if a supra can do those big speeds Just curious as to why a bored out rb26dett with big horses cant do the same even a modified rb30dett. I cant beleive the speed on that supra thats 395kmph one of the fastest things in the world. How and why hasnt the GTR competed with it, If it has can anyone advise me ?

Because no one gives a shit that a supra can do 395kp/h I literally have never woken up and worried about the size of my penis, well not in relation to that land speed record of a supra anyway.

Aero dynamics anyone? GTR's are Fkn bricks through the air. R32 Cd is .40, R33 with the rear wing flat is .35 and the R34 with the rear wing flat is .36 IIRC. The R35 is .27 or something like that.

As much as I love GTR's, they really are not the car for that sort of stuff.

I not say ing it keeps me up at night im just wondering if they could do it , Now that you say the autostyle can, I can rest easier lol jks nah but i was starting to think they couldnt do it for some reason then i would think why.... but anyways looks like this thread is dead lmao... Piggaz check this out for aero dynamics:

I wonder what speed it will do 0-400 lool

^this

apparently the autostyle R32 has the potential to reach 400kph at the top of 4th gear.

but who cares.

Sounds like they have their hand on it to be honest.

There's a lot more to reaching 400kph than power and gear ratios.

very very sure a skyline can hit 400kmh, ive seen VW multivan hit 330kmh, and that is a tissue box! you may need the extra power to get the car there.

even if, i still dont see a point in needing to go to that speed. rather see a skyline do crazy lap times around the Nurburgring...

most skyline owners i dont think really care about top speed

most are interested in lateral acceleration

ie get to 200km/h as quick as you can

who cares what it tops out at, most probably dont even know

its like the age old question

oh my commodore is faster, the speedo goes to 220km/h and your skyline only goes to 180km/h

even with the factory speed limiter in place the skyline reaches 180km/h much quicker than the commodore would

this is what i call "fast" - lateral acceleration, not top speed

but back to the original topic

any car could technically do it, just gearing, weight, power and setup

expensive of course

but no reason why a supra can do 400km/h and a skyline can't

I was involved with standing mile racing in florida. All the higher speed cars were of an origional efficient design, to cut down the effort required to sustain speed... ie less hp.

My last event it was a late model gt40 that broke the record for a few weeks. and it had 1800 odd bhp...

If you throw enough money at any car you can get it to run over 300mph. It just takes more money and development to get a GTR to run top numbers, than it would for a more 'slipery' car e.g supra/gt40/viper/lambo etc.

The gt40 was a $1000000 dollar car... throw a million bucks at a GTR and you'll get a similar result.

apparently the autostyle R32 has the potential to reach 400kph at the top of 4th gear.

Either you are talking our your anooous... or they are.

Doesn't matter either way as there is zero chance that will happen.

Top of 4th doing 400km/h... lol. please.

When they were doin drags with GTRs on an airport tarmac.

pfft, 0-300 in 13 secs ? http://www.youtube.c...feature=related half the time.

here u go skyline beating a bugatti

that is only a drag race. can garantee that once they were above about 300kmh the veyron would claw the gtr back like it was standing still.

as people have said, the main thing limiting it would be the aero package. this is the reason why lower power cars won't ever hit redline in top gear. they don't have enough power to overcome the drag.

oh and i think the record for a commodore is something like 404kmh on the salt flats set back in 2002 (or there abouts).

400km/h at the top of 4th? Lol!!!!! Have they got 3:1 diff ratios?

Yeah no worries... Any car can have the ratios to get to 1000 km/h, doesn't mean it will!

The 'fastest' GTR is that JUN thingon the salt flats. NFI on what it did (will look it up tomorrow) but 383km/h rings s bell.

Show me one GTR that has cracked 400 km/h!

Really if you want to get nitty gritty, Ash and I were at their last event at that same airport your talking about and they got where I came from and what fuel Ash was on wrong.

Dont believe everything you read on the net!

    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
