Can you imagine how fast we'd go in space? :rock:

Oh wait, no air = no combustion. Dammit.

Don't set me up just to knock me down meanie

I've seen video's where people put their car on the dyno and show a view of its speedo to be like 'LOOK my (insert car) can go faster than top speed b/c of the mods i put in. yes, their mods may have made their car faster, but the biggest mod was taking out the wind resistance.

And let's not forget those NISMO stickers. You know they add about +50HP! Everybody knows that....sheesh!

Hey guys Im new here. Could anyone tell me what the best intake is for my Z?

HKS. They cost the most so they are the bestest.

:koolaidwall:

I think we set my speed limiter to 5300mph. For some reason the uprev software allows more than 3 digits for speed limiter...should've made it 1337.

Get a supercharger like GTM's or Stillen's or get a 911!

It's a safety thing really, you don't want to hit the limiter unexpectedly when other cars are on top of you. Quite why they call it a safety feature is beyond my comprehension as it only makes things worse.
I've got faster wheels, tires, premium racing fuel. It's all a doddle really and quite comfortable/sedate - in comparison to a full-on sports car that would be ~2/3rds weight of the 370z and 550Bhp.

I'm wondering if the US models have different suspension tuning and possibly gearing to give you folks the impression it's top speed is 165 and it's unstable?

Just a thought. Most of the US cars I've had in 20 years of traveling over there are relatively squishy/comfy in comparison to European setups. I wonder if your Nissimo is more like our standard 370z? Just a idea.

140-150 in the Z (US) is perfectly fine, have not gone beyond that so cannot say but to go beyond those speeds you really need to be putting down some bigger numbers or much longer straights. Hope you have a tune for that premium racing fuel.
What track(s) have you been on that you are topping out the Z?

And if all else fails, try this Flux Capacitor [FLUX62] - $175,000.00 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!

Good Luck! :tup:[/QUOTE]

Can they overnight this? My mom died in October and I want to see her this weekend to ask where she put a couple of things. (then I'll put it back on the car!) RP :tiphat:
