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.

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
