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.

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
