Why 185 is a nice crusing speed :thumbsup: haha

But yeah what Ferni said is that I want to know "i think he means with standard gear / diff ratios, 5th gear, redlined (~7000rpm)?" Forget power just assume you had enough to get there!

From what i remember when i tried to figure it out myself i was doin 70 at 2000rpm and 110 at 3000rpm it seem you increase 40kph per 1000rpm (in fifth gear) from that at redline (7000rpm) theoretically you would be doin close to 270kph. i recon your gonna need a fair bit of power to get it there though.

Hey why not just try it for yourself go for a drive see the difference in speed for an increase 1000rpm then see how fast your going at a set rpm and add the difference you worked out earlier for every 1000rpm after that until you get to redline, that should give you a theoretical top speed. If that makes any sence.

man... i top out with the speed limiter at 185km/h in my GTT ... but i wont be doing that again. The car doesnt feel too good when it cuts out... and thats with the car stock as a rock... driving with no shoes .. just socks

yea yea.. i know its a poor attempt at rhyming

I know what you mean. It's a harsh cut out. Scared the crap out of me the first time it happened. I hit it almost everytime down the straight at Eastern Creek the other week. Only just though; car is pretty much stock at the moment.

I took mine to 7000 in 5th with a 4.3 diff. The speedo was obviously back at the zero but it's pretty easy to calculate.

If your doing 120km/h at 3500 rpm then your doing 240 at 7000. But, not many speedos are that acurate at 120km/h. especially when you change wheels, tyres, diffs etc.

Either way, if you get caught your F!@#$ed

Last week before i sold my GTT with HKS suspension... did 200km/h easily and i can fell that there is MORE HP in it.... 250km/h 70% sure that i can reach for my previous R34GTT... anyway

Below is the car i have drove over 200

stock honda civic 1.6 vtec can reach 220 km/h... max out

Stock Mercedes S280 = 220 kmh still have some room to go but i fell like it is flying

Stock UK spec sTT supra = 230 km/h ... easily i am sure it can reach 250KM/h

Basic mod MR2 Turbo= 245 KM/h almost Max out

Stock Alfa romeo 1.7 L = 200KM/H max out

basic mod BMW 328 = 240 almost MAX

Satria GTI = 230 KM/h almost MAX out...

Base on those car above i am sure you guys can judge out have fast can a GTT GO.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
