Isn't the low power the speed limiter?

Anyway, jap cars are limited to 180, but go try for yourself and report back

Hahaha

Yeah I went past 180 yesterday, but it did limit at around 200km/h (my mate was doing roughly the same speed). Would it be possible that I have an aftermarket ecu? I'm the first owner in Aus and the car has been modified a fair bit

Supposedly... but in reality they don't actually limit to that speed quite often. (at least that was the case back in the 90's)

My old 33 was limited at 192 kph.

I recall reading about numerous types of jap cars 'limited' to 180, but when people actually bought and tested them they exceeded 180.

Possible but highly unlikely. Remove the passenger side kick panel and have a look at the ECU to find out!

This. How much straight road do you need to get to 180+? The quickest I've been in mine is only 150 and even that took like 700m of dead empty highway.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
