I just hit 143 Monday morning, (3:45am, and NO, I wasn't drinking, COMPLETELY SOBER!!! Don't drink and Drive!!!) I was just driving home from a friend's house and a new Civic SI was messing with me. I finally got pissed and downshifted, I got the jump on him and got a nice lead. At the top of 4th gear and into 5th (110-125ish range) he was gaining on me, but after 130, (and once the road started to level out) I started to pull away again. I slowly let off at 143ish... I wasn't scared, and I kept good control the whole time up and down the speedo. Oh, side note... The top was UP. I'm not sure how it would react with the top down... I don't think I'm going to check tho... No need to push my luck.

'93 Z32 Convertible,
No Mods as of yet.

 

I think the RB is more than enough power to do that kinda speed

it;s me Juan, Wanton, Bardabe etc etc. ha ha I've eh ionos i guess grown out of my wreck less stage?
it's still me 91, just eh hitting car puberty I guess. im not careless anymore but that dosent mean I don;t like to hit the straight away at buttonwillow raceway at WOT. the RB is god like ha ha RB25 + Laurel Turbo @ 12Psi. I'll post dyno sheets of it. I hope 250ish. for a stock parts RB. then later on built it when I can afford a daily driver. and make this my track only car.

 

So'd you feel that earthquake last night? Yeah off topic, sue me.

 

nope.
we don't get them in Chicago.

 

umm, where do you live Co-rat?

 

i managed to hit 150mph on my 90 300ZX N/A but got nervous when i saw it kept going faster because cars tha looked far away where close all of a sudden, but as far as teh ride it didnt feel bad the car felt stable

 

I'm assuming you were on a downhill slope to hit 150 in your N/A.

 

what he said. I was only able to get mine up to I think it was like 135ish.

 

145 on the flat.... seemed to be stopping around there, i doubt i could went much faster wtihout all teh time in the world on a straight and not the fear of the po po

 

Hi everyone. New to the forums. I hit 100 mph but the front bumper area made strange noises. not to mention my trans totaly sounded like crapo.

 

I do believe i could've hit 150 in my Z. I just didn't trust the feeling of the car at that speed.

 

I've only had the Z to ~130 myself, both on the freeway and on the track. I did manage to cruise along thru eastern AZ at a decent speed for a little bit a coupla weeks ago.



Here I'm cruising at the legal speed limit in west texas. Close to 500 miles worth.

 

well today i got to run against an TT RX7. he didn;t beat me too bad. but I feel good that my RB @ 12PSi kept up with his set up. he was also boosting 12Psi but had a few more upgrades. neverthe less he said my car is pretty bad *** for being only a high school kid.

 

you got dissed ^^^^ lol....

 

whatever, lol he was like 35 at the least. he was a cool guy though. he found it really hard to believe that my set up was stock minus the FMIC and HKS Intake. popped His hood and saw a bunch of shiny things... I was like damn. ha ha still. I hate street racing, but i just couldn;t pass a Wangan run with a TT FD3S

 

Im kinda late othis post i gess but, Im stationed in germany right now and i drive the autobahn about every day, I dont have my Z over here but friend of mine, does hes a got a 350 with a few mods but nun the less still a N/A
Now my Turbo Bora (VW) hits about 135 and holds it with ease, but this 350 can pull up to me at 135 and down shift into 4th and leave me looking like im not moving at all. He can hold 160 in 6th rather easy, Up grade your suspension intake exaust and ECU and i gess thats all you got to do to those things

 

ya i haven't hit 140 on my z but i have hit at least 120 (in souther california traffic...lol ya i know dangerous) but anyways when i let go of the gas and start to brake my front end shakes...i'm guessing thats my suspension right?

 

noooo, that's your brakes.

 

rotors to be more precise

 

warped rotors that can't be "Turned" and need replacement along with new pads to be exact.

 

supercharged 350z, 450 rwhp = 160mph.......... on the 95 heading up to durango.

 

But for the record, you're not supposed to have them turned off the car. They're supposed to be cut with an on-car lathe, which can only be found (really) at dealerships. If the rotors are warped, replacing them is the best bet.


And the fastest I've gone (since I gather that's what this thread is about) was 145 in 4th gear (that's about 7,281rpm)... it was when I was running about 26psi on the GT2530s in the red Z.

 

was that the accident run or a different time?

 

Actually, it was after the engine was already blown... LOL. I had blown it a couple days before and said "f*ck it, if it's already done for, I may as well have fun" so I took a trip up to Great Lakes Dragaway with her... unfortunately, we didn't make it there in time to race (I had work at Speed Freak during the day and had to swap in a driveshaft and test pipes afterwards), so it was a trip to Wisconsin for nothing, but I got up to 145 on the way there.

 

thats alot of psi..... how'd she blow?
