Hi everyone,

Recently on a long track, the Apexi AVC-R (EBC) fitted in my R34 GTT, clocked 302km/h as the top speed during the length of the Journey, i have an after market Nismo Meter which shows speeds upto 300Km/h but unfortunately i was lookin on the track and not the speedometer. Although I do remember shifting to the fifth gear cause the revs were upto 6.7 on the 4th gear (never had to floor car above 4th gear) and after shifting into 5th i was still pushing on the pedal.

As for other mods, the car has a Front Mount Intercooler, the Apexi EBC as listed above, full 3.5inch cat back exhaust and was running it on 0.76 Kg/cm2 Boost.

Do you guys think the AVC-R has recorded some false value? or is 302km/h a comfortable speed for the RB25DETT engine? the car is 1998 so the engine is not brand new?

Any expert opinion or comments guys? im confused?

whats your diff ratio, and tire size? work out your theoretical geared top speed

then you will need to find out your drag coefficient which isnt usually very accessible data unless you either

1. have a wind tunnel

2. find your actual top speed and have accurate power figures as well

ps. 302kmh is approx 187mph thats pretty fast for a standard skyline

two main components for calculating theoretical top speed

rolling resistance

drag due to air resistance

rolling resistance is fairly linear so easy to calculate

drag due to air resistance has a cube relationship to speed.

so the increase of 250kmh to 300kmh is a factor of 1.2

the power increase you need is the cube of this factor (1.2) = 1.728

using very average numbers for coefficient of friction, average combustion efficiency and average drivetrain losses, you need 408hp (flywheel hp) to reach 187mph. very rough numbers though but just to give you the scale of things.

Hmm interesting thread... *subscribing*

I hit 265km/hr on a pretty worked RB25 before... that was the reading off my F-CON Navigator (I only have a 180km/hr dash), and am not sure if its entirely accurate.

...not with a 3.6 diff

BTW Thelma & Louise didn't even reach that speed in the last few seconds in the T-Bird!

In reply to the post above,

the T-Bird after leaving the cliff will accelerate to the point of terminal velocity where the wind resistance balances out the gravitational pull.

The T-Bird's terminal velocity would be a maximum of 60m/sec = 135mph = 216Km/Hr >_<

speed limter? no mention of an aftermarket ecu?? and nothing about removing speed limiter.. so i assume max speed at 180... if not i don't think you'd get that speed on 0.76 Boost...

The speed limiter isn't in place and its an after market Nismo Speedometer so reads upto 320km/h and yes its calibrated!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
