I find 3500 to 4K to be my normal driving and 7k to be spirited. Very rarely do I push more than that. With Uprev set to 7800, it can bounce off of 8K easily, not so sure about safely.

The Conti-series GS Nissan Motorsport race engines run to ~8800rpm, the GT4 series engines built in the UK run 9000+. IES in the UK will build you a screamer that runs to 10,000 but engine-life is "short".

The key is a dry-sump oil system (or NISMO oil-pump for the VQ if remaining wet-sump), otherwise the OEM oil-pump gears sh1t themselves at sustained running over 7500rpm which turns the engine to toast.

Since I like the sound of my engine 4 - 5K is about normal. I also get 12-13 MPG.

Yeah, I do that too. Actually I'll even wind it out to 6-7k if I'm merging or whatever... Needless to say, I'm always amazed at how much my fuel range increases when I go on long, boring highway trips.

Oh I wind it out too. How could we not.

I too am surprised what MPG a steady pace in 6th gear produces.
