one for sale near to me with 500bhp, wandering ROUGHLY what sort of figures i would be looking at top end and acceleration. cheers

 

[marcyt21]

anybody??

 

[COSSYCam]

Genuine 175 though speedo will show 190plus
High 11sec qtrs @ 120mph +/- 5mph

 

[marcyt21]

why will the speedo show more?? what 0 -60

 

[Pikey]

Because speedos are innacurate. 0-60 is gonna be low fours or possibly high threes with a brutal launch and sticky tyres

GTR speedos are very inaccurate at high speed. My 34 will show over 225mph on a downhill stretch of private road. I bought a driftbox which has a GPS speedo that is deadly accurate.

 

[marcyt21]

so if i do 190, not that i will then i will actually be doing 175. how much is it to have the speedo adjusted and setup properly

Get a GPS speedo....job done

does any of you know if the nismo combination meter is any more accurate than the original?

 

[gtr3]

What do you guys reckon an R34 would do with 800-1000hp?

 

[tath]

It'll be somewhere between quick and fast I'd imagine. 200bhp is a lot.

The Nismo meters are not as bad but still optimistic

Maybe its just the R34 speedos that are inaccurate. When I ran my R32 at Bruntingthorpe I saw an indicated 160mph, and the speed trap I went through said 168mph. That was with roughly 420bhp

9.4 to 9.9 sec qtrs
gen 205-210 mph top end
0 - 100 mph in sub 6 secs
imo

Was that on std size wheels and tyres?
Fitting 19s and 275 rubber to my 34 made mine less oprimistic but it still over-reads. The 34 rev counter is also inaccurate by as much as 450revs at redline in some 34s.

 

[knight]

Its got 18s and 265s

 

[COSSYCam]

Its got 18s and 265s

The increase in rolling radius has over-corrected the speedo to the point that its reading slow . Stick 16s booted in 245 rubber and it will over read like crazy.

 

[knight]

No chance of putting 16's on any more, they won't fit over the AP's

I have the same problem. I bought some 10.5 x 18 TE37s and they will not clear my front brakes. They looked awesome on the rear as well wrapped in 295 rubber :bawling: :bawling:

Hi Cam,
That's a bit worrying as I was looking for 18s to go over my 380mm Brembos and was about to order some TE37s .....
What brakes are you running now ?
