Motive dvd talkin out their anooous :)

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

:rolleyes:

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!

There was also nothing mentioned at all about any GTR hitting 400km/h @ the top of 4th.

I mean - we'd both know - given we were there, actually running our own cars :thumbsup:

maybe they were going to use a 4 speed gearbox with super tall diff ratios, lol

had a guy tell me once that he went for a drive in a commodore where they owner said he had put a chip in it where it would do 180kmh in second gear at 2000rpm just by pressing a button...........

very very sure a skyline can hit 400kmh,

That's pretty sure. Got any proof of a 89 to 02 skyline getting there? Sure it is, just with a STUPID amount of power. Blitz had a good crack and did less than 350 km/h IIRC.

ll a skyline could crack 400 in 4th if they wanted, but only with a modified gearbox, kinda like the LMP2 cars, only use 4 speeds and have ratios that go to the 400 mark.

so technically it is possible if we are still spending huge amounts of cash, i think 1000bhp+, proper gearbox, proper aero kit it could be achieved.

but then again, there is no point to waste all that money and have a 400kmh run, rather spend that money and build a nice endurance car :D

p.s this is the tissue box, but only did 311kmh, thought it did more.....

Nuh! My bad guys!

I monged it. :(

They actually said "it has an os giken gearbox with very long gear ratios that can reach 300kmh at 10krpm at the top of 4th".

They talked it up like it was so amazing,so over time my memory went bent.

My bad guys,carry on.

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 ?

It may not be GTR, nor a RB26, but you mentioned a nissan 3 litre,

Jun's Z32 demo car - VG30DETT ran 419.84 km/h in 1991 - record still stands today

2001, Jun attempted to beat the record with a supra (Akira supra)

aerodynamics play a huge part when you move into higher speed regions

10K in a OS box is 293 km/h which is the same as standard. 4th is 1:1... Which is same as standard. Haha. They monged it!

The first 3 gears are taller in a OS box, 4th is the same and 5th is shorter BUT you can go a stock gear (which is what I did with my OS box when I destroyed the stocker)

Silly sausages!

a year ago my mate bought a r33 gts-t spent around about 40,000 dollars on it as it was a drift car, and while on the princes hwy we clocked 354 on the speedo as he had the nismo dash and a digital speedo. so its easy enough for skylines to do.

just sayin.

mean to say 256, and it was only minor engine mods and another engine.

For minor money and mods not really. it was not at high revs either the car still had a lot more to go.

But at a radar hot spot you tend to slow down..

All it shows is that they easily have the potential and the aerodynamics arent bad either so as someone said before with the right downforce and mods (diff ratios and ecu tunes etc) the skyline will be able to match it easily.

massive difference between 256kmh and 400kmh when it comes to aerodynamics.

as above, there is a reason why the veyron needs 1000hp to do over 400kmh and the veyron supersport which has a revised aero package and an extra 200hp only does about 20km/h faster. pretty sure it only takes about 200hp for the veyron to do 200kmh, so it then takes an extra 800hp to do the next 200kmh and that is in a car designed to go that fast from word go. so don't think it's just a case of bolting on a few mods and then being able to go as fast as you'd like. moral of the story, if a skyline could easily go faster than that speed of the supra, then so could a supra tuned by someone else. what i'm really saying is that without some stupidly powerful drag car engine putting out a few thousand horsepower, you won't get a skyline or a supra much faster than 400kmh.

as for your mates 33, 2 things. for starters, if it was running stock gear ratios (or close to), then 256kmh would've been close to redline. i had access to a closed airstrip once and i managed to get my r33 up to roughly 240kmh (did require starting and finishing on grass) and that was 6500rpm in 5th gear (and that is how i calculated speed since the speedo only goes to 180kmh, but 3250rpm is roughly 120kmh, so double the rpm and you double the speed). secondly, don't forget to take into account speedo error. at that sort of speed you could expect the speedo to be out by 10 to 15kmh. even a digital speedo will be calibrated to read faster than the actual speed by a small amount. the faster you go, the bigger the difference.

Listen to this guy, you're making yourself sound stupid.

First you claim 350+ km/hr then it's 250km/hr. 250km/hr is no where near 400 and you obviously have no or very little understanding of physics.

400km/hr will never be "easy" to reach as you claim.

Lastly, if you, or your friends are going to drive like an idiot and speed dangerously on public roads, don't tell people about it, I'm sure the forum and other members don't want to be associated with this kind of behavior.

at first i thought you were having a go at me, LOL

and to your last paragraph, spot on. doing 256kmh on a public road is bloody stupid. then talking about it on a pulbic forum is even more stupid.

does slowing down really matter when your doing 250+?

    • 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.
