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.

    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
    • Aside from the fact it is likely fuel related if it is black, the symptoms otherwise sound like worn valve stem seals. Oil gets past the worn seals when the engine is off and burns when the engine starts. If it happens on deceleration while driving (puffs of white smoke) that is another valve stem seal symptom because oil gets sucked form the head into the combustion chamber under vacuum with the throttle closed. They can be replaced in the car if you have some way to keep the valves closed while working (eg compressed air into cylinders) but is much easier with head off.
    • Alright, fair enough. Expected as much. Possibly, yes. However the kit is apparently not including every single hose and it is out of stock too.
