u reckon 300 from a stock gt-r? dreaming mate. comes down to laws of physics and aerodynamics. It mite make it to 270 easily but i doubt she'll have the guts to keep pushing itself to 300. But thats just my pushrod way of thinking.

bits comming off at speed? and you guys complain about holden build quality :) 260kmh steady as a rock nothing falling off haha

summoner is right people, note the revs not the speed as even with a 300 k speedo they are very inaccurate at high speeds.

my brothers r33 gtr was showing 285 kph with revs at 6800 which is actually only 255 kph in reality. which is all that a stock gtr is capable of. 300ks is at damn near 8000 revs.

Speedo is lying from 0. Even ADS rules allow up to 10% overestimation. Gets even worse if your aftermarket wheels and tyres are not exactly the correct diameter.

Does anyone have definative rpm/speed for skylines?

I have had mine to 250ish (wanted to keep eyes on road). I got 260kph Impul speedo. Back seat passenger told me the speed. Was at red line in 5th. It ran out of gearing to go any faster ie. it accelerates from 100-150 at the same rate as 200-250 (close enough anyway). My car is not standard.

no comment.

ps. i still have half a mud guard if you want it:rolleyes:

my old car had a P-FC. i got reading of 231 and she definately had more in her. car was slightly unsteady but could have handled an extra 10-20 easy. i didn't push it as it was pitch dark and i wasn't familiar with the road. don't have an rpm figure as the p-fc was set to peak and i would have reached a higher value in a lower gear.

adrian, it was on the way back from the gong one night. prank was with me and someone else but can't exactly recall who.

Last time I checked - supra's weren't rev limited to 5600rpm!

I think you'll find that's a gm v8 of some sort... Camaro perhaps?

Yeh on second thoughts u could be right there, i was wondering where the boost guage was cause ive never really sen the inside of a jza80. Just cause it came from supraforums dont mean its a supra *sigh*

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
