All fair does saying that the engine will have more power but then it's all down to the gearbox i mean will it actually allow 160+mph

What engines in the skyline mate?
Isnt the GTST the 2.0 litre turbo?

As for top speed, hit the limiter in my 8 valve golf (about 125) Kept hitting the limiter in the Prelude (JDM restricted to 112mph) Derestricted that, got to about 140 in it.

Had the Teg up to 140 on the clock, got there pretty sharpish, reckon it could hit a GENIUNE 150.

Pic shows it at about 110 (indicated of course) and it got up to about 113/114 (again indicated) - this was on a slightly downhill stretch of the M25 in the 1.poo beastie
