I know you’re not comparing a turbocharged 3.0 v6 to a lame n/a 2.4 I4. You just want to feel good, driving a Z31 and all. I wanted people that still have thier KA24E to have something to strive for like getting to 5500rpm in 5th. Anyway with stock height tires 7500rpm in 4th is good for 136 mph on all S13s, and 5th is good to 179 mph for those with the power to pull that gear. Driving whatever you want as long as it’s nissan is what were about. But nobobody knows how to defeat the SR ECU speed limiter short reprogramming or speed limit defencer.

You could always install a carburated big block chevy engine. That doesn’t require a computer to run. 😃

Might affect the handling slightly though… 🙂

Course, that didn’t stop a few guys from installing a 5.0 in a 2nd gen RX-7.

I got all you gusy beat. My civic has a 1.8 N/A with low compression pistons for a turbo and without hiting v-tec in 5th I am already doing 200. Thats at 5 grand and redline is 8. Take that. I still have 3 grand to go so I bet it will do 250. I would never go that fast. car will prob bounce off the road.

I did the math allen…if thats correct, at redline (assuming you had the power) you would be doing 320 km/h.

Doesn’t sound like he has enough stickers on the car to go up that high, but thanks for doing the math. 😉

Besides, a civic in Lethbridge’d be lucky to stay on the road and not be blown off into a freakin’ pasture by the nasty crosswinds. 😃

You think your Skyline is hot? Try racing my McLaren, BIOTCH! 😃

Ok, well, I don’t really have a McLaren - but if I did…you’d all go down. But not in the car, you might wreck the upholstery. :E

I did a bit of digging tonight, and bench raced as stock the Spec V is slightly faster than the 240:  
Year, Model, 0-60, 1/4 Mile  
1991 Nissan 240SX SE 7.9 16.1  
2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V 7.3 15.6

Now, the only chance a Spec has to beat a 300ZX Turbo is if it is an automatic and the auto somehow gets a bad launch…(like, we might as well say never)  
1991 Nissan 300ZX Turbo(auto) 7.0 15.4

Any Manual transmissioned 300ZX pretty much lays a beating on the Spec, with the best being:  
1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 5.2 13.8

As for the Skyline, well, I imagine that’d be pretty ugly too. So, there you go…discuss. 😃

(Times found at [http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-60times.html](http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-60times.html) and are probably not very scientific.)

The only limiter I hate on the SPEC is the REV limiter. It’s really great that it shuts your fuel off too shortly there after. :roll:

As for speed… well I have had mine buried on a 140 mph speedo. I realize there is some inaccuracy at that speed but it still had pull. The SPEC V is gearing limited at 150-something mph.

Here’s a little East Coast Vid… I don’t quite bury it here, but there are some runs there where I’m at 130 mph. Playing with a friend of mine in a Teg. You don’t see him much though. I didn’t have a rearview camera. 🙂
