Pushead, sounds like you need a wheel balance something shocking! I'm not trying to be a hero, but in my sil, i can go 180 no worries on stock suspension (in controlled environments of course!!! hahaha)

Take your car to a place like Bob Jane or Beaurepairs and get a wheel balance. Pretty sure stock suspension should be that bad!

Hey All....

What does it feel like when the speed limiter cuts in? Jus curious cause i've never felt it before.

I once felt the revs bounce off 5500 rpm in fifth and i thought that was the speed limiter.

I remember running against a near stock 180, and realizing that it was leaving me behind in 2nd gear. disappointing to say the least. My car is stock btw.

the pic is where i had the needle go the furtherest... which when i cut out the speedo in paint and rotate it so the lines continue works out to be about 220... got a little scarey after that on the rough part of the "track"

RSR - just feels like the engine cuts out hard and then it like staggers til it drops down then back up again... like the more u press down on the accelerator the less it goes. Makes a lot of popping noises too

btw this post has the pic as i will remember to attach it this time.

luckily mine was removed with ur ECU :) which i must say has done bloody well... i accidentally wound the boost up to 16psi and it only pinged when i was going over 5500RPM! :D nice one... and yes the boost has been wound back down L)

Not sure how reliable the speed sensors are, but last time i went thru one of those speed traps in Geelong it was rougly 7km/h off.

I'm guessing that they're usually 5km/h below the speedo reading. Reassuring to know that there's some buffer when driving past those speed cameras.

i wouldnt say that...my car is pretty accurate untill getting faster...then it increases the gap!

Yeh, was prob not the best way to test accuracy, hehehe, drivin under a bridge with a speed trap to find out the speed... I jus remember reading similar variances in speedo readings from other cars.

I think its motor mag? or whatever that has the actual speed at 100km/h and its usually slightly under.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
