit low?

should be ~700

the tacho will not read exatly 500 out across the whole range, it will vary

correct. generally it will be out be a percentage, not a set amount (just like the speedo will be). if the tacho is out by 10% then at idle it will be out by less than 100rpm, but at redline it would be out by nearly 1000rpm.

if i decided to be anal and replace and buy an APEXI RSM rev speed metre will it read correctly?

it will be accurate, as long as it's setup correctly, LOL.

    • 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?
