I have just bought an r33 and i was wondering is it dangerous on the engine when I redline from time to time. this evening was first time i hit the limiter when going through a tunnel and i didnt realise how much the car would bang and shoot flames. should i be staying away from doing this or is it ok now and again

Thats fully sik bro, a pimp car like that needs to be redlined as often as possible when u get the chance, not driven like a nanny! Thats what skylines r made for bro, RBs are made for that n flames n banging are perfectly normal....

If you hold it on the red-zone for like 15-20secs while driving n shifting every couple days or so, you will have a very healthy n clean engine as that will suck all the shit n carbon build-up out of your engine as some dude mentioned above.

yeah limiter bashing is completely fine . . I used to do it all the time . . . Well Atleast until something unrelated killed my oil pump . . But as i say , that was absolutely nothing to do with limiter .

Oh yeah and some chikos and most cops give mad respect for limiter bashing and flames.

I suggest you read up on rb engines and valve bashing it hmm wonder why they call it valve bouncing?

Redline/limiter /= valve bounce.

I used to hit the limiter often in my 33. No harm done.

I wouldn't suggest holding it on the limiter, but flicking it every now and then won't be too much of an issue.

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
    • Temu raptor, lol. At least the owner isn't your typical ranger danger lot
