special question about speed sensor!
Is the speed sensor of the R limited or something? Lets say I drive 190mph, deas he still show and read the the correct value of speed?

Re: special question about speed sensor! (Reid)
What yes? I know it is inacurate, therefore I have the Apexi AVC-R which is hooked up to the speed sensor, but does the speed sensor read 190 mph or is he damgaged?

Re: special question about speed sensor! (Ddub)
Here is why I want to know about the speed sensor
Top speed vs AutoX TRANNY on 430bhp turboed ITR
I don' t know what to do.
I droved on the Autobahn for a Topspeed run with 4 people in the car (including me) and I maxed out at 265 kph indicated. From 200 - 265 it was such a RUSH, it took about 10 seconds I guess. This was with 1.2 Bar of boost, 608 mm tire diameter and 8800 revs (cut off)
Tranny is stock (we have JDM 4.785 final drive)
I can convert to USDM final drive (I have it at home already) to get a top speed for about 290 kph. But I will lose about 300 rpms for AutoX, which is not so good I think (for turbo lag).
I can convert to LS 5th gear for Top speed about 295, but this cost again money.
Perhaps converting to a larger finaldrive is better, cause I can get more power to the ground and therefore acceleration is better, or at least it is not bader than with a shorter fd.
Perhaps I can convert some rpms for AutoX with smaller tire diameter. And rise the redline about 300rpms to get some speed back again for the straights on autoX.
Perhaps a larger fd is also better for DRAG racing, cause of the better traction?
PS: A 6 gear tranny would be nicer.

Re: special question about speed sensor! (austrian type-R)
Have you tried simply running taller tires for an increased top speed?
Sure, indicated will be the same, but actual will be greater.

Re: special question about speed sensor! (austrian type-R)
I think you have enough power that the 300 rpm drop wont bug you. Actually, you'll probably find that staying in the gears longer will feel better. I have the ATS FD, and I drove an R with the stock one on monday. I'm used to redlining 3rd at 120kph. Stock is 140 
. I say go fo the USDM FD.

Yeah, I have the power, but turbo lag sux, I have now no problems with turbo lag on autoX events.

Re: special question about speed sensor! (austrian type-R)
Hu ?
Why running 290 km/h ?? Do it the right way and try to crack the 300kph....
You now exactly, this would be your next goal from that day on you drove 290.....that wouldn`t be enough for you..

Re: special question about speed sensor! (DutchITR1689)
what is the ITR top speed record.
Right Sven, I want to do 300+, just raise the Redline from 8800 to 9200 and hello magic 300

Be careful, have you seen the Mercedes LM CLR on Le Mans?

Couldn't find any pictures of that incident, but found this video: http://www.autofolie.org/download.php3?id=216
