whats redline on the 03 z???

[R350]

i just want to know because i didnt know it could be ajusted where the rev up light comes on. where is a good peak to keep it at? and whats the diff between the vq35de and the (rev up) one??

[gabezilla275]

Dude you should set the rev light at a place where you see fit. I have mine set to 6200 rpm so the second I see it blink I know I have just a little bit of time before it hits its 6500 rpm redline

Redline is 6600 IIRC. That rev light is just a ghetto shift light. Has nothing to do with your redline. I believe you can set it as high as 8500 rpm.

Like gabezilla said, set it where you want to be reminded to shift. I think mine is around 6500 rpm, but my rev-up has a 7k rpm redline.

Sorry. Nifty would be customizable shift points for each gear. An annoying blinkety blink is meh.

okay you win....hey at least we have a blinkety blink reminder

[Sentientbydesign]

You're right. Mine scared me when I first got the car. So did "REV". I thought it was a warning light.

While we're on the subject, may I have your engine? I'll give you mine. You won't notice the difference...

An annoying blinkety blink is BEAST.

Hows my grounding kit coming along?

maybe it is a pain.....I have to do double the work when servicing my airfilter

....I do lower the rev light to 5,000 sometimes in an effort to save gas and to refrain from driving too fast.

Just got the wire in over the weekend. I'll probably have your kit in the mail tomorrow or Wednesday

You're engine produces it's peak power at 6,200.

It can be set up to 8000 rpm.

For all of the "normal" (not RevUp, not HR) VQ35's it is.

o ok.

You can also get your ECU reflashed from Technosquare or AAM or RevUp.My 04 is AAM reflashed to 7300 this way.

But i try not to use it too much.

There is a reason the factory beefed up rods etc when they raised the redline on the revup motors.

Even so, many original Z33 VQ's have been running raised redlines this way, with no discernable ill effect.
