It was close!!

[pushead]

Damn, just had a run with a ford mondao and it nearly beat me.. gee's, didn't know they are that fast!.. anyway , my R33 is a stockie.. just wanna know had anyone else had similar experiences?

[doxximus]

well i hit 190 today so i dont know if the speed cut has been lifted from my car or something is wrong ll

[pushead]

190 man.. i went 160 last night and my wheel was shaking badlyyyy.. you crazy man

[akeenan]

a ford mondao? i had a jeep cheroke(??) drag me the other day oh and some mitsubishi 4wd? both werent happy, i was like...i dont think so!!!! ...............>

[pushead]

well the ford mondao came really close it was quite fast.. i couldn't loose it.. damn it was embarassing... damn "Family Cars" wanna drag.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

sorry but that is damn funny

[sniffy]

yea i think they are kinda light

and dox, try faster than 190...i know of someone who's car cut out at about 190:D

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"

[inark]

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.

[ProjectRSR]

oh yeah... i remember the popping, but i was too busy listening to the engine rev out, actually surprised me a bit, i was thinkin; why the.... nopower...hehe.

200 on a track aye?... mmm... lotsa braking... might have a problem there. no abs.

[Dr_Drift]

Some speedo's or speed sensors are out and the speed cut may not cut till the equivalent of 200 on the dial....

[inark]

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! nice one... and yes the boost has been wound back down L)

[ProjectRSR]

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.

[inark]

hehe when i first got my car the first thing i wanted to do was hit the limiter and it hit right on the 180 mark... might test its reliability on the next dyno run

[ProjectRSR]

The speed sensor is in the front wheels isn't it?

I thought i remembered taking it out when changing clutches... i'm prob disillusioned tho... usually happens bout this time...hehe.

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

[ProjectRSR]

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.

Our dyno can hit 300 on the rollers if anyone would like a top speed run??
