The limit is the limit , the maximum speed would be whatever the gearing would support at maximum engine revs , doesnt do any engine much good to be sat at max rpm for long

Just a point on speedo inaccuracy

My speedo read 168mph on my speedo when i recorded this , at 70mph my speedo was about 6 mph out but its wrong to assume the level of inaccuracy is consistent for a start the tyre circumference really starts to grow at high speed.

This was on my Evo 6 with over 380hp and I was on one of the longest runways in the UK (RAF Marham) , was frustrated not to top 150mph the official speed recorded with a Vbox was 149.95mph

Conditions were less than ideal , stopping was interesting to say the least but this guy managed 218mph during a lull in the weather

Can also be fitted in the chubby box as per my thread last week

I'm considering the auto as well , my Skyline was tiptronic and my daily Skoda is the 7 speed dsg which is awesome

Tim is in Gosport , Hants

Thought it might be based on the supplying dealer , shame its too far for me

Is it still for sale and where are you based ?

Makes a good case for one of these.

To give a good background the tuner built this Evo X for a customer it was a 600hp build costing around £25k , he used to car to show of to potential customers including this 90+mph blast past a school in a built up area , the engine fialed shortly afterwards any the customer has been l;eft high and dry , over a year on this are still going on trying to get the guys money back

or this one, where two mechanics took a Monaro for a blast

When i had my GTST it had a power fc on it so I would set the upper rev limit to 3500rpm when it was likely to be driven by anyone else, took it for an mot once and the lad who drove it from the front of the garage to the back told me the car had a terrible misfire at 3500rpm , I replied why the hell are you driving above 3500rpm just running it around the unit??

Mate of mine bought a Skyline GTST with patchy service history so first thing he did was book it in for a service and belt changes to be safe , the garage did the work and then the son of the garage owner took it for a "road test"

Poor guy never even got chance to drive the car on boost

Before

After

never even heard of that one

Happened to me twice when i had this , the kids loved to undo the bonnet pins, it would float up at about 50mph

In your grandads day it may have been true but just think where the fuel pick up is ?

Only crud that's floating on the top of the fuel would be drawn in when the tank is close to empty

Let's not forget the man was a terrorist as well ! He wasn't always a peaceful man

I have the 400hd , wired it to the back of the cig lighter , dont have it running when the car is parked as thats not an issue for me

Had it on my Skyline before, looking at getting another for my daily

Once you pay cash into your account then its yours , a fraudulent transaction whether it be bank transfer, cheque or bankers draft all can be reversed !!

It values my 313 HR 57 plate at around £7700, good luck getting an HR for that money !!

I wash mine in the sink with fairy liquid and leave to dry on a radiator

Don't you have to fill out your driving licence details when filling out the V5?

 

But as I said before I visited my bank to get it, these are not normal cheques anymore, but if in doubt contact the bank that issued it. If the person is trying a scam would he want you to do it?

 

I have bought/sold a good few cars this way and never had a problem.

No you don't have to its optional

Well when I done a Bankers Draft for the purchase of my 350z, I went to Barclays the first checked the money is in my account then once I filled out a request for it (pin id as well) they took the money straight out, she showed me the new balance. Then she advised me that the Bank guarantee the money to the person getting it and if they banked with Barclays it clears instantly, so I would say its as good as cash. Paul

This is how the scam works

Someone dishonest gets hold of some banking details/identity suchlike OR a dishonest person in the bank just says they have checked the relevant ID's and issues a bankers draft to the criminal.

Crim goes and finds your car and they pay you with the draft , you bank the draft and the funds are immediately credited to your account UNTIL the fraud is discovered at which point the issuing bank can and WILL recall the money.

You will have lost your car and whilst its fraud its not theft and even if you catch the guy who paid you with the dodgy draft then the Police will not help you get your money back and will tell you its a civil matter.

The bank will not guarantee the money if fraud is involved , read the small print !!

The same goes for direct bank transfers , if fraud is involved the bank WILL reverse it so always check i.d's

I'm not saying never take a bankers draft or a bank transfer but check passport and or driving licence and take a photocopy of both , but there is no argument that cash is a lot simpler and safer

Have a read of this !! http://www.pistonhea...306426&f=23&h=0
