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'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,

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

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?? ;)

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I was chatting with an ex SAU person who is involved in chooning euros now. He was saying the factory cars like Audi VW etc have something like 2000 tables that the ECU uses for getting everything "just right". Compare that back to any aftermarket ECU, and you'd be hard pressed to surpass 50 lookup tables. Even the Ford Barra engine has a few hundred lookup tables to run it (and they're still working some tables out too!)

      Grab a temp probe, and probe each exhaust inlet runner with it sitting idling. Each one should be pretty darn close to the same temp. If you've got some reading higher or lower than the others, it's likely either air flow isn't equal, or your injectors aren't equal to each other.   The other things to check, is from the wiring changes that were made, were any earth's or grounds moved/changed.   Lastly, for the strut brace issue. It's not perfect, but can you get away with slipping a washer or two under the strut brace to raise it, and it still clean the bonnet? If you can, work out the height you need, that the motor can't torque up into, and get a spacer made for each side.
