Hit limiter also causes engine knock, which can lead to broken ring lands, pitting in the combustion chamber and on the piston.

99% of knock readings on limiter are false. unless you've got more timing in that cell than others under full power it'll fine knock wise.

agree with the rest though, bad idea in general to limiter bash

5 seconds? haha what a dickbag.

do your mates realise that the car is actually losing speed while they are doing this? or are they actually too stupid to notice?

Excessive use of limiter will eventually break an oil pump.

Hard cut does do damage to bearings and could also pay a part in rod bolt failure too.

However, a lot of drifters sit on the limiter all day and i personally havn't heard of someone breaking an oil pump because of it.

Oil pump is definitely the weakest link though. Having a short nose crank, stock oil pump, old worn harmonic balancer and hitting limiter all the time. The odds are really against you.

heres a stupid question..How does a harmonic balancer get worn?

Kitto:

Never met someone who's broken an oil pump from limiter abuse hey?

Let me know when you're in my kneck of the woods, I'll come say hi. Then you'll know someone who has broken an oil pump through limiter abuse.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
