Top Speed Record On A Modified Gtr?

[Truffles]

First of all: f**kin' LOL at the idiot thinking 256km/h is even relevant to 400km/hm. You realise 256km/h is nearly as close to 100km/h as opposed to 400km/h.

Also, to all the people saying "put a few hundred thousand/million into a skyline and it will do 400km/h easy". Pull the other one. The Bugatti veyron costs $2.5million, takes $4million to produce one unit and that's not including the countless millions designing and testing the car.

When talking 300km/h+ aero is more relevant then power output. At 300km/h the skyline has similar aerodynamic properties to that of a brick.

if you put a few hundred thousand into a skyline it should get to 400kmh. comparing the cost of the veyron to making a skyline do 400kmh is as silly as comparing 250kmh to 400kmh. the reason being that bugatti had to do a lot of work to make a car that will do 400kmh but pass emissions laws and all that sort of crap. they also designed the car from scratch, where as with an existing car you build a big engine and spend a bit of money on tweaking the aero. i doubt you'd get an RB powered skyline to do it though. blown v8 dropped into one you would, but not a small, turbo 6.

why not? it might only be able to do it once before it blows up but im sure it could still be done

Granted you could, but as you said, the Bugatti does it legally and with all bells and whistles attatched.

At the end of the day it's just a redundant pissing contest. If anyone has seen the episodes of top gear where they max the veyron out, you'll see how awfully inpractical it is.

Jun competed at Bonneville Salt Flats some years ago with their signature yellow R33 GTR.

But nothing beats the Veilside R32 GTR. Fastest street legal gtr i have ever seen. 0-186mph (299.33km/h) in 13.72 secs.

With significant weight reduction, aero and mods I cant see why it couldnt be possible to achieve stupidly high speeds

weight reduction isn't that important in top speed equations, otherwise they would've made the veryon lighter than it is. light weight is more important for fast acceleration, but for top speed aero and power are the most important things.

the issue with the skyline is the general aero is pretty poor. there is a limit to how much you can alter it without drastically altering the car (such as chopping the roof, etc).

i say we all sort this out once and for all, soo many of us are interested in this, how bout we all throw in all our money and be decide to build a skyline that can hit 400kmh :D it can be the SAU 400 edition skyline

[Galois]

Mad had it right before with the couple of thousand horsepower dragster engine.

There's probably not a huge amount you can do aero wise, maybe a cleaver bonnet and front bar to more efficiently direct air around the windscreen. But it will mostly come down to power. What's amazing is that the veyron can do it with ONLY 1000hp, at the fly too!! So for a skyline, not built aerodynamically for such ridiculous feats, you'd be looking at what, 2000hp at the wheels (maybe even more). With enough power you can do whatever speed you like.

So maybe an rb26 revving to 20k rpm or more etc, with custom made turbos etc... It's not that it can't be done, it's more why on earth you'd waste so much money trying.

The numbers above are mainly just to emphasise how difficult the task is to achieve. Next someone will ask how hard it'll be to get to 450, then 500 km/h. The answer is exponentially harder and more expensive.

just build a 26/30 that revs to 16 With triple T51R SPLs.

Shilbyritemate.

[Marlin]

As speed doubles, the amount of power required quadruples. That is a fact.

So, if it needs 50KW to do 100klm/h (close to realistic), it will need 200KW for 200klm/h.

So, for 400 klm/h it would need 800KW.

Of course this is assuming that the gearing could accomodate it and that the car didn't literally fly apart or take off..... both scenarios are extremely likely.

I'll leave you with that kids.

A better idea would be to have 6 small sized turbos, one for each cylinder as this is the most efficient configuration.

But once we take our hands off our penises for more then 4 seconds we see that Marlin is right, why is this thread still going ?

[045HOW]

Yeah this is a realllllly bad thread.
