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!

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
