Before I got the skyline I pulled 258 kph in my Astra MK II Turbo, she was pulling 225 bhp at the fly... and nothing fell off...

Attached my Calibra Turbo in France ..... (notice I'm changing lanes while taking the photo, and its in mph not kph)

I was trying to catch my mate but he just pi%$ed off into the distance, his car was an Astra MK II Turbo with 315 bhp at the fly.

Um, in my old Starlet, speed limiter cut in about 195km/h or so (on the track :D ) Car felt fine, very stable, unlike my passenger's heart rate. He had never been over 140km/h! Probably only had about 10-15 km/h left.

My 180sx speed limited to 190 or so, still pulling quite strongly. Once I get more boost and no speed limiter, I will let you know.

Next time I get on a track.

:D

240 kmh in a 300zx TT on Natone straight Targa 2000

250 or there abouts ( was a bit busy)in a 32 GTR across the top on Mt Arrowsmith 2001.

Apart from relying completely on the pace notes and navigator ( cos your going over crests and getting air), it didn't feel that fast

Both cars were rock steady, but good suspension and tyres helps.

I think fm109's are rated at V as they are pretty good tyres.

Id hate to blow a tyre at 200Km/hr OUCH

Yer i regularly exercise my speedo needle .. its a part of maintenance .. hehe...

I get usualy get it to 240ks or so, doesnt feel like its struggling either, but i havent tested past 240 yet ...

The main thing i notice is how hard on the brakes it is when u try to slow down, this is why they have aftermarket brakes for sale i supose ... Feels quite stable as well...

yeah i had to go to court and the magistrate asked me why i was going so fast and i told her that i wasnt. my little 76 celica was "stock standard" (yaeh for a supra hehehe) and was lucky to reach 160kph little own 267kph. i argued that the camera was not accurate and they dropped the charge from 267 to 15kph over.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
