Old fart? mate I'm 41 and that in anyone's language is an old fart :)

Back on topic. I have had the pleasure of the 300kmh ride. 1000hp Supra on Calder raceway.

LOL even old Bob launched it off the line, but backed off. A great day I'll always remember ...

How long did it take to get to that speed? Was it pretty much full throttle the whole way? Any cars overtake you? :)

Well I was cruising around 200-220 most of the time unless somone was in front of me. And then it took what felt like about 2kms from there with my foot flat to the floor to get up around that speed. I reckon to get it up to its max, which is 305, you would need a fair bit of space. However 0-100 4.7 and 0-200 is 16 sec and takes around 600m at a guess, and with lanch contoll I believe its even quicker. Officially I think its 0-100 in 4.1sec with lanch controll. That was insane.

And no cars overtook us at all. THere were a quite a few that were cruising round 200, but we didnt see any super cars out that night except for going the opposite direction. There are some amazing cars on the streets of berlin though. Ferrari 599gtb, Mclaren SLR, audi R8 v10, cl63 amg, 911 turbos everywhere........to name just a few you will see down the main drag of Mitte.

Yeh, i gota do this...

ppl dont understand how crazy that road really is, i watch a tv program on it, and its amazing the technology that is used to make this road operational. Its the safest road in the world... btw

i still think going 230 on aussie roads is fast tho... bmw 335 ftw!

    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
