Valve bouncing? Isn't that more of a problem on the sr20? I've hit my limiter, unintentionally, it might find like f**king wow but if you've got bad luck you can almost instantly f**k your oil pump then kiss your engine good bye. I raised my limiter a couple hundred rpm, not to rev more, but to avoid hitting it.

More often than not the only times I hit it are when I miss the shift.

Lol bandwagoners

The sr suffered head problems but a 50 dollar part fixes that. (rocker stoppers) sr motors don't have as many oil controll problems as a rb

Excerpt from the book "Keeping YOUR RB Healthy!":

"It should also be mentioned that you should be redlining the car at least five times per day; this will ensure that your engine operates in the best possible way without any fatigue whatsoever. Doing so will also maximize the life of your engine, so do keep that in mind. It should become a habit every time you drive the car"

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
