Hey guys hoping someone can give me some very helpfull info I'm looking at a r32 gtst on the weekend however I was wondering what rpm they sit on at 110 as I drive 30 mins up the highway every day for work.and was wondering if they could comfortably sit at 110 without causing premature wear.

Thanks

Shit, you guys have it rough and need to maintain your skylines a bit more.

I can get 45 mins easy before any permanent damage occurs.

However, this one time I tried 50 mins but my laptop alerted me that there would be damage to my manifold so me being the idiot I am, told it to "Shut Up!!" and slammed the screen down. Within seconds, the floorboard to my car fell off. Which was such a pain in the ass, cos I almost had the bald dude I was racing :(

ignore the above! no issues aslong as you have oil in it :)

It could be interesting question. The usual RPM that an engine operates is only 1 factor in its longevity. My first motorcycle spent a good 80k kms above 10k rpm (250cc 4 cyl), and on uphill highways I would have to cruise at 13k rpm. The engine showed no signs of a worn out motor when I sold it.

I have driven many kms in new economy cars and I have concerns about some of the GM korean made motors. The straight 6 motor found in the epica seemed to have issues with oil pooling and flooding in the head with extended rpms over 3k.

It could be, but it's not. We're talking about a Japanese built car...they have 100km/h freeways too. Even if there's a scientific basis to support it, it's going to be a negligible at best - thus troll answers. There's more wear in engine start up and turn off than there is in a running engine.

So it's like RB overoiling issues only 20 years later and 5k rpm earlier?

I put a Commodore 3.8 engine in my 33...now seeing regular stints of up to 1 hour continuous running - minimal wear.

Put an ls1 in it, ive seen over an hour and the floor pan was only just starting to fall out at that...

It depends what type of porting you have in your 32.

A healthy bridgeport will see good consistent driving at speeds 108-112 but a more "street styled" extend port will be struggling doing half hour stints on the freeway, best to stay in the left lane doing no more then 105 km/h - so leave 5 minutes early!

:rofl: Hank you idiot...if he was asking about rotors his concerns would actually be warranted . :rofl:

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
