Top speed of the skylines

[summoner]

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

[Guest GODZILR]

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.

So higher speeds reduce the validity of a guage, at what point is the speedo telling you lies on a stock R32 GTSt?

ive gone as fast as i want to go in my car... (i think) i duno how fast it was, sitting at about 6500rpm in 5th gear. speedo needle was almost back around to zero

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*
