a5h: a standard r33 gts-t does 0-100km/h in 6.18 & 14.4 in 0-400m.

if you take out the speed limiter, a standard r33 gts-t (rb25det motor) should pull approx 230km/h top speed.

if you add aftermarket exhaust off the turbo and an aftermarket air filter your times should be approx 5.8-5.9 for 0-100km/h and 14.0-14.1 in 0-400m.

A standard GTR, if it would be r32,r33 or r34 does approx 12.9-13.2 in 0-400m and a top speed of approx 260-280km/h i beleive (with the speed limiter removed)

my car isn't limted to 180 it stops at 194!!!! and no my speedo isn't out i've checked that

Im not sure if my speedo is out but mine goes way past the 180km/h pin as well, atleast 190km/h (looks to be the same distance past the 180km/h as wher ethe 190km/h mark would be).

Thats pretty much flat in 4th and if you drop it back to about 175km/h and throw it in 5th it has just as much punch and wants to keep going.

I checked this out last thur. 7,200 in 4th (rev limit) is 198km/h. confirmed on my gps.

no sign of speed limit :D, 5th doesn't pull that hard at those speeds but I've done at least 215 without speed limiter.

stock except for 9psi boost.

i have a kakimoto ss exhaust. dump pipe, pod filter and running 11 psi of boost.

on the apexi rsm with g-force meter it records my 0-100 as 5.3 seconds. 1/4 as 13.5 and my top speed is 257 (the apexi rsm kept that) (i wasnt daring to take eyes off road). i set my speedo with a gps so it should be spot on.

no that would be a really technical way of doing it.

because the car has after market wheels and white dials in the cluster the speedo was over 10 kmh out. when i got the apexi rsm it allows me to fix this. so first up i sat on 60 kmh and corrected then checked at 100 and last off 150.

me smart like tractor

Mine is exactly the same in terms of pin position, looks to be doing 190km/h.

at your speed of said 190.... do you remember what's the engine rpm at 4th gear and 5th gear?????

I didnt look at the tacho on my first go when it hit the limiter [around 190 mark], but decided to do it again just to check rpm. Mine was in the area of 5,000rpm in 5th gear and still wanted to pull hard...until it hits the limiter of course...I can feel there is plenty more there, with the speed cut I think mine would get up around the 250 mark but the road / track would have to be very flat and long for me to try...felt comfortable at 180 / 190 :D

Hi Everyone,

I think you will find, the people who are hitting around 190 ish with the speed limiter are really only hitting about 180.. (if you have aftermarket wheels this will put it out) plus cars are always saying higher speeds than you are actually doing (factory cars)..

Take for instance some of the new porche's One said it was doing 320 (or something like that) but on the radar it was only doing 294kph... (this was out of a motor PCOTY magazine a few years back).

I though the Skyline in stockish form with out the speed limiter would get close to 240-250kph.

Well thats my 2 cents worth and feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Regards

Rob

if u have wider wheels it will be out... but if the rolling diameter is the same should be fine.

Remember we are driivng jap cars - their speedos might actually be more acurate :)

Yeah i reckon max 240km/hr or so.. but remember kids: don't do this at home :D coz yeah, on a road its not safe.. if u kill yourself fine, but if you lose it and kill somebody else i'll hate you for eternity.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
