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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
