ok guys i got my girlfriends sister and she thinks that the more you rev the car the better it is for it. becuase you should be working the engine?

ok she drives a lil honda civic.

most cars these days are not maid to be reving at 3000 rmp to 3500 rpm

now there is proberly nothing wrong with doing this

but doing this on every gear every day..

i see it as eventually not damaing the engine but wearing it out and the life of the einge will decreease..

no guys dont get me wrong we are talking about normal cars here

also applies to if you got a sports car eg skyline and rev the **** out of it every day your ganna tell me its ganna last as long as some one not reving it as much

Let me know what ya think fellas

Thanks =)

Cheers

I would think that every rev is doing you damage.

Every engine is made to rev.

My point, every time an engine runs it is wearing out. It is a simply case of friction. The faster an engine revs the hotter it runs the more friction that is created and the faster an engine will wear. You cant relly say that high revs are doing damage, thats what engines do, but it is wearing out quicker than if your didnt rev the engine hard.

Highly modified engines are designed to rev higher, they are designed to opperate more eficently at higher revs, but still the longevity of the motor is sacrificed. Look at F1 engines. One race and they need to be rebuilt.

Every rev is doing you dammage.

Simply, a motor that reves low or is not under much strain is going to last longer than an engine that is reved hard, eg. 250cc generator motor compared to a 250cc motor bike.

However, engines do need a good punt every now and then to circulate the oils and get rid of carbon and oil build up.

In other word I dont relly know what the hell im talking about but it sound good. You decide :)

DUDE!!! some crazy shiznit happens at the parties in altona! we were leaving one party and seen one of those big black eyed aliens with a hoody on.. omfg i have never been so paranoid on the way home.. it was one of the most WRONG things you should see when starting to feel seedy..

I thik Eric is onto something. It depends on how you treat it, that means how you maintain it as well as how you drive it.

A bit of a squirt now and then on a well maintained car is not really going to hurt it.

Thrashing the crap out of it with the oil level below the end of the dipstick is not going to be a good thing.

Taxis and interstate trucks do huge mileages, and get driven pretty hard as well. The driver, often, is not the owner. But they do get regular service though, and last a very long time between rebuilds.

The reason taxi engines last so long is that they rarely cool down. Cold starts are the worst enemy of any engine, and is the time when most of the damage is done.

It doesn't hurt to rev an engine every now and then. I put a L20ET into my 240Z in 1989, and never had to touch it (bar a couple of dead welsh plugs) since. And it got plenty of canings in its lifetime. Its being lined up to be transplanted into a R30 hatch, and it will have a RB20DET turbo hanging off the side, not that restrictive POS it come out of the factory with.

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
