polishstorm, you are one lucky guy :uh-huh:

the magistrate must have been in a good mood :D

i can't believe you went that fast on the Parkway in the first place...that's scary stuff...with all those concrete walls in the middle...

the times I've done it have been out on a highway, where there's big wide roads and long straights you can see the end of.

Fastest was 230 in an S14 (very floaty, don't try it), but as for cut off - I hit 190klm on the straight at EC, and I originally thought I was hitting speed cut out, turned out to be the rev limit in fourth! Still not sure if/where the rev limit is (since 5th is no faster :D )

Keep in mind that speedos are up to 10% optimistic - so the 180 limit may still be there while the speedo reads 198!

Guest SVD001

to PJKJ..Yep I'm in ipy all right..:P Not a good thing but it'll do for now. Haven't been on any cruizes as yet. Only went to that Drift day out at Mt Cotton the other week. seeing as tho you live in Ipswich,, Have you seen that gorgeous silver R31 that's always parked outside of Kenard's Hire heading out of town??? It's got SKY89 or 89SKY plates on it. I'm keen to go in there one day and ask who owns it... I'd like to go on a mountain drive at some stage. Surely others would be up to it......

280 km/hr in a HJ Holden Ute! (Years ago)

Had 502ci Chev(8.2L), 5 spd Tremec, & 2.5:1 nine inch diff!

Got busted on freeway doing 160 at exactly 2000rpm in 5th -

so we worked out at 3500 it was doing roughly 280.

Crazy thing is it would of pulled to 4000 rpm in 5th, but I doubt

it would of stayed on the road at over 300 kays!!!

10.1 @ 133 mph in a HX Holden Ute! (also years ago)

Had 350 chev, powerglide,5.11 diff, & 32x14 slicks.Ran methanol.

Dinosaurs all gone now.(well almost-have commodore ute)

R34 GTR - 12.5 @ 114mph. Std exept for Power FC & Nismo Exhaust. Need to get 320 Km speedo 'cause it maxs out the std 180 km speedo well before 7000 rpm in 4th & I've had it doing

over that in 5th. Haven't really stretched it's legs in 6th yet!

*have now - does 285km & 12.1 @ 115mph*

R33 GTR - 10.7 @ 135mph (So far) at Drag Combat.

Looking forward to breaking past the 140 mph barrier.

It was doing around 8000 rpm in 4th over the line when it did

135mph (216 km/hr) so imagine 9000 rpm in 5th & 6th?

Has trust 6 speed. Will have to finalise last will & testament before attempting this! ( In Northern Territory of course)

*now 9.66 @ 148mph with Holinger 6 speed*

*now 9.50 @ 153mph but didnt back off till 265km according to datalogging - pity the track isn't longer.*

About 250, not absolutely sure it is hell scary at that speed. My mate in the back seat says it was 245-250. Ran out of gearing to go faster, engined pulled fairly happily all the out to this speed. This was driving between hometown and industrial town with excelent highways. That time was enough for me, won't do that again soon.

This is usually 4 hour drive. We cruised nearly all the way at about 180, anything above that my external wastgate was activated and was noisy and gave me the ****s. At one satge we had to stop (potty break), tried to catch up to cars that are allready going 150, not easy. Took nearly 15 minotes of 200 plus driving.

This road is well known for no cops, everyone speeds along it.

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
