Highest top speed

Does anyone know the de-limited top speed of the R and obviously on private roads, who has hit the highest ?? Infact who has done the highest top speed in any car?

Ive read on a standard gearbox that its between 160 & 170 Obv depending on how healthy your engine is to pull you threw to 170, but don't forget speedo's arnt accurate at that speed so unless you recorded it via GPS then im not to sure

Dunno about the r but highest I've been is 186 mph 650bhp supra

Most I've done personally is 160 on my blade and 140 in a mates evo so nothing really fast

I think its 157mph i remember reading it on some write up with specs ...

No nomad I thought they were limited to 155??? That would mean they went to all that trouble for 2 mph

They went to the effort to limit them to a 112mph mate ... 

163mph on the satnav on the Autobahn in Germany, standard engine and turbo running 1.2 bar boost this was the result

Most I've been I the passenger seat was about 180 with my dad in a Porsche GT2 and a Ferrari 458, did about 175-180 in both but can't remember wich on we actually hit the magic 180 in lol

Most I've done was in my Clio 172 I got the speedo just touching 150 and it had about 500 rpm left to go, it had the rev limit raised to around 8k rpm though

^^ ouch

Awww bless its never nice to see the conrods popping out to say hello ....

I know that's why I transplanted it with a forged one from Bob   

Standard top speed according to Nissan brochures is 146mph...don't know if that's same for uk and import

Crikey, what rpm's were you doing?

The quickest in a car was my old focus at 137 and on my old 600 I managed to hit about 158.
Think you will find Bob will win this...

  round the clock at 220mph in the gtr and same speed on my hayabusa and kwaka zx12r but allowing for speedo inaccuracy im guessing all were around 200ish mph
fastest ive seen on the clock in a gtir was my old 468bhp black one which I wound up to 175 but it felt like the thing was gonna shake to pieces at that speed, certainly wouldn't wish to go faster in one


spike.........that was some impressive damage you did there.
it does make a mess when that happens   

just over 140 in my R - had standard breaks so i shit myself and came off the go peddle before it was impossible to slow down in time !

155mph on standard boost, backed off but looked like it was still wanting to go more

I have a receipt/ speedo check for my white R only thing is they miss shifted into 3rd ie it did not go in first time third was classed as void. It was done before I got the car aint looked at sheet since but it this something many people can do etc ? mine read 166 mph racing a 1000cc gxsr what do they do flat out ? as I passed him but remember wind against him would of been massive ie he probably had more to go

I'v had 155mph in the R and 165mph on the zx6r but don't know how accurate so maybe 150mph in reality

Dous being in killometors still count?    I was off the clock last night pushing a poobaru so god knows what I was doing?

Had my r go off the clock, would guess it to be 155ish

No Gaz your clocks are inferior to our MPH ones and they lie!!!   

I put this up a while ago on an ECU thread, and its the calculated speeds (as a function of RPM) of a GTiR based on a standard gearbox (RA) and 195/50R15 tires:



177 MPH @ 8000rpm in 5th. Apparently.   

This can easily be changed depending on gearbox and wheel/tire size.

i always thought the standard gearbox was limited to 155mph

You could be right, as this table was made for bigger-than-standard wheels+tires (195/50R15 instead of 195/55R14), plus the fact that the standard rev limiter will kick in before 8000RPM. So 155 MPH seems plausible given a stock set of wheels and limiter.
