What's the highest speed?

[SexySilverST-X]

Hey peeps. It's been a while..... I was actually offshore for a bit....anyway..... I'm trying to find out what's the maximum speed anyone has gone with a 6fwd manual LE. 2.5turbo..... I can't seem to get me passed 180kmh.

Bloody D40 drivers lol

Don't think you're built to be race cars dude lol. Skylines are built with speed limiter to 180... Maybe same same but different?

Haha all bloody hoons!

 

[SexySilverST-X]

Has anyone ever removed the speed cut on the d40?

I'm not 100% if they have one, it was a suggestion based on the coincidence with the Skylines maxing out at 180 until being bypassed

There are a few youtube clips with them getting to over 180..

I would have thought it would be a gearing and revs limitation..what revs are you pulling at 180 in 6th? I know im very high revs in 6th at the 150 mark....not sure id have the legs to do too much more

We had 1.8T behind us at 130km/h, but that's as fast as I've ever gone because there's nowhere (that I've been) in Australia that allows you to go faster.

Hasn't parts of the northern territory gone back tp open speed limits again.you might have to give it a crack with the van behind you!

We're towing an extra 700Kg these days, be interesting to see how it handles that - all up we're 5.5T on the road. Yes it would be interesting to see how the 2.5L handles 160+km/h!

Stopping for skippy could be the problem I reckon!

Don't think there'd be much skippy left to worry about at that speed hahahah

If I had an Autobarn style road to drive on I'd give the top speed a crack but in this country the only roads like that are to well patrolled.

Haha it would be crazy to even try it.

Don't forget most of the light truck tyres max out shortly after 130km depending on your tyres speed rating.

I'd be scared they would fall apart, specially with a bit of weight!!

not built for speed 180 and you run out of revs in a 22

 

[andrew0]

I'm sure I read that they are limited. Have to flash the ecu I think. Should have a go on a dyno.

you'd be surprised what ad22 can achieve downhill!

With a cyclonic tail wind. 182km I reckon

I've heard stories of a chipped d22 making 190 down a long long hill.
Obviously it must have been carried out on a long stretch of private property.

 

[gadgets]

I must say, from the few times I've been in a d40, they feel a hell of alot safer at speed compared to my d22!!
