my r33 gtst cuts out at 190, thats the quickest ive been in it. i got pulled over coming back from Qld, i was clocked at 189km. when i drove to Qld and back i sat on about 160-180 and she purred like a kitten, had no probs overtaking anybody. the quikest ive driven was in my old car which was a 88honda prelude and i took that to 245km coming back from canberra driving half in the overtaking lane and half in the shoulder because sunday freeway drivers pull out without indicating, ive also did 240 in the eastern distributer when they first opened it in my dads mates porshe911 rs carrera, its fun at the time, but i try not 2 do it, very dangerous, ive once had to slam the brakes on my skyline at 180 and then u think is it worth it, not only that when i bought my skyline i had 12 points, ive managed to loose 25points, a hell of a long time of the road

Rev limiter in my R31 GTSII is 6250rpm, I've hit this on numerous occasions in 5th.....works out to 229.6km/h

My old SR20DET Bluebird was side by side with mates Yamaha 750 motorbike at 240km/h+ (Hit just over 180kmh by end of qtr mile)

Mid 12's are the fastest I have achieved so far.

Acceleration beats top speed for a rush anyday :rolleyes:

WOW! talk about thread from the dead!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
