So i was driving down the highway and just make a right at a stop light, of course im at 1st gear then rev up to around 6500 rpms then shift to 2nd this time i rev up to around 7000-7300 rpms and the engine seemed to stall for a split second? this was the first time i decided to get around the 7000 rpms section, im not sure if it was an rev limiter but the engine stopped and i quickly shift to 3rd

i have a 2004 350z, roadster

the car feels different after that happened, well maybe its my imagination haha the mind is a pretty crazy thing, but takes a bit more [i think] for 2nd gear to reach the 5000 rpms.

has this happened to you guys by revving that high?

thanks !

With your rev limiter set at 6800 how did you ever hit 7300 rpm?

ilikesube

thats why im asking

i read that the revs reach 6800 only, but ir eached 7000ish rpms and the engine stalled or turned off for a second and i shifted to 3rd

has anything like this happened to you? engine can get damaged?

Sounds like whoever you bought it off of might have had it flashed. Would of switched the rev limiter around where you're r talking about the "engine shutting off."

ilikesube

maybe, the car was totalled and rebuilt, and the guy sold it to me with a nismo exhaust, fujita intake, g35 volks , and other things , but i have no idea if the ECU was flashed, anyways does it matter if the rev limiter bounce off? sorry english not my first language im from brazil hehe

in my 06 G the rev limiter allowed it to rev 2-3 hundred over redline, sounds like the same thing. big woop, u wanna fight about it?

Be careful at 7,000 RPM plus. You will go into the 4th dimension and we may never get you back.
