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.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
