Another Newbie Question...

[Dannyism]

Hey all,

Another amateur question, just wondering. does my 1996 R33 GTS-T (series 2 rb25det m-spec) have a rev or speed limiter. (only mods are exhaust decat, rims, pod filter)

On one occasion i was doing over 180 and felt the engine cut out, i backed off and it seemed to be running fine.

On the second occasion i felt the same cut out feeling when i accidentally stepped into the red.. again seems to be running fine after.

Im wondering (hopeing) if one was due to a speed limiter, and two due to a rev limiter...

Also, this sorta thing is gunna do the engine harm right?

Anyway, thanks for your time

Correct on both accounts. Factory speed limiter is 180km/hr, hence why the car cutout at that speed.

Car has a rev limter which kicks in just after 7000rpm, or as you said, just into the red. Repeated bouncing the rev limiter is bad for the engine, touching once in a while shoudnt do too much harm, provided you maintain your car well and it hasnt had a trashed llife before
