On an R33 in 5th gear divide the revs by 26. Thats a pretty close calculation. So 7000rpm in 5th gear is 269.23km/h. My car cuts out at about 5250 which is 201.9km/h. I don't understand why though as this is more than the factory 180km/h and when it hits it it's a rev limiter. Doesn't slow down at all and starts backfiring all over the place.

I have been well over 200 but the problem is, I dont think the speedo is too accurate at those kinds of speeds. From what I have seen 250 can be done(I have 19's though) and I think you might be able to push 265-270 maybe? Car floats a bit at those speeds and it is something I wont be doing again, way too un-safe!

The speedo is not right at those speeds I think.

Just so people don't lose sight of reality. (Not saying any of you are, just saying just in case.)

I've seen the results of a Monaro that was doing 250 on a freeway and lost it due to what at 110 km/h would be a small undulation but at 250 must have been a lot worse.

Car came to rest 250 metres down the road and 100 metres or so off to the left, set itself on fire and pretty much disintegrated. The guy died in the fire but probably wouldn't have made it anyway cos he was fairly mangled.

Below is the result of hitting a rock at speed when a car pulled out infront of us(not me driving). We were lucky though all that happened was I got a broken hand. Pic quality pretty bad as it was taken on a phone. Oh and that's the fuel tank on the back seat.

OUCH, Thats nasty!!!

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.

      SR20 to cefiro

      By KKaplumbaa · Posted

      Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
