Borgies have come in 3.90 and 4.11 in the skylines and pintaras, these diff centres are desirable for accelleration and will limit top speed of an auto to around 150-170 km/h. Some falcons also have borgies standard

Which ones are you talking about that will limit top speed to 150-170kph?Originally Posted by ucwepn

3.9:1 would limit to around 165 and 4.11 to around 150 on a stock n/a 6 VL. Not precise speeds but you get the idea. Stock VL's top out around 187 anyway.

and some 235...*shifty eyes*

My VL has 3.9's and it has seen over 180kph down the straight at wakefield park, and it is auto. But i guess being turbo helps too..lol

A VL's top speed is 187km/h yet you are saying you did 200 in 'power' mode which effectively is 3rd gear?
It was in third gear, I didnt touch overdrive at all. Had plenty more left in it, but the corner was approaching very quickly by that stage.

yeah same rb26dett... at 200kph it was only at 5000 rpm... still had overdrive to go and 1000rpm...

yes i can also state that my vl has had its dial around at the 200 mark which either show that the tops speed is wrong or the dash is out of wak, i reckon it would be the top speed judgement

VL CT's have a top speed of 218km/h stock apparently. Much higher than the n/a Rb30

hmmmm
i drove up here(Qld) from victoria with my 2 mates
one mates is a vl sl and the other was a vx commie
Mine 1986 vl Berlina(CAI with K&N Panel Filter, Extractors,Sports Zorst, Timing 20° approx. we did a speed test(stupid i know) in the middle of nowhere. mine was pinned at 200 on the dash with RPM still going up slowly showing that i was doing just over 200kms, and sitting nicely with the suspension:P
My mates SL was not going faster than about 188 - 190kms and the Vx well who cares Huh(vl drags it and wins ha)
So im tipping for some reason with the various models they have got speed limiters in some and not others.
Look powermode is meant to just stay in 3rd Gear(So revs are up for hills towing Etc). Powermode Off is just like an electronic 4th gear(overdrive) to get the revs down when cruising. We already knew that hey?
cheers fellas
Aint no family cruiser!!!
my vl didnt seem to have a limiter it got to 7200 and konked out till i lifted my foot from the fire wallat which point it fired up again...
