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!!

    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
