i have top speeded all my cars to date here is the list.

toyota corona 1980 wagon - 155kph. (4 cylinder starfire - 4 speed)

toyota corolla hatch 1985 - 165kph. (4 cylinder - five speed)

vl commodore sedan - 195-200kph. (rb30 - auto)

vr commodore sedan - 215kph. (v6 - 5 speed)

r33 skyline gts-t - 190kph - bloody limiter!!!!

the corona and the vl were the scariest and hairiest...

the starfire motor in the corona forever leaked oil from everywhere after this.

Mitsu Colt, 1.6ltr, auto - 160kph (knuckles white on steering wheel but still beat the dude in the gemini) - thanks to mum for loaning me the car for the night.

HZ Kingswood, 3.3ltr, auto - 120kph, flat to the boards and nothing left at all.

VC Commodore, 3.3ltr, 4sp manual, extractors + exhaust - 170kph but sounded more like 300kph.

Datsun 180B, 4sp manual, downdraft webber, extractors + exhaust - never took much notice of speed as too many other things were coming loose. Oh, and speedo cable broken for best part of 2 years.

R33 GTS25t Skyline, FMIC, 3" exhaust, 9psi, 165rwkw - 180-190kph down EC straight on speed cut ( 170 thru turn 1 if tyres haven't gone off )

Z.

Got roughly 125-130kph down straight on Wollongong Kart track :flamed: Had 180kph on *** intercoolor cover blew off!! So backed off and collected the bastard. (Don't litter on freeways-excess of $100.00 fine) :wassup:

edit:read my warnings on page 2 R31Nismoid

Well if we're talking other cars too, these are the more memorable ones:

VC Commodore, modded 202 + 5 speed: ~220km/h @ 6300rpm on dyno. Could only get around 140 from memory at Morgan Park as the front straight is so short, years ago before track was extended, but it saw a mind-numbing 170 iirc at QR. I took a while to wind up! It didn't like to stop or take corners that much either, but was fun and a good learning tool.

Mate's Subaru Sherpa: Managed to hit 110km/h on the M1 :) Yes, it took bloody ages, but we managed to get 660cc of two-cylinder fury up to the speed limit :D I've heard rumours that some have manaaged 120 and even 130 in these before with one person and unladen, but it was scary enough at 110. Cheap to run though!

Late model auto Laser: 185km/h on unrestricted road (work trip to NT). Took nearly 4 full minutes to get there too. To 185km/h I mean, not NT :D

CBR250R: 195km/h, speed limited but wouldn't have gone much quicker. Darlington Park back straight

Drags: R33 - 170. CBR250 - 150. CBR929RR - 210 :D

226 kmh ( 140.274 mph )at Lake Gairdner speed trials 2003 , in my 1987 station wagon with worked rb30 ( non turbo ). that was the average speed over 1 mile after winding up for 3 miles . was 5th gear at approx 5800 rpm . now have done rb25de head conversion and will take to Lake gairdner again next year .

Some of mine

Datsun 180B - 180km/h with blue and black smoke pouring out the back

Cortina 4.1 liter - 195km/h redline with 4 speed auto with the aerodynamics of a brick.

Hire Cars Up in Far North QLD for work purposes

BA Falcon, New Magna, VX Commowhore, New Camry - all around 200km/h down the same stretch of country road in the middle of nowhere and all felt like they were gonna fly off the road.

R33 - Around 220km/h just coming onto boost in 5th but no road left.

290 in r32 GTR 1.3 bar, private rd. Had to slow down after couple of klms of straight as cane field railway tracks were coming up and i didn't want to launch her. Stable at high speed too, after that one of the turbos shit itself!!

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
