How fast?

[Assasin11-17]

Took my car on the toll road last night. Got her up to 250 klicks on the guage before I backed down. I was running out of road. I know that you can't tell true speed from the guage but that is where the needle was at.
So what is your top speed?

Be safe.

I find that funny

146mph coming down a slight hill. Car handled it very well, it was just planted. I don't think I would have tried in the Stang.

It's called calculated risk. Think about before you do it. Some people don't.

1 mph = 1.6
1 kph = .6

146mph = 233kph

nice

Quick question, how did the car feel at that sort of speed? or where you to busy hanging on to take much notice?
The Skyline is a nice heavy car, so should sit well on the road, but thier not the most areodynamic bricks ever built, I should imagine it would want to move around a bit.

that's insane!!! did you wear a helmet?

The R32s are not as bad as the R33s or R34s, at 146 it was very stable. I was actually suprised at how well it felt. Seemed to be at home, if you know what I mean.

I only tried it once, getting a ticket at that speed. Well, I think I would need to invest in some running shoes

Damn guys aren't you worried about the cops and safety of others? High speed though.

[Assasin11-17]

cops are not much of a problem where I am at. The road I take is a mostly quite straight way so I can always see others up ahead. But it is a relatively short lengthof road.

haha by the time a cop would take off after clockin you , man youd be gone with the wind, all the cop would hear is the ambient sound of a whoosh as u pass him by , hick cop would be like "um i just clocked a car going 150, dont know what it was , it was too fast, must have been one of them new toyotas"

Trust me Razor, I am never going to do that again. Highest speed I go to know is 85mph, thats it.

[NiteskyR]

tony , no 70 mph !!

[SkylineUSA]

Yes, the Queens Motorways only 70.

I ment 85km/h, ya thats it...85km/h

One of the Australian mags had a high speed comparison on a airport runway.
An R34 (clutch, exhaust, boost) which did 4.5secs to 100km/h (timed) did a top speed of 256km/h within the space. Dodge viper got 280 something and the porsche GT2 got 302km/h.

[Nemesis]

Had my old 25t up to 257km/h once....... at least that's what the 300km/h speedo said, it may have been lying to me.

Does the GTR use a VSS (vechile speed sensor) or a cable driven speedo?

Im guessing that for the ATESSA and HIACS to work the ECU would need an acurate measure of the cars speed, which would require a VSS.
And its a bit silly to install a VSS and then have a seperate cable driven speedo, its actualy easier to drive the speed from the ECU. (same as all Honda's from about 1990 on, and infact most Japanese cars from about 90 on)

If they are fitted with a VSS then chances are that even at 250+kmh the speed will still be acurate, probably to within only a few kmh.
