200 3rd gear passenger in a r33 gtr at 6400rpm .. had to tell him to back down coz the speed wobbles on the rims was pretty hairy.

Was it an auto ?? he he - Cause 3rd gear in a manual won't be that fast.

I've redlined my line in 4th and taken it to about 6k in 5th down the main straight at EC - but f'd if I know what speed I was doing - cause I was looking at the good damned road ahead - and that f'ing nasty hight speed corner at turn 1.........

I did this on a Dyno so nothing illegal here, 261KPH on the RSM and 260KPH is what the dyno machine read. Hit rev limiter at 7200rpm. Was pretty impressed with the accuracy of the RSM actually. But then again is doesnt take into account wind resistance, tire friction and of course the good old VIC police.

ya, take into account the resistance of the air @ 260 and its a lot different.

For ALL you guys mentioning roads etc

Edit/remove your posts. SAU doesnt condone high-speed street activities

If you dont, i'll do it for you, and you may well cop a warning

Good to see lots of people are doing it on the track though. Much safer :D

My line - dunno. Had it up to 190ish (limiter) plenty of times, but haven't had it out at the track since PFC went in due to dying/dead coils, which I'm currently too pov to fix.

Bike - somewhere around 250-260 at Darlington Park, maybe could have gone a few km/h quicker but was already crapping myself about the blind right-hander at the end of the straight! I've seen 288 on it, at an airfield way out near where I was contracted at the time. Wanted 300 but not enough tarmac.

Warnings have been handed out.

again, i'll say...

SAU Does not condone illegal street behaviour.

Simply dont post up about it if you didnt do it on a track

if people cant follow that, thread will be closed.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
