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:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
