What Speeds Can You Get To?

[adam_lateshift]

Just wondering what sort of speeds a standard r32 GTR with the standard gearbox ratio's will let you get up to. Thats of course if you get rid of the fuel cut. I was thinking 260 or 270. Is that close to the mark when hitting redline in 5th??

I have the 320 dash and just wouldn't mind knowing. :lol:

Cheers fellas

i know that about 7600-7800rpm in 4th is 180k's per hour cos it kept hitting the speed limiter on the dyno just before 8000rpm

i think 270 is wishfull thinking, my guess would be more like 240

[adam_lateshift]

Would have thought it have been more. Closer gear ratio's for more acceleration I guess. Well thats as fat as you would go at most tracks anyway hey.

Cheers mate

I've had my gtr to 270 on my speedo, probably not very accurate tho.. but it was no where near the redline in 5th. was still pulling but ran out of track.

top of 3rd is around 180, top of 4th is around 240 ... will have to get hte gps out next time i have passenger lap to see how true it is

[R31Nismoid]

you wont get a stock GTR to 270 dude

[RellikZephyr]

i had my GTR at about 240 and it was doin 6k rpm so my guess would be maybe 255-260 mark not much futher

got the 300k speedo reading around 280klm/h in 5th, no speed cut, higher rev limit and 1.3 bar ages ago.

[adam_lateshift]

I have searched every where to find what the excact top speed is but can't find it. Everyone has there different opinions. Does anyone know the excact top speed??

[RellikZephyr]

according to reference.com the top speed is 257 km/h

there you go theres a official number

and im guessing reference.com is a trustworthy source....??

and from when i was doing a top speed run in my GTR from speed and revs i was doing i believe thats right on the money of the gearing (for a R32 dont know if others have different gearing)

r33 its gts-t its 280

Gearing for an R32 GT-R is as follows (all in km/h per 1000rpm)

1st 8.9

2nd 14.8

3rd 21.9

4th 28.5

5th 40

There is an old Wheels magazine around with a test which produced a terminal velocity for a stock GT-R at around 250km/h (from memory).

But don't try it at home, kids.

FTR: I have just watched an R32 GTR torrent file, I think its an old BMI Video from 1989, they have incar footage of standard R32 GTR around the Nurburgring, speedo was hitting 240kmh.

Then later tested over the QTR = 13.32

Then on a Banked High speed circuit = 247kmh

My Speed limiter cuts in at 181kmh as I found out at the drags which is basically top of 3rd in a GTR.

Can anyone remember which wire it is on the ECU you cut to disable the speed limiter?

Or point me in the direction of a thread that does......

Just go under the dash grab a whole bunch of them and cut them, If you have any doubts, think weight reduction

r33 its gts-t its 280

280km/h in a GTS-T? For a stocker? :lol: I seriously doubt that!

(EDIT: Or do you mean it is geared for 280km/h? In that case it is more beleivable and you are forgiven with my apologies!)

On the serious side, I've heard around 250km/h mark is about right for the R32 GTR - the car may be geared for more (maybe 260-280km/h), but I don't think the stock car can pull redline in fifth.

define STOCK R32 GTR

mines got 3" turbo back straight thru exhaust, apexi pods, boost restrictor removed

and it was still pullin strong at 6k in fifth

i would have no doubt i could hit the fifth gear redline

but mine may not be considered STOCK

good stuff - seems to work out spot on with my R32 GTR which from the speedo roughly gives 120kph in 2nd, 180 in 3rd, shifting at 8000rpm. Looks like its actually 118.4 and 175.2. Close enough for me. I think I hit about 220kph going into the Caltex Chase at Bathurst on the run where I got a tow behind a sport sedan down the straight and didn't lift through the kink - but its hard to get more than a quick glance at the speedo in those circumstances! Plus its a 300kph speedo, so its hard to be too accurate with the lines being quite close together at the best of times, let alone at over 200 going into the Chase right up the arse of a sport sedan...

I've also heard the top speed for a standard R32 is 250kph - I think I read that in a Julian Edgar Zoom article when he first got that Aus-delivered GTR he crashed :lol: Not sure what his source was. As you can see from djr81's specs above, 5th is a real overdrive, so it wouldn't surprise me that it isn't able to put on too much speed in 5th.

Sorry to hijack but u say u have removed the boost restrictor. what exactly is this and is it easy to do? can it be done on an R33 GTR

You dont have a hope in hell of getting anywhere near the redline with those mods . The 32 + 33 GTR is geared to so about 320 if you could get to the cutout but unless you have a very powerfull engine you wont go anywhere near .

A stock 32 will do about 240kmh a stock 33 a little more and a 34 a bit more still

If you could get to the cut out on the 34 you will be doing over 340kmh in 6th , but for a stock car about 255-260 is all you will do .

sorry mate i didnt remove restrictor myself so i cant help you with that, from what i understand its not that hard also i think R33 is electronically boost controlled so its a little different (but not sure i own a 32 so i know the 32, not 33 sorry)

cant really say i agree with that, but i will try another run when i get my car back (fixing idle problem), rather than me arguing yes and you arguing no i will prove (or disprove) what really happens

hmmm.... trying to figure out what racetrack has a long enough straight for you to test this
