Curiosity...I have 64K on the Max. Suppose I redlined every gear from here on in. Would that have a large impact on the life of my car (I'm sure). And WHAT are the NEGATIVE effects of doing this way too often. Would something give, wear out, break, or just straight up fail after a while?
Personally, I would love to redline every gear because VQ power is just, where it's at...but I love my baby too much to rip her around all the time. Thanks for any help...
P.S. I did my search and didn't find an answer to what I'm looking for.

 

no redlining your car is cool and its good for your car too, you should easily get 300000 miles out of it.

wheeeeeeeeeee!!!

 

n00b?

 

I got my maxima at 66K and I'm at 110K now... I drive it hard - but maintain it well and don't abuse it.. you should be fine as long as you treat it well and check your compression

 

no one will know until you try

 

take care of your car and it takes care of you.

 

its called sarcasm

 

I'm surprised nobody has replied commenting about how the redline is NOT where the VQ power is at, unless you have a VI...

 

Ya, if you want to shift af the optimum points instead of auditioning for F&F 2, use the best shiftpoints.

 

AUTOMAGIC BABY!

 

Redlining the car should not really hurt it if oil is good and other internals are in good order. There is a liiter ot prevent damage by revving too high. But as pointed out above after 6300 rpm or so its kind of pointless since you start to lose power. I used to shift 1 st 2nd and 3rd gear above 6000 rpm almost every shift (75K miles of this type of driving) but now that I have another faster toy, I drive it more civilized.
