I have just bought an r33 and i was wondering is it dangerous on the engine when I redline from time to time. this evening was first time i hit the limiter when going through a tunnel and i didnt realise how much the car would bang and shoot flames. should i be staying away from doing this or is it ok now and again

Thats fully sik bro, a pimp car like that needs to be redlined as often as possible when u get the chance, not driven like a nanny! Thats what skylines r made for bro, RBs are made for that n flames n banging are perfectly normal....

If you hold it on the red-zone for like 15-20secs while driving n shifting every couple days or so, you will have a very healthy n clean engine as that will suck all the shit n carbon build-up out of your engine as some dude mentioned above.

yeah limiter bashing is completely fine . . I used to do it all the time . . . Well Atleast until something unrelated killed my oil pump . . But as i say , that was absolutely nothing to do with limiter .

Oh yeah and some chikos and most cops give mad respect for limiter bashing and flames.

I suggest you read up on rb engines and valve bashing it hmm wonder why they call it valve bouncing?

Redline/limiter /= valve bounce.

I used to hit the limiter often in my 33. No harm done.

I wouldn't suggest holding it on the limiter, but flicking it every now and then won't be too much of an issue.

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
    • Hi, i got 1998 r34 4 door auto abs model and its manual converted with bigbox when i bought it . I successfully find the neutral and reverse light wire but can’t find the speed signal wires for speedo drive. I know its grey plug but on my loom no grey plug with 2 wires . I opened the loom upto where it getting branch with other wire, i’m amazed they is no wire. So need help how to fix the speedometer problem.
