i have top speeded all my cars to date here is the list.

toyota corona 1980 wagon - 155kph. (4 cylinder starfire - 4 speed)

toyota corolla hatch 1985 - 165kph. (4 cylinder - five speed)

vl commodore sedan - 195-200kph. (rb30 - auto)

vr commodore sedan - 215kph. (v6 - 5 speed)

r33 skyline gts-t - 190kph - bloody limiter!!!!

the corona and the vl were the scariest and hairiest...

the starfire motor in the corona forever leaked oil from everywhere after this.

Mitsu Colt, 1.6ltr, auto - 160kph (knuckles white on steering wheel but still beat the dude in the gemini) - thanks to mum for loaning me the car for the night.

HZ Kingswood, 3.3ltr, auto - 120kph, flat to the boards and nothing left at all.

VC Commodore, 3.3ltr, 4sp manual, extractors + exhaust - 170kph but sounded more like 300kph.

Datsun 180B, 4sp manual, downdraft webber, extractors + exhaust - never took much notice of speed as too many other things were coming loose. Oh, and speedo cable broken for best part of 2 years.

R33 GTS25t Skyline, FMIC, 3" exhaust, 9psi, 165rwkw - 180-190kph down EC straight on speed cut ( 170 thru turn 1 if tyres haven't gone off )

Z.

Got roughly 125-130kph down straight on Wollongong Kart track :flamed: Had 180kph on *** intercoolor cover blew off!! So backed off and collected the bastard. (Don't litter on freeways-excess of $100.00 fine) :wassup:

edit:read my warnings on page 2 R31Nismoid

Well if we're talking other cars too, these are the more memorable ones:

VC Commodore, modded 202 + 5 speed: ~220km/h @ 6300rpm on dyno. Could only get around 140 from memory at Morgan Park as the front straight is so short, years ago before track was extended, but it saw a mind-numbing 170 iirc at QR. I took a while to wind up! It didn't like to stop or take corners that much either, but was fun and a good learning tool.

Mate's Subaru Sherpa: Managed to hit 110km/h on the M1 :) Yes, it took bloody ages, but we managed to get 660cc of two-cylinder fury up to the speed limit :D I've heard rumours that some have manaaged 120 and even 130 in these before with one person and unladen, but it was scary enough at 110. Cheap to run though!

Late model auto Laser: 185km/h on unrestricted road (work trip to NT). Took nearly 4 full minutes to get there too. To 185km/h I mean, not NT :D

CBR250R: 195km/h, speed limited but wouldn't have gone much quicker. Darlington Park back straight

Drags: R33 - 170. CBR250 - 150. CBR929RR - 210 :D

226 kmh ( 140.274 mph )at Lake Gairdner speed trials 2003 , in my 1987 station wagon with worked rb30 ( non turbo ). that was the average speed over 1 mile after winding up for 3 miles . was 5th gear at approx 5800 rpm . now have done rb25de head conversion and will take to Lake gairdner again next year .

Some of mine

Datsun 180B - 180km/h with blue and black smoke pouring out the back

Cortina 4.1 liter - 195km/h redline with 4 speed auto with the aerodynamics of a brick.

Hire Cars Up in Far North QLD for work purposes

BA Falcon, New Magna, VX Commowhore, New Camry - all around 200km/h down the same stretch of country road in the middle of nowhere and all felt like they were gonna fly off the road.

R33 - Around 220km/h just coming onto boost in 5th but no road left.

290 in r32 GTR 1.3 bar, private rd. Had to slow down after couple of klms of straight as cane field railway tracks were coming up and i didn't want to launch her. Stable at high speed too, after that one of the turbos shit itself!!

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
