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:

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
