This was something I was considering for a long while. Things start to get rough at the 250 mark, braking distances multiply and its hard to tell the difference once your above 200. I advise caution... To the wind.

I dare say 3.9s out of the auto S13 might not cut the mustard. I am fairly sure you can get a touch under 3.7s in an S14 5MT, should be able to swap the crown and pinion over to our setups and retain our half shafts.

Me + this thread = epic lulz.

Hmm does the PFC controller really show speeds that high?

I remember when i went to the drags, i pulled a 112mph trap speed, but kept my foot buried for a bit afterwards, so the needle was well past 180, and the PFC only said a max of 179 :)

If someone organises a top speed run and it's not on salt flats (corrosion), I'm in.

You mean you want someone to do it with or your expecting someone to set this up legally? LOL

Either way Ill be in for both in due time.

Standing mile sounds like it would be a great fun event alright.

As was already said... R34 getrag and diff is the go. It will hold up to 800hp in a high speed sort of environment so long as your not doing big launches with semi slicks.

Meanwhile... on the autobarns in germany.

Done 312km/h... over 8k. R32GTR with 400rwkw and a dog box. Got there pretty quick!

Steve,

I was speaking to a few friends about doing this as an event, like the standing mile they have in the states.

We should get together and suss out some particulars.

I attended quite a few standing mile events in Florida over the last few years... There are allways a HUGE variety of cars and bikes turn up. I helped out on a record breaking 252+mph TT GT40 with nitrous.

The events are great!

It's a very easy going event, no one gets tooooo serious. It's just good fun. It's relativly easy on the vehicles, there's no crazy outlay for brakes or 16 pairs of tyres and it's technical enough to keep it interesting.

I'd like to see a 'cannonball run' standing mile event out in central Aus.

Cheers

Justin

i'm not sure if i still have it, but i used to have a motor magazine where they were at avalon airport or whatever it's called in victoria and they were testing out the top speed of a few cars. a lambo got to around 300kmh. they had some other exotics arranged but the person who was supposed to organise them wasn't able to deliver but they did have a 350kw r33 gtr turn up. test driver got it to close to 300kmh showing the car a small amount of mechanical sympathy. then the owner got in and managed to crack 300kmh.

if doing this on a public road you would want to make sure that the road is in very good condition and nice and smooth. bumps that feel like nothing at 100kmh will feel a lot bigger at 3 times that speed.

*wanders off to look through magazines for the article.

epic win I don't come read this for a few days and it's all about cops and robbers :D

hypothetically, as I'm a scientist :) *adjust labs coat* I may have some lovely nice stretches of smooth road far enough out of the way to be able to test top end speeds. Plus I just have to do it cuz this little skyline is just gunna!

yeh but getrag boxes cost a little too much for may taste (8k-10k correct?) and it's to be a 'streetable' car <-- under the impression getrag boxes are race application. Unless I can sell my current box (under 100k on it) for a decent amount but I'd need to retain the housing all the same...

but yesh, taller ratio sounds like the go, but I always wonder getting a s/h taller ratio diff is always suspect, as ya never know what sort of life it had before hand.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
