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!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
