Benm,

 

So the R33 N/A ~150kw will crack 250km/h.. :D

 

I don't think it would. :P

I am unsure about the N/A but I can assure you that a 250hp (186rwkw) RB25DET is very capable of pulling 250km/h (and still pulling beyond that altho quickly running out of rpm before the rev limiter).

Lets just say I have a friend that has a flat private driveway to his house/property with plenty of run-off room where hitting 250+ in an RB25DET is very achievable.

Benm,

well I know I also took a stock pulsar over 200 with

but I think things get much harder over 200, thats a lot of air to push out of the way.

A dyno can only tell you the wheel speed of the car at the rev limit in 5th, there is no way you can max out a standard car no matter how long the road

uh?

I agree with Bazelinez, the speedo and real world speed do tend to be out slightly. I know on the private road i use, my PFC reads 180 as my speedo nudges the little "HICAS" light off the end of my 180km/h stock speedo. at 200km/h on the PFC, the needle was just past the HICAS light. :P

well thats an interesting question.....personally I'm surprised a PowerFC would read different to a speedo since they both use the same sensor in the gearbox :confused: I think the main issue is the rolling diameter not being exactly right for the speedo

IMHO GPS or good accelerometers are the only accurate way

Benm,

I miss-understood you. :D

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

You then said your friend with a Rb25DET (which is 250hp) cracked 250km/h.

The N/A won't cut it. 250km/h is just too much air to push out the road.

This friends R33.. Was it dead stock? or had the usual exhaust?

How did it go towards around 235-250km/h. Torque would have been dropping off at that point so I would have to assume the last 10km/h were slowish.

Pulling hard is subjective.

Honestly, I really do find it hard to believe a stock R33 (including ride height) would zip up to 250km/h without a struggle, think it would really be pushed to get there.

But its all I think. :D

I believe 230km/h is a fairly easy target but after that things slow down quite a lot and takes quite a bit more time to get there.

Well if a little old corolla can do 8500rpm in 5th (3SGTE, but pretty much stock) then I think a skyline could do better.

BTW, working it back and allowing for the speedo being out, the rolla was doing anywhere from 270kmh+ (sits on about 2800rpm in 5th at 100kmh, but we know its more like 90kmh. So if anyone wants to do the maths)

I have some bits to add to this all done in safety offcourse. I have an apexi digital speedo for my r33 with some small mods to the car. At about 100 on the standard clock but the apexi is reading 105 and the gap increaces slightly the faster I go, but the top speed i have done in safe envronment was 260 on the apexi.

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
