Gtr Top Speed

[dan_the_man]

who in their right mind would want to drive at 300km/h or is it just brag factor?

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

[dan_the_man]

lol mental. video it next time

[PHATR32]

why hit 300k? because you can. and cause the speedo says so, otherwise its a waste.

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.

The GTRs that were sent to the UK - the 33 and 34s, are believed to reach about 250 or there abouts in stock form. Any car in japan is 180 or less.

why would one need to have the capability to get to 300?

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

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.
