Ceffy Bangs the limiter most days when Im driving and especially at the track when drifting, the RB20 loves limter!!!

As for durability, I seen a horrible Non turbo R33 Auto at the Drag tag burnout pit last nite, and he sat on the spot in first gear for about 3 minutes popping on the rev limiter. CONSTANTLY. The Aircon belt popped within a minute but he kept going. Sounded terrible.

Bite me - the car is nice - the driver sucked hahahah BTW its a turbo... And i popped the belt within 15 seconds, Its breathing a hell of alot better after the hiding i gave it last night :laugh:

the rev limiter is there in a safe place to stop you making melted steel out of ur motor. i have seen/driven many a car bouncing continuously off the rev limiter. Look at a typical drift meeting at barbs. For a good 150m we are smashing limiter up the hill in 3rd and yet to break anything. stop being so weak, get out there smash some limiter and scare some old people :laugh:

agree 100% if your not smashing the limiter ur not tring hard enough!

Machine Gun Limiter Pfc Style!!!!!

The Rev Limiter is a Guide so is the speedo, To reach the end of a dial is a goal. Once there you will never look back!

Seriously most Jap cars the red line is under stated by about 1500 rpm, eg compare Nismo dash cluster to stad cluster for a GTR, std readline at 8 grand

Nismo around 9.5 to 10 mark.

The under testing by Nissan would do a similiar test flat chat for days on end til the engine blew up to simulate increased engine wear. So driving that hard will stress the engine and increase engine wear hich if done on a regular basis leaves things open for things to fail.

Looks like I'm the minority here :laugh:

RB26's cost a fortune to rebuild though so I'm not fussed.

No seriously i dont think you are. If you are hitting a limiter say 1st to 2nd in a drag race, provided you've got traction, you must be losing momentum, so from that aspect its counter productive. Unless your Roy and your doing some MC work:laugh:

Wah, wah, wah...throttle control this, durability that. :)

I use a lot of limiter in first and 2nd gear as i need every last rpm so that when i shift i dont fall out of the powerband.

LOL...anyone that has seen (or heard :D ) me coming onto the straight at Sandown knows that i hit the limiter a bit. Its not intentional and i would rather not be doing it.

I even have multistage shift lights so i know the revs im pulling. But if you back off you lose momentum and the whole throttle control thing...provided its not pointless wheelspin you just have to wait that brief moment for road speed to equalise with rpm...then you just shift up :(

Plust the things revs out so quick when comign out of slow 2nd gear corners, sometimes you are jsut too busy with the steering and keeping the thingon the blackstuff to worry about shifting up before you are out of the corner

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
