Is it inaccurate to depict Proceratosaurus with scales?
It's a tyrannosaur, make of that what you will.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liliensternus

At 5m in length, Liliensternus is the largest known, but easily surpassed by following early Jurassic theropods.

Wasn't Herrerasaurus up to 6m?

All the resources I've seen place it from 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet), so it might be likely, we just haven't found it.

Seismosaurus was reclassified as a species of Diplodocus if I remember correctly ;)
And I do believe there were larger ones, not counting the giant Amphicoelias which is almost a cryptid.

Back on the Triassic theropod, what about Gojirasaurus ? I know it's fragmented, but I thought it was larger ?

Isn't it the longest ? But I may be wrong.... Because of this.

Seismosaurus = Diplodocus hallorum
The big one is Amphicoelias.

the gojirasaurus fossil that was found belongs to a juvenile so it might be larger

The source from wikipedia
Quote:
 
The size of its tibia was 469 mm, which was comparable to that of Liliensternus (409 mm) and Dilophosaurus (555 mm)


and the source from about.com

About 18 feet long and 500 pounds

Some titanosaurs have been known to surpass Diplodocus hallorum (Seismosaurus) in length and weight for quite some time now. The largest sauropod known from decent material is Argentinosaurus (I think), though Bruhathkayosaurus may have been larger.

At the moment Liliensternus remains more complete, ergo, more certain. Herrerasaurus is an interesting case, given that its' size estimates jump between 3m and two times that in length. :P
