sometimes, well most of the time i have it flat stick or slight throttle it bounces off the limiter and bogs down, missfires and slowly looses revs and power, its like what happens when your spark plug gap is ****ed...it was doing it with a gap of .8 then i went to a .7 but still does it. if i back off and back on the throttle it will sometimes get better but once it hits the limiter again itll bog down, missfire and loose revs even with foot flat or slightly, its like as if its surging out. this is mainly halfway through a slide (off street). all i want it to do is bounce off the limiter cleanly for peace at mind.

whats a solution? should i close or open gap more or is it something else? timing perhaps? i got no idea

cheers.

The R34 will happily bounce off the rev limiter all day.

It used to be a slow pop pop pop as it hit limiter and then dropped spark then picked up again, but now with the light flywheel, its like a machine gun!

Nice.

Could be coils if it starts happening before you get to the limiter - mine starts misfiring at around 4500, and I don't usually see more than that because it feels terrible.

I understand that the car isn't running properly, but why do you want it to bounce off the limiter? If you're accelerating, hitting the limiter is costing you time, if you're doing a burnout, backing off the throttle a fraction should make bugger-all difference to smoke output, and if you're trying to drift, hitting the limiter generally means that you either have no throttle control or you're doing it wrong.

Learn throttle control - your car will thank you for it, and you'll be a better, quicker driver.

its not that i bounce it off the limiter often, its just the satisfaction that it will run cleanly if need be. all these people are sayin learn throttle control, learn throttle control, when clearly its not about that, i must explain a little better, as SOON as it hit the limiter, no bouncing off it, even without WOT, it still does it, sometimes doesnt even need to hit limiter, it just goes BRRRRR, looses revs and power and sometimes backfires hard. always when its under load.

sorry to confuse the subject but yea im not one of these 'lets just flatten it around a corner' style drivers.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
