Whats the Rev limiter on a R34 Rb26???

I just bought my r32 gtr a little over a week ago and it has plenty of mods and Im trying to figure out everything that could possibly be done to this car that I dont know of. Heres a link to the car with known mods

So one of the biggest questions I am having is I have no idea if the block or head is built at all and the main reason im asking this is because I honestly do not think I have a rev limiter. She pulls SUPER hard and fast from 5500+rpm and before you know it im at 8k rpm and need to shift. Well today I kinda went too far and it hit 8500 and still no rev limiter (im not trying to rev it high it just goes from 5500-8k within a second or so and im still not used to the power). This is a chipped ECU that i plan on ditching within 6 months for a Haltech, but right now im confused. Was this motor possibly built to go 9k revs or something? I highly doubt whoever ECu tuned this thing would remove the rev limiter.

I currently want to buy a Zeitronix wideband data logger system and a Bee-R just to get me by for now so i dont blow my engine but at that point I might as well save up a bit more money and just go Haltech which will do both of the above with loads more.

Your thoughts?

Im in the USA and the car was bought from japan so no way of actually knowing what was all done. I know a lot of the stuff but this one is weird. Having a huge T04R turbo wouldnt it be weird to raise the rev limiter to an unsafe spot by the tuner? the power never falls off and keeps going.

I don't know about 34's but 32 tachos like to "exaggerate"

are the r32 clusters known to be off at high rpm?

Used to rev my 33 to 9500

Don't bother getting a bee r rev limiter, they are rubbish.
Take it to a tuner and just get them to check it out. Also if you are unsure, play it safe and don't rev this shit out of it until you get it all sorted

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
