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.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
