Speed...

[Guest nismogtsx]

First Bike = 140kph (ZZR 250 @ 10000rpm - wasent going it too much)

Second Bike = 280kph (R9 @ 18000rpm)

Third Bike = almost 300

First Car = 150kph (torana @ 4700rpm LOL)

Second Car = 240kph+ (Pintara @ 8000rpm LOL)

Third Car = 180 (180SX @ 6400rpm)

Forth Car = 195kph (Magna @ 6000rpm)

Fifth Car = 240kph (Skyline @ 6100rpm)

All on dads property.... Really.... HAHAHAHA

Its also true the Pintara got 240+kph... It took me almost 5 minutes to achieve that speed and i had a mate on a bike beside me mesuring the speed. I broke the gaudge after that one, i would not go over 90kph again... LOL

Also the third bike mas a mates drag bike not a road bike, trust me the R9 at 280 was #!$@ un controlable i thought i saw my life flash before my eyes and have never and will never go that speed again on one wheel...LOL

This is probably the best description of speed I have seen!!! R33 doing 300+ km/h over Tokyo Bay bridge!!!! This and other movies can be found on Mario's site http://www.exvitermini.com/ in the movies section / various (most of you probably knew this!!)

Mario owns the fastest GTR in OZ!!!(probably knew that too!!!)

I too have hit the 180kph speed limiter!! have also done 278kph on my R6 motorbike(now destroyed due to my heavy right wrist!!) on a private road!!(my driveway ha ha )

Mostly on topic.

I've had my apparently stock R33 to 210(ish) at Eastern Creek, but no sign of the speed limiter cutting in. Are the speedos that innaccurate? Could the limit have been removed (if so, how could I tell)? For those who've hit it, a description of the effect would be appreciated - the redline 7,200 in fourth is approx 190, are you sure that's not what stopped you?

Ignition cut, car makes a kind of cool backfiring noise as unburnt fuel gets dumped into the exhaust. Listen to my GTST down the straight at Eastern Creek, fire crackers. i dont mind it really makes turn 1 easier when you only have to lift off and dab the brakes.

[MegaGTS4]

I hit speedlimiter at 180kph and car would not go any faster(a bit like hitting the revlimiter only at lower revs) at only 4800 rpm in overdrive!!(yes I drive an auto)

Had my 33 GTS-t rev limit top gear. Dont know how fast it was, but it was f@rkin fast. Out on a good old country road in the early hours one morning. Wouldve heard me from a km's away!!!!! :lol:

[fatz]

5500 rpm in 5th in a rb gemini. works out to be about 220 on gearing

how and when. basically comming back from the snow floored it from cambera and hit the speed on the big hill half way home.

not the fatsest but had 4 people in the car and ski gear and on four retreads (oh the stupid **** you do when you r young).. but *** me what a rush

What rpm Duncan? I think it's about 40 kmh/1000rpm in 5th.

210 kmh=5250 rpm

[Duncan]

No idea on what RPM in 5th - I'll take a quick peak next time.

But does anyone know the numbers for 4th? It was indicating approx 190 at 7,200 in 4th.

Or more to the point, how can the speedo be tested for accuracy?

[red900ss]

With a GPS

[Piggaz]

will a GPS really cut it though?

for example

in our boat we have a GPS, the normal dash speed and a speed on the fish finder..

at any given speed they all vary...

=

[red900ss]

Any GPS will be more accurate than a speedo. Handheld, dashmounted doesn't matter. Dash speed in your boat is probably taken from a revolving sensor in the water. Susceptible to weed etc, same with the Depth sounder usually. Also the GPS gives ground speed only, where the others are speed through the water with no correction for current.

[rwong20012]

On F1 going to newcastle from sydney arvo hit the speed limiter it looked as if it went 20km pass the 180km on the speedo... so 200km/h? if you measure the spacing between the speeds..

=) well stayed their for half a minute before the orange engine light turned on.. wondered what that meant?..

Stock R33gts25t series II

[Guest LoudBlueBMW]

200km/h in 4th gear at 6500rpm redline (car is only a 4 speed) With the work done to it it took no time to get there and would easily use 5th to its advantage. With one point left I think a 4 speed gets me into enough trouble..... never mind the noise the car makes over 4k rpm....

lol, a thread back from the dead!

And your words were prophetic Dino, I've now got a road angel in the car which includes GPS speedo....so I'll be able to answer my own question from EC on Thur

[MrR33]

185 on my first bike -CBR250RR - scary and fun, as measuered by a 929 erion that was sitting right behind me.

skyline - limiter, but thats son to be gone... i'll c wat it does...

[red900ss]

heh I would have lent you my GPS for much less than the Road Angel cost Duncan

[Iguana]

with me behind the wheel

190km/h in a 98 vs stock commo (mum's car )

Got the 88 vl, also stock to 160 but it didn't seem to like it much

mate behind the wheel with 5 in the car, 96 (i think) subaru liberty sedan to 180km/h

all this on the same stretch of uhh private road *cough* vs felt like it coulda gone alot further but the road has a hill that cops tend to sit on on the other side so you wanna be doin 120 before you hit the top of it.

when I get my line i know the speedlimiter will be one of the first things to go

[int21h]

My new avatar will show my maximum speed with the limiter
