On the Power FC menu (accessed via the COmmander) you can set the rev limit to where ever you want.

But the bottom line for me is, if I can't trust the workshop not to thrash the car, then why would I trust them to fix/service it properly? Better to find a workshop you do trust.

:D

With Stock ECU:

You can try un-plugging the AFM or the earth strap on it.

To get the car to start so they can drive around or move it, but they can't rev it over 2,000rpm as the ecu has gone into home limp mode ;)

Then once you'r finished connect it back up and all is sweet !

With Power FC:

What SK said, :(

:D

if u unplug the afm, it'll stop you from thrashing it, but will make the car run wierd, and the mechanic will just plug it back in....

I wouldn't worry about it that much, if it's a performance workshop, they'll be used to driving turbo cars all the time.

Not really,

I've seen plently of cars driven with the afm un-pluged, not boosting but just moving the car, with out realising.

I don't know about the R32 but i have seen r33's do it :(

As for them plugging it back in, well yeh they can then you'l know they have thrashed it or brung it on boost. As SK & Ben said if you can't trust you'r mechanic get another one.

:D

I was more referring to people like:

Interior retrimmers

Panel beaters/resprayers

Valets

Etc

Oh dear, I would never give my Skyline to a valet:spew:

Your own rev limit should be set to protect the engine anyway.

For the others, a quick turn down of the boost should do it. A normally aspirated 2.0/2.5/2.6 isn't very interesting to drive. :confused:

a bit off topic but anyway here is my question:

the rev limit it set at 6900 as i can see on my pfc commader... yet ive tested it a few times and it has shown peak revs hit 7150 one time... but usually in lower gears it sometimes hits 7000 (i am getting these peak readings off the commander not the tacho btw..)

is that normal? ie. is the rev limit sort of soft?

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
