Interesting... i did my one 300+ km per hr on GTR32 with few mods on the engine on it. Will like to try more in future :P

Is that using the stock speedo as your reference?

If so, its probably cloer to 250km/h the speedo would be out that far. ;)

R32 GTR....270 stock......Doubt it.

I reckon 240 would be a more realistic.....mines modified (315hp@wheels) and I'd rate its top speed realistically in the region of 240-250kmh.

Wheels mag tested a standard R32 GT-R at Lang Lang back in the early 90's, along with other cars, for the Top Speed Shootout. I recall the Holden engineers (who use the proving ground) said that tyre scrub around the curved track will cause a reduction of about 3-4% in top speeds.

The F40 there on the day could only manage 299km/h (they have been tested to 324km/h in a straight line), the GT-R 245 clicks. Factoring in that the day was very hot (obviously bad for the turbo cars), you would have to assume that the % speed loss for the GT-R and the F40 would be the same, so 245 X 1.08 = 262km/h

But, meh- who really cares.

I really doubt the speedo is more than 10% out probably more like 5%

If u can do the math thats no where near 250km/hr if the speedo is reading 300!

enjoy

Really who cares...Apart from the academics and bench racing aspects. Tuners use the 300kmh deal as a selling point or as "proof" of the potency of their tunes/part/philosophy/t-shirt - Top Secret, Mines. Same for vehicle manufacturers...Mclaren, Ferrari, RUF "its a supercar" Meh. It makes great youtube etc but its serious sh1t and these guys put big bucks into their experiments before trying the 300 "barrier"

My concern would be the effects of a component failure at 180mph+ it all happens pretty quick and you wouldnt have enough time to react..unless your a pro.

I've driven some fast and quick cars and I dont see the attraction of high speeds in an uncontrolled, non competitive environment, I guess i dont get it :D

Bah...I still say the realistic top speed of a stock R32 GTR is 240kmh...to quote anything else involves to much speculation about perfect world scenarios.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
