I think you will find that 180 is VERY easy in a GTR.

In the GTS-GTT they max out at about 180 @ 7k ( rev limit ) so if you have enough power to get your car to pull 8k in top you should just about be on the wrong side of 200.

I think you will find there are quite a few people on here who, on private roads, have seen these sort of figures ( myself included ).

Hope that helps.

 

nice

 

Its about power, a std GTR should do about 155-160 id say, but itd not get there that fast- ie on the M5 rather than brunters.

8k in top is a genuine 200mph+ if i remember right, i think 7500 is a tiny bit under 200.

Youl need a fair wack of power to do it, but not THAT much- but Rocket Ronnie managed 200+ a few times in the confines of Brunters with about 650bhp, and even just under that from 1.2 mile standing start at TOTB!
Youd do it with a lil less power, given the room (ie a clear motorway!).

How quick u get there is most relevant tho- Many supercars can top 180/190/200, but most take a long time to get there- I know from past races that even when u race somthing with a far higher top speed (ie 200odd) but you got better power to weight, you get such a lead to say 160/170 that by time they get to a higher speed than you can go, youve accelerated over the horizon and out of view and won the race anyhow!

 

I was looking on the web not that far back, most places I looked said 165 mph top speed as standard.

But then again is that like the GTR only having 280 bhp as standard !!

Not only do you need to sign away all your money to own a skyline, you need to be a professional researcher !!

Still I ain't complaining !!

over 165 is possible i have seen it on continent in france and was still going at that speed so yeah 180 is possible

 

whats the top speed of a standard gts-t then?

I DUNNO?? Never seen a Standard one

 

lol

Reckon around 155. 160 downhill with following wind....

 

Dont forget clock speeds are a million miles away from real speed, so jus cause your clock says 170 that dont mean owt, calculate it from revs in 5th, or somthing like a GPS.

My estimates from thinking about reality is a standard (ok, maybe an exhaust) GTST would do around 150, and a GTR a little higher, 160, but thatd take a LONG time (ie neither would get that in brunters say), as neither has much power really.

Top speed is irrelavant unless you get there a lot faster than the other car your comparing it to...

Slightly off subject, GTSM, says you drive a "Track Weapon" jus wondered what the spec is?

 

My car manages 120mph with great ease, which (with mind that the brakes are not great) is plenty fast enough for a spank down the A's and B's... Early Sunday, no traffic.. private rd.. etc.

yup, I remember biking friends coming back from France with stories of an indicated 190mph (new ish R1's etc)... I doubt if that's even close, more likely 170. Makes you think though, at that speed you can sneeze and have missed an entire village (apparently)... Scary thought.

 

errr... you can get them to go off the end of the speedo.

 

On a GTR in standard form an indicated 160+ and still pulling is very easy. Speedo compared to GPS shows mine was 12% fast until I went to 18's and now I'm within 4%.

Off thread bjg are you the silver 32 that was in Chichester last weekend?

Paul

 

yes that'd be me... are you the white r33 gtr (doh as your avatar would suggest)... on the road between chi centre and the new Homebase?
Apologies for the cheesy grin & manic stare; although there must be a few skylines around, I never seem to see them driving!

 

Yes that was me, although there are a number locally ( most Portsmouth side I was still taken aback to see you in the town.
I did wave but you were obviously as shocked as me.

 

nah i know when i had 165 on speedo is probably only 150 was still good fun


steve - havent clue yet as dont know when will be back on road
am trying to move house and get her rebuilt at mo is basically r33 gtst with few mods am going for weight loss instead as havent got money for engine rebuild and turbo at mo will be good fun
dont want to prove anything just have good fun quick car i should
change my signature at some point

lee

 

yup, even my car hating girlfriend - who hopes to sell my car and go shopping with the proceeds - was impressed at seeing another skyline locally.
As I live near Chi I may see you around again... Next time I'll remember to wave!

(apologies for staying off thread)

 

Re The girl friend, I know the feeling. Mine says she is not interested, although very knowledgeble about the whole Skyline scene. I think the truth is she feels excluded coz she hasn't got one and whilst it may be possible to get her one insurance is definately a no no!

Re The girl friend, I know the feeling...Paul

My girlfirend is covered (3rd party) on my car, but she won't drive it, reckons it's scary. She's not the most confident driver though!

When I told her that my car was going to 'risingsun' for a new cambelt she said:

"...if you buy any more for that car before we go on holiday, then I'll search the car and remove it, even the cambelt thingy; if I can find it..." LOL

 

My R32GTR red lines (7.5k RPM) in forth gear at 120 so I dont think the top speed is going to be much past 150 but I do have the standard 16 inch wheels still.

 

I touched 170 on a certain motorway at 4 am as indicated by my road angel and there was more left in the tank.
