Old fart? mate I'm 41 and that in anyone's language is an old fart :)

Back on topic. I have had the pleasure of the 300kmh ride. 1000hp Supra on Calder raceway.

LOL even old Bob launched it off the line, but backed off. A great day I'll always remember ...

How long did it take to get to that speed? Was it pretty much full throttle the whole way? Any cars overtake you? :)

Well I was cruising around 200-220 most of the time unless somone was in front of me. And then it took what felt like about 2kms from there with my foot flat to the floor to get up around that speed. I reckon to get it up to its max, which is 305, you would need a fair bit of space. However 0-100 4.7 and 0-200 is 16 sec and takes around 600m at a guess, and with lanch contoll I believe its even quicker. Officially I think its 0-100 in 4.1sec with lanch controll. That was insane.

And no cars overtook us at all. THere were a quite a few that were cruising round 200, but we didnt see any super cars out that night except for going the opposite direction. There are some amazing cars on the streets of berlin though. Ferrari 599gtb, Mclaren SLR, audi R8 v10, cl63 amg, 911 turbos everywhere........to name just a few you will see down the main drag of Mitte.

Yeh, i gota do this...

ppl dont understand how crazy that road really is, i watch a tv program on it, and its amazing the technology that is used to make this road operational. Its the safest road in the world... btw

i still think going 230 on aussie roads is fast tho... bmw 335 ftw!

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
