Wouldn't it have alot to do with the gearbox and diff ratio's not the amount of mods or power you are making?

My understanding was that more power would just make you get there faster but you still come to a halt when you run out of gearing (provided you have enough power to push the car to the end of the gearing).

I reckon about 210 215 in my n/a pos

I'd second that, maybe actually a bit quicker.

I've had mine waaaay off the clock a couple of times. considering its doing 2500 RPM at 110 in top, then wound out at 6000rpm what would that be?On the numbers thats 264kmh, but I reckon given (a complete lack of) aerodynamics, clutch slip, tyre flex etc etc, its probably around 230-35, maybe a bit less. Could be wrong. and still pulling, I might add, but I buttoned off.

Irresponsible and wrong to do for sure, but I was on my own, no traffic round, 30+ kms from civilization.

Not bad for an old n/a pos....RB20DET would make for some fun...

cheers,

Hi Mick ,there is a hell of a big difference between 305 kph and 328 kmh I am not doubting over 300 but 328 mmmmmmmm I wonder.

Hands up anyone who can get over 300 kph out of there skyline,someone may just get a world record here lol.

GTR-700: Whilst still in its road legal trim, it exceeded 320 km/h - I have no real idea as to exactly how fast it was going, but I backed off at 8,100rpm in 5th gear (standard gearbox and diffs) using 18" (265/40) tyres. Do the math.

WARIO: 282 km/h - exactly... :D

Mario.

Yeah he was saying that he recons he would have got 310 if they had let him have another go. Still awsome to see the GTR at the top in such company. It is a nice car. Would have been great if Ben was able ot have taken his on the day.

Ben will get his chance - Tony's was second best choice for now I guess.

I still have my limiter on the R32 but my previous car was a VS v8 5 speed 3.5" exhaust chip etc etc.

I had that off the clock sitting just on 5500rpm. I remember at the time I worked it out that 5500rpm was around 250km/h.

From 5000rpm it used to take a little while to get to 5500rpm.

The spedo used to go up to 220km/h and it was still pulling strong as it used cruised past it.

The 32 is quicker though, it is noticible in third especially.

~230km/hr (on estimate of back aroundness).. with bit more to go...

Thing is not sure whether the GTS-T's are able to go too much past 250km/hr. I mean if you wanted to build one that went 300km/hr I am sure you could, but you'd have to stuff around with the gearbox and diff ratios - not something you'd bother doing unless you were trying to set a world record.

Speaking of world records, I believe JUN still holds that for a "semi" street car with their Supra... 401km/hr. They also hold the record for an R33 as well (383km/hr)

Amazing how many of us have our own test tracks though isn't it?? ;)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
