Mine used to see 135mph on a regular basis... Yes, REALLY on a real race track...

Matt, haven't you gotten a VE up near 160ish?

 

WTF really? ive heard of some Z31 with VG30E reaching the infamous 300km/h but ive been waiting to hear about a 3rd gen with VE or VG getting to there or close, if you did get a VE to 260km/h youre my hero

What ever happened to this guy anyway?

 

dudes insane!

i wonder if anything would have been different if he had no passengers?

 

That crap might work on old cars but these new cars are way to delicate to just throw crap in them. Besides, they make stuff that you can pour in your engine before the oil change to help you flush it all. No need to go ghetto on your engine.

 

Dude's stupid, not insane. Driving with all those people in the car and on a highway that other people drive on, image a blow out happened at that moment? Everyone would be dead.

 

I'm pretty sure most of us VE guys have done something similar when we were younger.

I (stupidly) took my original skyblue VE auto up to 142 when I was about 17, and I had my twin brother and best friend as passengers. I wanted to peg out the speedo but got scared. Looking back on that, I can't believe how stupid that was of me.

But, yeah, VE's can do 150mph+ no doubt. I could've sworn Matt (or some other old-timer) got a VE up to 160ish and verified with a cop friend's radar gun or some such.

Back on topic now..

 

Yes I only hear of this story, but wish I could see the thread

 

as far as engine flush i dont recommend it. you could end up with more problems.
but i only would do it if its all sludged up. If you change your oil religiously your good.
Hey if its not broken dont fix it.

 

We actually do this on our fleet, mainly just the diesel engines. We've seen a marginal improvement, of course a lot that went away when they swapped over to a bio-diesel mixture.
