300km+

[GTScotT]

This was something I was considering for a long while. Things start to get rough at the 250 mark, braking distances multiply and its hard to tell the difference once your above 200. I advise caution... To the wind.

I dare say 3.9s out of the auto S13 might not cut the mustard. I am fairly sure you can get a touch under 3.7s in an S14 5MT, should be able to swap the crown and pinion over to our setups and retain our half shafts.

Me + this thread = epic lulz.

256km an hour wasnt an estimate.

Its what my old PFC hand controller told me

[PM-R33]

Hahaha damn faulty Power FC hand controllers showing up random speeds

[HEKT1K]

double post

[HEKT1K]

Hmm does the PFC controller really show speeds that high?

I remember when i went to the drags, i pulled a 112mph trap speed, but kept my foot buried for a bit afterwards, so the needle was well past 180, and the PFC only said a max of 179

[NYTSKY]

In that case i must have been going 275km lol

If someone organises a top speed run and it's not on salt flats (corrosion), I'm in.

[paulR32gtr]

I remember seeing the veilside r34 gtr doing top speed runs in NZ.

Got to 346.2km/h - didn't look easy though

You mean you want someone to do it with or your expecting someone to set this up legally? LOL

Either way Ill be in for both in due time.

Steve,

I was speaking to a few friends about doing this as an event, like the standing mile they have in the states.

We should get together and suss out some particulars.

[GTRNUR]

Standing mile sounds like it would be a great fun event alright.

As was already said... R34 getrag and diff is the go. It will hold up to 800hp in a high speed sort of environment so long as your not doing big launches with semi slicks.

Meanwhile... on the autobarns in germany.

[NYTSKY]

That is near the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo, not Germany.

But yes, a standing mile event is something that should be very popular if organised.

[XRATED]

Done 312km/h... over 8k. R32GTR with 400rwkw and a dog box. Got there pretty quick!

I attended quite a few standing mile events in Florida over the last few years... There are allways a HUGE variety of cars and bikes turn up. I helped out on a record breaking 252+mph TT GT40 with nitrous.

The events are great!

It's a very easy going event, no one gets tooooo serious. It's just good fun. It's relativly easy on the vehicles, there's no crazy outlay for brakes or 16 pairs of tyres and it's technical enough to keep it interesting.

I'd like to see a 'cannonball run' standing mile event out in central Aus.

Cheers

Justin

i'm not sure if i still have it, but i used to have a motor magazine where they were at avalon airport or whatever it's called in victoria and they were testing out the top speed of a few cars. a lambo got to around 300kmh. they had some other exotics arranged but the person who was supposed to organise them wasn't able to deliver but they did have a 350kw r33 gtr turn up. test driver got it to close to 300kmh showing the car a small amount of mechanical sympathy. then the owner got in and managed to crack 300kmh.

if doing this on a public road you would want to make sure that the road is in very good condition and nice and smooth. bumps that feel like nothing at 100kmh will feel a lot bigger at 3 times that speed.

*wanders off to look through magazines for the article.

s15 come with 3.61 diff

there are heaps of them around

usually ppl with s15 ,s want the 33 diff 4.11

[drift_dingo]

epic win I don't come read this for a few days and it's all about cops and robbers

hypothetically, as I'm a scientist *adjust labs coat* I may have some lovely nice stretches of smooth road far enough out of the way to be able to test top end speeds. Plus I just have to do it cuz this little skyline is just gunna!

yeh but getrag boxes cost a little too much for may taste (8k-10k correct?) and it's to be a 'streetable' car <-- under the impression getrag boxes are race application. Unless I can sell my current box (under 100k on it) for a decent amount but I'd need to retain the housing all the same...

but yesh, taller ratio sounds like the go, but I always wonder getting a s/h taller ratio diff is always suspect, as ya never know what sort of life it had before hand.

[KLR33]

r2oo diffs are very strong

i have had the same diff for 10 years in one of my drifters

nothing but changing the oil

[paulR32gtr]

Nope the R34 GTR comes stock with a 6 speed gearbox made by Getrag - same gearbox as used in the Supra in a RWD config I believe.

[WHITER33GTS-T]

s15 come with 3.61 diff

there are heaps of them around

usually ppl with s15 ,s want the 33 diff 4.11

I wouldnt mind a 3.6 diff and I have a 4.11 to do a deal with
