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.

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
