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?

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
