How about 222mph in a Nissan Quashquia. Latest Vmax don't expect mine to compete with that in 2016 that's just plain silly .

Fascinating stuff

I'm assuming its the SVM one?

Shame there wasn't a slow motion replay!? Bit quick that....

Oh well, at least you have a benchmark to aim for Rod! I bet if that was the shape of a 1980's Sierra, it would be a bit slower...

ha ha what a flyer i take it that is the one with the gtr conversion and not just a school run mum late picking the kids up

Rod-Tarry

Yes it is
It is a awesome awesome car think im in love.

smiley

Kinel! !!!

jameswrx

I wouldn't be surprised if it's worse than a Sierra. They're the big 4x4 things aren't they?

Rod-Tarry

I agree with that a Sapphire is very good aero wise .

cossiestu

I was only watching it on my phone, couldn't really see what it was!? Lol

cossiestu

Lol Apart from when the corners of the bonnet start bending up!?

Rod-Tarry

That's true you could have got your fingers under it at 200mph. Scary stuff.

There's a svm black and yellow r35 skyline that go's to Andy Robinson's rod. Road legal Andy said it runs in the 8's and has about 1400bhp

Well done to Svm,what a achievement

Oranoco

That's impressive. I wouldn't like to drive a Nissan Kumquat at 80 they're horrible things

smiley

My mate owns gundam i call it gunbang! It's gone bang twice since he's had it about a year still awesome going for 1400 and we think over 500's expensive

ajamesc

No idea what it was called this is the car off there Instagram when I see it they was doing something to the flywheel and roll cage

I was there on Saturday. What an amazing event!
I had the use of a 620hp 997 turbo s cab(!) for the day.
Some beautiful machinery there, great to see it being used in anger!
Highlights for me were lining up alongside a Laferrari and getting ahead of him off the line(perhaps he wasn't trying?!)
Clocked '193 indicated' (actual speeds haven't been released yet)over the line time and time again but just couldn't top it. Just goes to show how much power you need to get the big boy 200!
Bloody addictive!

Here's me vs the big fezza...

Rod-Tarry

You now know just how blinkered it is to call Topspeed running boring. Ultimate Adrenaline rush & as you say addictive. Anything over 190 is a very fast car but around 100bhp short of 200mph. Lets not talk about that 222mph that's just mind blowing.

StephTell

I wouldn't say it's blinkered, the fact that it appeals to you doesn't nessecarily mean it appeals to others.

I've no interest in top speed running or a magic number to chase, but I can imagine it's a thrill to you.

ajamesc

Are you interested in incredibley fast road cars? If so how do you think a car that can hit these speeds feels on the move

fuzzy

The rows of car show bufty queens would say the same about those that slate their game. Or possibly not, maybe theyre not so blinkered.

They've done a few mate gundams a blue one bit gay naming cars like

Shit me😮 makes it look so easy too.

StephTell

I think you didn't quite understand what I ment:

I've no interest in topspeed record chasing like Rod is, but I think I understand what the thrill is for him.

Ofcourse these cars are insanely fast and ofcourse are very impressive, it's just that I'm not interested spending my time and money chasing these records.

I've recently bought a streetlegal dragbike because I love tinkering with silly bikes and I love playing aroudn with them on her majesty's roads but I've no interest in competing on a dragstrip and I don't care how fast it'll do the quarter mile (though I know it's errr...fast!)

M7 COS

What a weapon!

A bet all those people in their Ł200K+ cars were well happy getting beaten by a Nissan Qashqai!

stevieturbo

There'd be a lot more money than that in some, and a hell of a lot more in the Qashqai !!

Building cars to that sort of level sure isnt cheap, and 220+ is one hell of a level.

The GTR platform really is something special when it comes to going fast.

Top speed running isnt always exciting, huge wide runways can easily mask any real feeling of speed....but polishing cars etc is boring as fuck lol I'd sooner try and go fast than polish the crap out of the car for a bird to come and shit on it. Cars are for driving.

smiley

200k + and some doubt it gtr is 200 mph out of the box gundam at 239 was 120k

stevieturbo

You're deluded if you think you're getting that from 120k.

smiley

Give us a break down of costs then to arrive at your figure

clairendave

I couldn't even begin to imagine what the labour cost would be on the qashqai for the chassis swap alone, then the cost of both it and the gtr. One of those spiralling cost projects i would imagine.

smiley

Labour does it really come into it if your building it yourself as they have with that ? So your looking at base car gtr running gear and mods to level of tune way more than 200k+ mmm can't see it

fuzzy

id expect they would be factoring in labour costs as although they own the tuner they will be paying wages to their guys working on it.

Plenty of room for a zimmer frame in the back for you too!

smiley

Ok cost without "labour"

BigChuck

How was that car bought? Was tha 120 the budget given to a tuner to get that spec or was this a tuners car that they had ran n devloped then sold on?
