hi guys just like to ask what my prob may be

when your in 1st and you take off from a set of ligths and nail it.. it gets to rev limiter and bounceses on it 1-2 times then flat lines (cuts out) until you go 2nd

what would cause this prob??

:down: You must be joking...

all am trying to do is work out what is up with my car and what i put in the first post was the best way to describ it

so pls if you can't help dont post

and if every one wants to act like a 12yr old here you go

PS like no one on this forum has never hit limiter in there car....just to add i dont do it on the streets as i dont drive the car. my misses dose...i only drive it on the track

oh oh befor i for get i know i cant sell so no point telling me something that i all ready now.

Of course it flat lines - it's hit a limit. It's doing exactly what Nissan designed it to do. It protects the engine from idiots.

Actually Daniel, the problem is somewhere between the left ear and the right ear - I think it's called a vacuum.

do you know what flat line means?...what i'am saying is it gets to limiter then it's like you turn the key off and restart it once in 2nd

thanks i know i have a vacum between the ears it absorbes all the info better then rocks

Is that so?

You're the one acting like a 12 year old. You're driving like you're playing a computer game? Learn how to drag race properly. Both power and torque curves stop way before the rev limiter - there is simply no need to take the engine RPM that high.

sorry ppl for wasting my time here i guess the question is just to hard for a lady to answer ill go to a forum where they no about jap cars not a forum where they think they no about jap cars

Go to another forum...but before you do, perhaps consider that given everyone here is telling you how much of a jackass you are...you might be wrong in what you are doing and saying? We're not the ones who are going to end up with a conrod through our engine blocks. And I'll warn you...you will get the same responses from any knowledgeable forum. What really made me laugh is you saying "Jap cars" as if this is a Jap car specific "problem"? Go back to playing Need For Speed you idiot.

yes that is so not that long a go i went to oran park skid pan for the first and this is when i notice the the prob

not to be smart but i dont play computer games or game consoles....i dont drag race and the only time i have ever hit the limiter was at the skidpan when i spun out (i'm not saying i know how to drive)...and the car has only been rego for 2weeks or there abouts and the misses drive it as i'm on my green P's and have my 2 kids in the car most of the time so to do any thing of they above with kids in the car or evern with out kids in the car your an idiot

hey man i'm just trying to work out what is up with it

Why is the problem bothering you if the only time you hit the rev limiter is at a skidpan?

I can do anything in my car without hitting the engine rev limiter...even burnouts...but they aren't really my thing. Shift long before the limiter and practice throttle control...then you will be fine. I'm guessing your ECU shut down your engine, as is the function of a rev limiter, to protect it. Much the same thing happens when you hit 180km/h in a JDM vehicle.

hmmm ok thank you....i was chating to a mate a few days a go and he thinks it may be the CAS as the car was in a aco by the previous owner.

Well a quick fix for this problem, Firstly BEFORE you get to the redline you need to rapidly remove your right foot/shoe from the accelerator pedal. Then with your left foot/shoe you need to press in the pedal furthest to the left ( this is called the clutch pedal ) Whilst that pedal is depressed , With your left hand you need to reach over and grab the gear stick and gently but assertively select the next gear. When this sequence is complete gently but assertively release pressure from the clutch pedal ( your left foot/shoe ) until pedal has completed all of its travel. Resume acceleration by pressing the pedal furthest to the right ( Accelerator pedal )

Hope that helps your problem :)

cheers man now i see what i was doing wrong...i was flat changing and for getting about lifting the right foot/shoe befor changing gears :):ninja:

i understand wat ur saying with the (flat line) bit if its a factory computer i cant say from experience cuz ive never had a standard computer but dont they have sum sorta protection cut that basically stops the engine from revving completely..... my mates lil sss pulsar in lil fits of rage hes just hold it on the rev limiter and it would just die in the arse or as old mate says it flat lines as if the fuel or ignition had been shut off for a second.... not saying its the same thing but i defo noticed it.

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
