Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Where does the stock 200sx s14 (sr20) rev limiter come in?
Does anyone have a left front window for the S14?

mmm good Q... I actually havn't pushed my car to the limiter...

Not speed limiter, rev limiter.
I drove a stock S14 today, and in 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear it limited at 4200rpm?
Is that normall?

hehe was talking about the rev limiter

well mine didn't hit the limiter and it was sitting at about 6500-7000rpm

oh sorry...

I wander why this one limits so low?
What do the front side windows go for(passenger door)?

yeah thats kinda strange. and you say it was stock?

on the window... really not sure. sorry

yip, stock. only 110000 km's. car still very nice. Want to buy it, but it's a bit weird with the limiter...

i think if you fit the new window the limiter problem will be sorted...this sometimes happens that the ability to rev goes out the window...

tried pg glass or someone like that - i am sure they can even cut the glass for you... should be less than R1000 i think

seriously on the limiting - running after market ecu or stock management?
(i know you said stock - just checking on ecu as well)

chances of using a different stock management/at least someone to look at the timing and fueling maps

I also think the window would sort the rev limit problem. Lol

Seriously though if its knocking when it comes into boost it could pull back the timing.

stock limiter around 6950, definitely not normal, sounds like 1 or 2 coilpacks are shot.

hmmm, that sounds like it could be the problem. just spoke to the guy, he says he might have the wrong spark plugs in. Could it be?
What is the correct plug?

use ngk bcpr7es gap to 0.7mm or if thats too cold, go one hotter. should be fine tho.

hey was this the S14 on Johannesburg gumtree for like 50k ?
white with a set of rims !!

if so i think its sold,

the stock ecu is prolly in limp mode, in which case it wont let the engine rev over about 4000 rpm.. meaning something vital is screwed, for example airflow meter ect.

i might be wrong though, dont know the s14 ecu that well ..

edit : i see in the fsm that the limp mode max revs is actually 2400rpm.. but it might still be handy to check for error codes.

That s14 has been in an accident before and completely resprayed, and very badly,the gaps are out and the colour is not the original pearl white.
Engine bay is very rough , the mileage is also suspect.
Dont think its worth more than R40 000.
So if anyone from far away is interested think twice before making a long trip to see it you will be disappointed.
