I haven't yet needed/been able to to rev mine past 7000, maybe I'm driving too soft Pete!

Would be interesting, but I doubt it can flow much more air than it currently does at that rpm on a big capacity, hence why dump mod didn't change much?

I use do take MI e to 8.5 or 9k.

whichever the limiter was set at.

went good.

Before the build I could hit 10k with not trouble, because I was too slow to grab 2nd the first time I booted it :)

Even when the T78 was changed for the 6262 it was limited at 9.5k and no trouble getting there. I could never stop myself from testing it :/

Maybe there is also some cam adjustment for a bit more grunt as I do not need anymore than 7000rpm.

Can dialing the cams make much difference for response, there might be something left with a bit of tweaking ??

Still not responsive enough?

Shouldve gotten a M3 or C63 AMG with this amount of money.

Limiter a day keeps the doctor away. Gotta make sure its still there

I did not want another car, I like this one!

Dead a long time Mate , might as well do one really stupid thing in your life :)

That's why they limit them, so you can check it out when needed .

Should have got RIPS NZ to build you a 3.2L would still rev to 9000rpm :P

shoulda coulda woulda, but I didn't and what would I do with 9k , thats why I went this way. I did speak to them earlier but I still needed someone to pull it down and put it together and fix it if shit happens

No mate it will all be good, nice looking R that holds the road and goes pretty quick, early :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

Why?

The bottom end hasn't flung apart. The only possible reasons for the rpm limit are turbo restriction, or ignition issues, or potentially the cam settings.

All a bottom end has to do is stay in one piece, everything else actually makes the power.

^^^^^^^

If I wanted big power I would have gone bigger bolt ons.

After I do the fuel mods and flex tune I can bump it up if I ever wanted without costing and arm and leg, because I have already spent the arm and leg :whistling:

We aren't saying you did want big power. We are saying that the other guy is off point by suggesting another builder would have it rev to 9k with the same parts

I understood what you said and even the 2.6 that CRD built that was in my car , was strong and rev it's head off, or your head off.

I believe the 3.2 motor they built me is as good as most.

It seems more blokes want the top end bigger power and I understand why, it is exciting when it kicks in and when you have the revs up.

I thought about doing some Hill climb events once the car was 100% and watched some more hill climb vids this morning, that was the end of that idea, they take it pretty serious and rip! Do they have any geriatric events or do they have a different class for the mug drivers ??

Ummmm not necessarily.

Why not, I guess it is what you think is expensive, poke in a new suitable turbo and maybe different cams dial them in and tune , E85 and away you go. I wish :)

I am not talking a 900 HP car but it should be pretty good

I have better expectations for mine as it is set up now and if it does not meet them I will change whatever.

To get it going set it for 2000rpm. There's your response.

SET WHAT ?, I take it you are joking and pulling my leg ?

If not, Do a Pauline, please explain :/

You know that I know nothing much about modifying cars, only what I have been learning while on SAU. I know more now in 18 months than I ever knew about cars and that is not a lot.

Up until now, I just buy them, drive them, brakes down someone fixes them, it was easy, only had to have the NRMA card with you :)

    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
    • Yeah, all good ...got your postal addy as well ; I'll box the stuff in the next couple of weeks, you can paypal me later..
    • Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
