Clio rev limiter



  Nissan 350Z
On my way home tonight, I noticed the car limiting my revs to less than 7000. I've read the other posts about the car not being warmed up... But.... you'd think after 9 miles of motorway speeds at 75 mph in 7 deg celcius temperatures that the oil would be warmed up by now??? How long does the engine take to warm up in these things? I'd of expected a car to be warmed up after 9 miles of 75+ mph!!!

at 75 its only doing around what 3500ish rpm. wont heat up that quickly and can take a good 15 - 20 minutes to heat up depending. And you dont wanna be ragging it before then :/

Crikey, I had no idea they took that long to warm up... this is why when i got it i was disappointed it didnt tell you somewhere the oil temp - even my 15 year old Golf GTI tells you this!

Nevertheless that would have been fully up to temperature well within the time of that journey.
 
its a bit of a bummer really. ive been caught out thinking it should be warm, then having a blast only to bounce off the limiter.

damn french
