r33 gtst top speed

[dAVE]

Just wondering if anyone knows the top speed of an R33 (ie 5th gear at red line).

thanks,

Dave

[meggala]

7000 rpm is 270 kph in a manual

is that enough

[dAVE]

not quite i wanted it to be 300

thanks for the info

No problem..... just run it out to7800...

[hungry6]

with a rb26 conversion u can scoot up to 315 if ur brave enough

if you don't hear from me for a while........

Yeah, if it is worked i'm sure it will go higher than 270km/hr or so

I wonder how fast you could get the standard RB25DET if you put a bigger turbo in?

350km/hr or would things start to fly off ?

Unless the "worked" engine has had it rev range increased it won't be any quicker than the cars gearing (diff & g/box) allows.

Increased power only gets you there faster. Gearing will get you a higher top speed!

well I had 7000 rpm on my private testing track and it sure felt fast. The speedo on my car stops dead straight down, so was just curious for an about figure.

[Bo0sT_JuNkY]

on my 33 i spun the speedo back to zero!!Then the plasic covers from the wheel arch came off!! I thought i was dead ,so i havent tried it again lately,But i would say about 280 as it was on the limiter 7000 in a auto (speed cut disabled)

with mods

A manual 33 will do about 40 kmh/1000 rpm. I guess a standard one would hit the wall at about 230-240 km/h (~5700-6000 rpm).

[Sir R33]

230- 240 sounds about right to me!! i can't see a standard r33 pulling 270kph>

I've managed a touch over 6300 in 5th back when I had 215rwkw. 6300 in 5th is ~245-250ish. So I agree a stock GTS25t would be lucky to push past 230-240 before it'd run out of puff or drag would stop the fun.

[dAVE]

mine is stock... fairly... and went right through to 7500rpm.

private testing track???

[dAVE]

yeh, i nicked named it newell highway too

[inark]

lmao... oooh that type of test track

Pah... i got up to 190 in my stock standard R31 on "my private test track" and i'd say there was another 20-30km/h in it. Consider that is 120kw and an r33 gts-t has around 180kw standard, you should get more than 230km/hr.

Course with the stupid speedos on the skylines (whose dumb idea in japan was it to go up to only 180km/hr ??)... its always hard to tell.

[whatsisname]

Sure you can get to 180-190-200km/h etc.. but as speed goes up so to does drag. It's a LOT harder to hit 230-240km/h & takes plenty of power & a very good CD to push past these speeds. Plus add speedo error into the equation & you'll find your 190km/h in your R31 was probably closer to 175-180km/h.

[predator]

I'd say for a box on wheels, an R31 would have massive drag!

Yeah, who knows about speedo error but generally i think mine was on target because i did a test once on the hume on that measure speed points and it was bang on at 110km/hr like the speedo was saying.
