So you mean you've reved out to 9000rpm and never hit the limiter?

I never knew GT-Ts can rev to that high, Man.. yous must be quick!

i never thought so myself considering the stock dash starts redline at 7000rpm untill i realised my car just freely revs almost off the clock ands sounds like it could go further, ive raced other cars and by the time theyve hit 5th gear im still in 3rd reving it out and still taking the lead so it is an advantage

FWIW

Revving an rb25 to 9krpm is not a good idea... It will screw your head (bend a valve due to valve float) and wear out your rings... The engine just isn't designed to rev that hard.

Also, if you still have the stock turbo the car would be faster if you actually changed gear at the redline because the power curve will peak at about 6000rpm and well and truly tapering off at 7krpm let alone 9krpm.

thats why ive only occasionally briought it out to 9000rpm i havnt hit it in a while coz i didnt want to risk blowing anything but its good to know how high the rev range hits, i did have plans to put bigger turbo upgrade n work the motor a bit, i guess the next owner can deside weather to do that or not

just found out previos owner had apexi rsm on the car and brought it out to 11 100rpm the cars nuts thanks to the vvti the car loves high revs neva had any problems car runs beutiful always maintenaced even at high revs sounds healthy so i duno

I think what aphid means is that its stock INTERNALLY and has only bolt on mods, as you have listed:

Performance:

- Turbo back exhaust with blitz nur cannon

- HKS front mount intercooler

- Aftermarket Top Secret ECU

- Boost controller

- Automatic turbo timer

- Pod filter

- HKS oil cooler

- Heavy duty racing clutch

- Lightweight flywheel

- HKS hyper-d Coilover suspension

- Aluminium air deflector

None of these mods will help the car to rev to 9-11,000 RPM safely.... So if you do actually rev it that hard, which is doubtful, it could/would be causing serious damage to the engine. And on a stock turbo it would be making F All power reving that high as its wayy out of its effiency zone.

I dont mean to be negative, because its a very very nice looking car, you just dont need to say things like that to try and impress guys on here...they know these cars too well...

Anyway, Good Luck with your sale :P

thnx mate i just thought it was pretty unique for the car to be hitting such high revs and wanted people to know what it was capable of and still running healthy if the car doesnt sell im just gonna keep it so i can still be in with the skyline family :)

yeah sorry if i sounded harsh, but mate, limit that beast back to 7000rpm.. it's a beautiful looking car, but 9000rpm is really really stupid, anyhow.. back on topic. free bump :)

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
