Fastest 1/4 mile is in the 9.2 or 9.3 region in my R34 N1 Vspec, the white one with black bonnet.

Fastest speed is 412kmh in my 857hp Toyota Supra. I'm sure I can get better than these, too busy drifting around Monaco with the HKS silvia. :)

heheh, you guys are using the wrong car in the game for the best 1/4 mile time :(

its not a skyline unfortunately

I got a new Record on 400m it is 8.601sec

The fastest cars i know on the 1/4 mile in gt3 was the escudo and the Polyphony. or is there a better car in gt4.

all i know is that a forum i used to be on, we were all having a comp on who could do the best 400m time...and everyone went straight to the skyline...then a few guys pulled out the WRX, and no one could catch them. cant remember the times, but im pretty sure some of them were into the 7's

re top speed. i've hit 509.1km/h in the bentley speed 8, with full nitrous, on qualifyers, minimum downforce, and gearing set to just hit redline in top at that speed. so far i havent managed to get any faster, although i'm still trying to break the 510 mark.

incidentally, i also just cleared 500 in the audi r8, and almost hit 500 in the cerbera speed 12 on similar settings. can I take screenshots to prove to anyone who has not already done this that it is possible? (it wasn't difficult, i'm just expecting a few people to come out and call bullshit) otherwise, i'll just get my digital cam and take a photo of the tv screen :S

haven't really had a serious shot at 1/4 mile times, so i'll get back to you all on that :rolleyes:

@ whippet, I cracked a 488km/h in the RUF CTR2... and i've heard of other on the GTPlanet forum who have hit in excess of 510km/h, try advusting the downforce on the car as well. Although I should tell you if you adjust way too much downforce on the rear and not enough on the front, the car will do a wheelie.... but i garentee that that 510 mark will be history.

Also try a car like the Minolta 88-C (i've seen it hit 516 kph) or the mercedes sauber, these cars are by farr quicker than the Bentley.

Check out this thread for some insane top speed records.....

yeah, i've got the toyota minolta, and the r92 nissan, but i havent had a shot at a top speed run. incidentally, i'm going to have a go at the 1/4 with my bentley, coz as much as other cars may be "faster" i've got that car set up so i'm pretty well unbeatable. I seem to recall having hit low 8's with that fast mercedes (cant remember the exact name of the car atm, cbf turning the ps2 on to find out) but i know the speed 8 is faster.

and... ummm... is using the escudo dirt trial car considered cheating, down the 1/4? i'm in the low 8's and i havent even started playing with gearing/suspension yet.

shit, i've owned the game for months, and havent played it much, but now i seem to be getting addicted to trying to set records. :S

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
