Hey guys I'm curious. What is the speed limiter set at on a 1985 300zx 2+2 non turbo? I've only gotten it up to 120mph, but I ran outta road. Still no luck selling my 300zx. Anyone wanna buy one?

AZ-ZBum

no turbos don't have a speed limiter

WolfMan

if you ship to apo boxes

pete8717

So what's the fastest anyone has gotten a non turbo. I've gotten mine up to 120 and I would see if it goes higher, but I promised my g/f i'd quit speeding.

AZ-ZBum

I've seen an indicated 142 in my NA.

entropy31

had mine at 130 a few times. it coulda gone a little more, but it was getting pretty unstable so i backed off.

pete8717

Damn I envy you...

AZ-ZBum

Don't. I got nailed for 92 in a 65 as I was slowing down to "normal" freeway speeds.

WolfMan

I got the euro n/a to about 210 Klics, the US one to about 150 mph could go faster, but I have not finished replacing things, like a timming belt.

ps. It is best to use a GPS, because that is more correct than your speedo. Because mine was saying 140mph, but the GPS was saying about 148 mph. Remember, these things were made in the 80's they are not that accurate, plus they are getting worn out.

ive gotten mine to about 125 then ran outta running room. that was before my new exhaust. These cars get pretty scary when your going that fast

pete8717

I got caught doing 55 in a 25 around a corner on december 22nd.

91Zman

That musta been an expensive ticket

pete8717

Oh hell yeah it was. $246 bucks. I'm still paying it off. My bank account got drained because I bought new tires 2 weeks before...

I just got my 87 NA to 134 last night, but the freeway started turning a bit too much for that speed. I thought there was a 130 limiter on it hough?

pete8717

Nope thanks to AZ-Zbum I know that now. Thanks ZBum

I hit 105 the other night.. but that was in traffic with my throttle stuck.. so I don't think it counts.

WolfMan

lol, get rid of the rubber hose on your throttle cable!!!!!!

I got her up to 180 KM an hour, what is that in american? I keep forgeting to change it to american when I get on the auto bahn.

pete8717

That's only 113 mph bud...Come on your on the autobahn and you only went 113?

WolfMan

well, It was a curvy road and at night, tell you what, I will take a different route, a nice straight road, and see where i top out at.

pete8717

Rock on bud. Nice call safety wise. I made the mistake of hauling *** on a windy road and it almost resulted in a roll over, but luckily I was able to correct it just before it happened. That's why I don't speed at night unless it's in a straight quarter mile.

Around 147 on new tires and alignment on an Arizona highway. Man, are they smooth. That was the max it would go. I had a few things in the car and I was on a tiny incline. But, I am sure it could go a little faster, but not much. That was my '92 n/a. Still haven't had a chance to push my TT to the max. Maybe on another trip to AZ (inside joke for Entropy).

FreeLanceBum

Yeah, that happined to me one day. Scared the hell out of me at first, till I looked under the hood and busted the thing off right away.

jaffi

180 KM/hr is 111.85. Fast, but still within standard production car speeds. P*&^Y!

entropy31

hey dum dum, were talking about z31's here. if you decide to do another of your "little trips", come on up this way.

jaffi

You know, I have a bad habit of hitting the Z31 forums with my Z32 coolness . But, I know that the Z31 had pretty good speed to it. It had a little less power, but def. enough to hit 130-140.
