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).

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
