I dunno if i was driving fast or flying low!




















OK, ok! I was just playing with my gauges while putting my LEDs in!

 

So this thread has a point?

 

it was just a joke. no need to get mad. jeez

 

You have a VG, you'd run out of gas before reaching that speed.

 

not to menton the engine and trans would explode.

 

Then why is mine still running great?

VG can't rev that high. I have hit rev limiter in neutral as verification. 6250 is the cutoff.

 

did u get my pm alex?

 

Yea replied.

~Alex

 

those pics are ve arent they, vg guages are 125 or is that just under 92. and vgs have rev limiters? cause i have got mine to 7.15 but not intentionally

 

ive been faster

 

ve cluster swap

 

were not talkin about when you accidently drop it into second instead of fourth.

 

3rd gen maxima 89-94
1st series 89-91
GXE white with white block lettering 125mph
SE white with translucent block lettering 125mph

2nd series 92-94
GXE black with white italic serif lettering 125mph
SE white with translucent block lettering 145mph

 

Which Ive done
3 times in a row....
Im an awesome driver

heh I've only done a 5-2 once on accident. Never on purpose. I was meaning to go into 4th to slow down a little while coasting at ~50mph but it was only my 2nd time ever driving a manual, and my first time ever driving that particular kind of car (manual or automatic) and I pulled the shifter over and back and wheAAAAAAA. Oops. No tach but I don't imagine it was higher than 4500-5000RPM to do 50mph in 2nd

 

nice job overheating the motor

 

An auto would be going like 180 at redline

 

not my car. it was a budget cheapo used car lot's car. I almost bouht the thing too. That was about a month before I joined the org. And the Org is why I still own a Maxima.

edit: and by a month, i mean 3 months

 

with load it's a lot closer to 7000 otherwise when i wouldn't be able to do 75mph in 2nd at 6500.

and no it wouldn't run out of gas or explode getting there my 87 took a half a inch past 125 covering the 2nd number on the right trip meter and averaged 120 for over 60 miles and didn't even get warm plus had enough gas to get back home, starting with around a half of a tank.

why you got to pick on the VG if they couldn't take a beating then i don't think nissan wouldn't have used them for like 20 some years and put them in so many differnt models now if it was a motor that was used just for a few years like the VE i would understand a bit more.

 

I highly doubt that, our tachs are very inaccurate. Ive hit redline in 2/3 in my max a few times and its definitely about 6200. And Ive dyno'd in 4th and it stopped at 6200. And my car is a 5 speed conversion with an auto ecu. IF an auto could go to 7K stock then my car could have. Though its pointless after 5700 as theres no power to be made.

maybe your 2nd gen is different... I haven't seen engine specs for the particular edition of the engine used in a 2nd gen max. Not all VG30Es are created equal. Basically the same but there are some differences.

 

yea my 85 should have a A or B block in it, but my 87 should have had a W and so should my 89 and the 89 has seen cut out a few times and it was around 7000 i think (to busy watching the road most times). btw all are 5sp SE

 

honestly asking for trouble on anything past 6K don't ya think? Especially if your free spinning.

 

No they are safe up to 7K all stock or so Ive read on some z31 sites. They just wont make ANY power there stock.

~Alex

 

yep i was wrong. i hardly ever take my car to cut off but i did last night just to see where it was, normaly i shift around 6000 (drive by sound and feel) but yea it shut down at 6500 (what my tach read) so the times that it hit close to 7000 could be needle bounce when i shift or somthing. sorry for being a noob.

 

the RPM could spike when you push the clutch before the ECU has a chance to react and limit the RPM.. thus 7000 briefly.
