    its a long standing member of GTROC. there are questions about the validity of the speed, but no doubts about the cars ability to actually do it.

    he had the Apexi limit 5th @ 5k so 200 once set up would be possible.

    You need a LOT of power to crack 200mph in a skyline because it's not the most aerodynamic car

    It has approx. 800bhp I believe. I've had that vid for about 2 weeks.

    Silly or not, if you can do it, then why not ?

    I don't think he tuned it that much so he could nip to Tesco's and back on a Sunday.....
    If you have any car care related questions, ask me in the Cleaning/Detailing section.

    Mixed feelings here mate, but the phrase 'Time and a place' spring to mind.

    Don't get me wrong, i am not the most law abiding person when it comes to speed limits, and i have seen just shy of 160 on a public road, but it was late at night/early morning, so very minamal traffic.

    Thing is it is dangerous but when your driving you get the urge to drive faster sometimes. However if I'm a passenger in someone's car I shite meself if they go over a 100 dont care where it is! It's weird! But Oh yeah that Skyline is a monster!!

    It's because if you're a passenger you have no control over the car, but when you're driving it you can do whatever you want.

    Yeah I figured it was something like that. I wonder if it's the same with flying? I hate flying, always think something's gonna go wrong! Wonder if it would be different if you were actually flying the plane?? Hmmm!
