A 12k rpm tacho in a car that can only rev to 5750rpm....

No idea what car it is.

It was on photobucket, it was free, I don't have one , I don't want one,...........it was the closest I found at short notice.

reminds me of a 'tube vid of a bunch of kiwi's laughing at some bloke in a boat drifiting at some circuit... 1st gear limiter for aaaaaaaaaaaaaages.. if only i could find that vid

Dammit Zebra! glare.gif

Draw? happy.gif

No I havnt seen someone break an oil pump that was caused just by limiter bashing.

Harmonic balancers are a serviceable part and should be replaced every XX km.

From speaking to tuners and information from a power FC, although im not a huge fan of the power FC. Ive found that high knock readings are found when hitting limiter. How reliable knock readings are from the PFC is another thing.

Sadly I think it goes beyond this forum. I think the whole world is becoming more stupid!

:stupid:

Stupider.

OP, I doubt your friend is holding the car on the limiter for 5 whole seconds. Get a stop watch or just count 5 seconds in your head, if someone could hold the car on the limiter like that then there must be something wrong with them. The car sounds like death and drops off the power curve, so it will noticeably slow down.

Thanks for that info. What do you mean you don't want one? Man if I had 2 tacho's like that I would have one lined up with each eyeball to get stereoscopic revving uley. cool.gif

I wasn't giving you shit tho. It is a 90's model commodore in case you were wondering. They don't rev very high and take ages to get there too.

Ever thought he may have just been exaggerating and pulled a random number out of the air? :P

Yeah, sorry I wasn't sure so took the 'not insulting but refuting' approach. Lol at '90's Commie, I've probably been in one, but never cared enough to notice.

And TBH, I'd probably get one and use it if I was at a drag strip meet or something, but otherwise I don't need it, you tend to feel the torque drop off and change up anyway.

I think you'd get eye strain looking at that one though, be like ground level front row seats for the movies and watching an epic battle like LOTR's or Star Wars etc - my neck hurts thinking about it......lol

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
