What Stresses The Engine More?

[GTRAAH]

Just a quick question, If u take off normally but then slowly boost it into the high revs 7 -8000rpm in 1st gear just to feel the boost but theres not enough road so then i put the clutch in quickly and let the engine wind down like its in nuetral, is that shocking the engine more then putting it into second gear straight away?

Summary: The revs go REALLY high in gear then then in mid or high boost take it out of gear, im just wondering if that bad for the engine?

meh its basically like reving ur engine while ur cars in neutral but ur using the gear to move the car..

i dont think ur doing damage.. but like any car sooner or later u will ware out something ... piston rings or something especially at 8000rpm...

personally i dont know why ur thrashing 1st gear to 8k rpm all the time ... ur gona blow something.

Also on that note.. i hope ur not killing 1st gear that much on our Victorian roads

Actually its more like 7000rpm thats the peak time of boost when i normally kick it into second, but sometimes you dont want to keep going.. so u just nuetral it. (sydney)

Please dont do this on the street, it makes baby jebbus cry and makes the police a bit upset to, do some track days and stuff and leave the hooning to the falcodoores.

from reading this post and a few of your others it seems you have no idea about how to drive a car, let alone a GTR.

i suggest you sell it before you hit a pole, seriously.

lol your not supposed to hit boost until the car is warmed up, let alone 1st gear 8000rpm journeys...

People like you shouldn't own GTR's in my oppinion.

[Humbla]

oh dear...

What he said.

[Deano 1]

Why u flaming the bloke, hus just asking a question.

Not warming i meant lubricating it haha I know your not meant tohit boost until its warmed i idled it for ahwhile before driving around the block.

ahahaha, the flamers in this thread are just as bad as the OP. no infact they are worse (except terry). h said he is only mildly boosting it up to high revs. not flooring it. 2 completely different things. also not really hooning other than making noise. and even in a 50km/h zone, he wouldn't be much over the speed limit in first.

as for whether its bad or not, it wouldn't be that bad. i'd say that flooring in and boosting hard up in first to 6000rpm would be worse than light boost to 7000rpm. and i think dipping the clutch would probably be better than using using the engine to slow you down from that speed as the less time you spend at higher revs the better. however you will slow down just as quick (or maybe even quicker) with it still in gear.

+1 for oh dear lol

personally i'd be going to 2nd, then slowing down again rather than holding 1st or dumping neutral and freewheeling it to a stop without the driveline engaged.

or rev it out in a 100km zone to ensure you are within the speedlimits.

Um yeah right.

If I tried that, my car would just stall haha -- I would just throw it into 2nd gear and hit the brakes.

[BeEnAr]

I would have thought High revs and low road speed would be killer for his Gearbox eventually, never mind the stress on the engine.
