but why would you want to go that fast?

Because he is a Kriminal.

Pay what ever it costs you test your top speed at your local track.

Its a lot safer and will prevent you making the news WHEN not if you get busted.

"Yet another Skyline clocking 200km/h"

Its not some thing we really want to hear.

Now that you have reworded the origional post. :cheers:

That really depends on how much power and rev's you have.

I would say 240-250-260km/h is within reach.

My little old VS Commodore 5 speed with a few mild mods used to only 'just' crack 250km/h so no doubt a mild RB25 which makes around 380hp will be able to crack it also. Depends if you run out of rev's.

Do the Math. :D

The standard soft limit is fifth gear at 5000rpm. at that speed you are doing approx 190kph

If you divide by 5000 and then times it by the redline (7200), you get 273.6kph.

Didnt you learn about ratios in school?

The standard soft limit is fifth gear at 5000rpm.

Soft limit? What's that then? Haven't heard that expression before.

so at 8krpm you'd be nudging just over 300km/h? Must try that out!! (Private closed race track of course. :cheers:

You don't even need 250hp to crack 250km/h.

haha.. Come on buddy.. This is a VS 5ltr Slugger Commodore we are talking about. :P

250km/h is a fair speed, most new cars even the ones making 250hp at the fly would be pushed to get 250km/h.

I was actually referring to the bit where you said "no doubt a mild RB25 which makes around 380hp will be able to crack it also."

...and im saying you dont even need 250hp to crack 250km/h (and you dont even need 7,000+ rpm).

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
