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!

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
