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!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
