I didn't know that the V8 ones had an aluminum shaft. Thanks for pointing that out for my bone yard run!

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
this is @ the guys who said my 2.8 700r4 wont do 137. dont know whats wrong with yours, but mine does it and still has a little room left. as i said i dont know what was done to the car before i bought it. and it doesnt get there fast but it gets there. nuff said. and also when you lose your license for 90 days and have to payy 1000 in fines, then you can tell me i didnt go 137 in a 55.

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
lol your gonna out run a busa.... man even with a turbo on my 3.4 a busa is gonna walk all over me...and sure as hell gonna kill whatever you do to your 2.8, or any other motor your gonna put in there. yes i know how fast they are ive rode one, and i own a 04 R1. hell ill drive there to see that..what are the plans i have to know
if his face looks anything like the face of a guy i raced( 95 eclipse tried to race me in a 94 chevy g20 VAN with a 350/700r4, he didnt stand a chance, when i looked in the mirror and saw his face, it was PRICELESS), then it would be well worth it.
now, im not claiming that i can just slap this motor in the car and expect it to outrun a busa. but i am claiming that i can do it with a carefully setup car, with lots of work.
Hell, look on youtube for a R33 skyline outrunning a busa, or any car for that matter, then tell me it cant be done with the right setup in a 3rd gen.

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
quick question though, what are the things that make a 2.8 sound like a 350??? aside from a thrush welded on a single pipe exaust with a hollowed cat(even with the complete exaust untouched, new cat and muffler before i put the others on, it still sounded like a 350)
quite daily people think i have a 305 or 350.

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
you can try and mimic it...but like what has been said before...v6's don't sound like v8's. its like making a 350 sound like a 454.

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
My 92 rs with the 3.1 topped out at 100 it just wouldn't go any faster.
I agree with the "nothing makes a v6 sound like a v8" but to the coment of make a 350 sound like a 454, i have made a 260 olds v8 sound like a 454. It was runing straight pipe and sounded like a 454 with a muffler.

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
If you topped out at 100 either you have a governor/limiter or something is seriously wrong with your engine or drivetrain...my 3500 lb lumina with all the aerodynamic properties of a brick, and the same engine topped out at 106, governed....
So if its not limited, might want to start checking things...

Re: V6 TOP OUT take it to the limit
Today I opened my RS on the interstate and hit 70mph.Thats right I did the speed limit.Although I did punch it to get there b/c of some Ford van that decided he couldnt do the 70mph speed limit practically stopped in front of me.
Top speed in RS 75mph (have only owned it 3 weeks and havent gone completely through it plus 70 is the speed limit)
Top speed ever 158mph on a 1997 Suzuki TL1000 (almost died the last time I did it and now I dont speed)
With age comes intelligents. I have learned years ago that if I need to speed I take the car down to the 1/8 mile track down the road.Will update my RS top speed once it has made it there.
