Wouldn't it have alot to do with the gearbox and diff ratio's not the amount of mods or power you are making?

My understanding was that more power would just make you get there faster but you still come to a halt when you run out of gearing (provided you have enough power to push the car to the end of the gearing).

I reckon about 210 215 in my n/a pos

I'd second that, maybe actually a bit quicker.

I've had mine waaaay off the clock a couple of times. considering its doing 2500 RPM at 110 in top, then wound out at 6000rpm what would that be?On the numbers thats 264kmh, but I reckon given (a complete lack of) aerodynamics, clutch slip, tyre flex etc etc, its probably around 230-35, maybe a bit less. Could be wrong. and still pulling, I might add, but I buttoned off.

Irresponsible and wrong to do for sure, but I was on my own, no traffic round, 30+ kms from civilization.

Not bad for an old n/a pos....RB20DET would make for some fun...

cheers,

Hi Mick ,there is a hell of a big difference between 305 kph and 328 kmh I am not doubting over 300 but 328 mmmmmmmm I wonder.

Hands up anyone who can get over 300 kph out of there skyline,someone may just get a world record here lol.

GTR-700: Whilst still in its road legal trim, it exceeded 320 km/h - I have no real idea as to exactly how fast it was going, but I backed off at 8,100rpm in 5th gear (standard gearbox and diffs) using 18" (265/40) tyres. Do the math.

WARIO: 282 km/h - exactly... :D

Mario.

Yeah he was saying that he recons he would have got 310 if they had let him have another go. Still awsome to see the GTR at the top in such company. It is a nice car. Would have been great if Ben was able ot have taken his on the day.

Ben will get his chance - Tony's was second best choice for now I guess.

I still have my limiter on the R32 but my previous car was a VS v8 5 speed 3.5" exhaust chip etc etc.

I had that off the clock sitting just on 5500rpm. I remember at the time I worked it out that 5500rpm was around 250km/h.

From 5000rpm it used to take a little while to get to 5500rpm.

The spedo used to go up to 220km/h and it was still pulling strong as it used cruised past it.

The 32 is quicker though, it is noticible in third especially.

~230km/hr (on estimate of back aroundness).. with bit more to go...

Thing is not sure whether the GTS-T's are able to go too much past 250km/hr. I mean if you wanted to build one that went 300km/hr I am sure you could, but you'd have to stuff around with the gearbox and diff ratios - not something you'd bother doing unless you were trying to set a world record.

Speaking of world records, I believe JUN still holds that for a "semi" street car with their Supra... 401km/hr. They also hold the record for an R33 as well (383km/hr)

Amazing how many of us have our own test tracks though isn't it?? ;)

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
