I worked out the theoretical top speed of an R33 manual is 294km hr

This is how i did it.

Put into 5th

1500RPM = 52kmh

2000RPM = 74kmh

2500RPM = 96kmh

Then i guessed the gap is 22kmh per 500RPM in 5th, so i worked out that at 7000RPM, speed is 294kmh. Have no idea if this is correct thou!

What colour and model was it? I might know him as I used to be a Honda Integra Type R freak.

Pushead... you used to be scared to drag me:)

They only make 141-147kw at the motor... but they shouldn't beat you in a drag. Watch out for the really done up ones, I know a couple that will take us slightly modded skylines anyday.

not the one with all the poxy colour schemed yellow crap on it? is that the one ur thinking of shiro?  

i do remember some wanker in a blue mondeo with yellow crap on it trying to race me but he got his ass handed to him on a plate with 2 passengers i was dropping off at the casino.

I am not sure about that yellow thing, but I have seen the sky-blue Mondeo, with a very loud exhaust. He was always in the South Yarra - Doncaster route and always giving the car a hrad time. I'd be on strike if I am the engine... Hehehe...

White Ozspec with black rims?  Doesn't matter...  

The Type-R owners up there are very into there cars just like us with our Skylines.

Anyways, I wanna see what this Mondeo can do.. might cruise by Monash today as I took a day off work.

That car sounds really familiar... I knew a few Asian guys with quick Type Rs... The two of them are already left for good...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • 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?
