Hey guys hoping someone can give me some very helpfull info I'm looking at a r32 gtst on the weekend however I was wondering what rpm they sit on at 110 as I drive 30 mins up the highway every day for work.and was wondering if they could comfortably sit at 110 without causing premature wear.

Thanks

Shit, you guys have it rough and need to maintain your skylines a bit more.

I can get 45 mins easy before any permanent damage occurs.

However, this one time I tried 50 mins but my laptop alerted me that there would be damage to my manifold so me being the idiot I am, told it to "Shut Up!!" and slammed the screen down. Within seconds, the floorboard to my car fell off. Which was such a pain in the ass, cos I almost had the bald dude I was racing :(

It could be interesting question. The usual RPM that an engine operates is only 1 factor in its longevity. My first motorcycle spent a good 80k kms above 10k rpm (250cc 4 cyl), and on uphill highways I would have to cruise at 13k rpm. The engine showed no signs of a worn out motor when I sold it.

I have driven many kms in new economy cars and I have concerns about some of the GM korean made motors. The straight 6 motor found in the epica seemed to have issues with oil pooling and flooding in the head with extended rpms over 3k.

It could be, but it's not. We're talking about a Japanese built car...they have 100km/h freeways too. Even if there's a scientific basis to support it, it's going to be a negligible at best - thus troll answers. There's more wear in engine start up and turn off than there is in a running engine.

So it's like RB overoiling issues only 20 years later and 5k rpm earlier?

I put a Commodore 3.8 engine in my 33...now seeing regular stints of up to 1 hour continuous running - minimal wear.

Put an ls1 in it, ive seen over an hour and the floor pan was only just starting to fall out at that...

It depends what type of porting you have in your 32.

A healthy bridgeport will see good consistent driving at speeds 108-112 but a more "street styled" extend port will be struggling doing half hour stints on the freeway, best to stay in the left lane doing no more then 105 km/h - so leave 5 minutes early!

:rofl: Hank you idiot...if he was asking about rotors his concerns would actually be warranted . :rofl:

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
