Just wondering what happens when you reach the top speed on the stock speedo on the 33gts as it only goes up to 180 ...

do you stop going any faster or does the needle just stop at 180 and you keep going faster?... or do you go back in time...?

But if u dont run a standard ecu (or have had it chiped) it will go into the blank stuff.... I noticed mine at qld raceway down the back straight was not paying too much attention as i was more consirned about the up coming corner... But yeah it went into the blank stuff....

I was clocked at 190kph at the end of the straight....

hehe...yeah, i was hoping i could hit 200km/h and generate 2gigawatts of power and head back to 1982 for abit...

Great Scott! You could run into your younger, slower self!

Hmm... 2gigawatts.... might be worth having a chat to Leewah, he's almost there! :P

I havent tried to stay in 4th gear in the R33 GTS and hit the limiter (about 7 grand), but I have gone past 180kph in 5th and it hits the limiter early at 5500rpm. I'm guessing around 190-200kph. I'm not sure how fast you can go in 4th gear at 7000rpm...

my speedo ( r31 wagon ) only goes to 180 kmh and i.m not running a signal to the rb25de ecu . SOOOO when i race at the salt lake in speed trials the speedo neddle just starts bouncing off the stop . The faster i go the bigger the needle bounces . Sooo when its bouncin really big i know i,m goin fastest ( the tacho keeps on goin up ) Best speed is 226 kmh electronically timed .

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
