hahaha they really do
I loved to do it in Japan where the chances of getting caught were slim to none, but in Cali I'm scared to break 90 Mph.

previas are awesome, nothing like having to lift up the drivers seat to do an oil change.

Not sure how accurate that 170mph is, but wouldn't doubt it with the power the car is putting down.
Juan, find me a 2jz, and we'll go for some runs LOL! (Wanna race from a roll?) :D
Probably the only nice thing about having an auto 240 is the lack of a fuel/speed cut. You've seen those 180mph speedos for the S13 right? I'll probably get one of those and see how far I can bury the needle ... at the track... yeah ;)
Originally wanted an RB S30 but one of the limiting factors was the poor aerodynamics--owners saying it felt like hitting a wall around 120mph, which kinda makes Wangan Midnight so ironic.
This guy seems to have most of it solved though:

Back on topic, what music do you listen to for wangan runs? Wangan: Max Tune is pretty good, as well as the stuff from the anime. Eurobeat once in a while, but that seems more suited for the twisties hehehe

Getting the Twin Turbo 2J Is not a problem. getting all the other things to make it pass the US ref is the expensive and hard Part. but im working on it. don't you worry. one sick S13 is coming, up. you should look into the VQ35HR set up. 07/08 HR engine. 05/06 6 Speed Trans. with Bolt on's will be insane and i got most of the wiring figured out too!
I'm hoping to have the VQ35DE Running with the Stock ECM by this weekend IF and only IF everything goes good / according to plan.
I usually dont listen to any music when im out cruising / looking for wangan. I listen to my Car. for any knock or weird noises. that would be masked by the music. haha yeah thats what i tell everyone that asks me to race, I tell em only if we go from a 90mph roll. at that point 99% of them has backed off. lol.

you guys do realize that wangan is a road right? im guessing it has something to do with the bay.
kinda like saying i miss 101 or I-5ing.
Dignity

i guess wangan, in this sense, is a verb, rather than a noun lol.

I always wondered what i could top my ka-t out if it weren't for this god damn governer, i get owned by stock jetta's after 115mph, fail.

Feels that way because you've never driven a car with balls. lol

Stock gearing can get you past 140 with ease.

I've driven a BMW up to 140mph before at the El Toro air base when I used to work security there.
That shit was a blast.

I dont think people should go past 140 on a 240, those things are unstable. Only thing i got fast enough for the wangan is my bike, went 180 on it. Never will do that again.

out here in good ole south dakota, we can hit 150 and hold it for a while, as long as a fuzz buster is helping out with keeping an eye out, cops are pretty nice out here, for the most part...

you just need suspension, I did a little over 160 on my Last S13. it felt perfectly fine other than the flapping fenders. My Z32 still can use some foot work. it dosent feel as good at around 155

Wow i never heard of a s13 going that fast haha. How fast will the gearing on a 240 let you go?

Well I've seen some pretty interesting things on the Highway, as far as cars racing, It's funny when i see random cars racing each other. I think wangan keeps things interesting when a RWD or FWD take on AWD, my friends FD was fun to watch against a Z06

[note to self: need to check speedometer once in a while, rather than just running down the freeyway in tunnel vision mode lol]

haha i only do that when the car feels funny. so i can keep check of my car's limit to date. I still dont feel safe after 155 on my Z. I really need Tension rods, RUCAS's , FUCA's and a Good Aligment

Dont RB's have crappy gearing? My friends RB is at like 4k at around 75MPH. I'm too scared to go fast on my car around here, way too many cars haha.

I just need a new car. Period. lol
The mustang's good and all, but i really need to set that aside to fully restore it while i work on the soon-to-be-mine 90 240sx. Only test driven it out on the streets (if you would even call them streets) so i have NO idea what its standing is against my mustang lol.
I wangan naked in my dreams all the time :zzz::2f2f:

If had a car worthy of high speed runs I'd be into it. Stock KA just doesn't cut it lol.
Bardabe, finish up the VQ wiring. Wait, which wiring are you doing right now? VQ35DE or VQ35HR? After talking to Dave, I'm all about the HR. Shit is tits.
I'm seriously considering purchasing a wrecked Z so that I can get everything ready for CARB legal status once Dave finishes.
