Do We Have A Speed Limiter?

[AlexCim]

The fastest ive been in the Stagea on a private road is 170km/h speedo km/h, but havnt been at/over 180km/h. Are we limited at 180km/h like other Japanese cars?

Probably people that have taken their cars to the drags would be best to reply as 180 is about 108mph, but i doubt anyones done a high 11/low 12 second pass with that trap speed.

There sure is a 180km/ph speed limit

[Burns]

They do but mine doesn't

It is a design rule in Japan as is cruse control than can't be set above 108km/h

[fergo308]

mine doesn't appear to. had it to an indicated 185km/h last weekend and it didn't stop.

"i have never done more than the posted speed limit"

but i've gotten up to 180 on a private road, had to slow because of corner, so i don't know if mine has one or not.

Mine does and the RSM I installed didnt get rid of it like I hoped it would.

Jack it up (all 4 wheels of course) and try it.

cheers

Never been that fast in a car before, private road or not. But on a bike, well, hehehehe, actually, no comment! =)

Mine (wifes now) has one. We have open speed limits up here. It actually cuts in at around the 190 mark, the 260 has the same problem. Power FC is being tuned on Wednesday so I will let you know how it goes.

Cheers,

Come to think of it it does seem to be around 190 , still runnin stock suspension it feels quite stable, and i must say gets there reasonably quick too

Never been over 180 in a car! Surely not! That's still in third gear!

Though the advantage I have is that I've spent a lot of time in countries with different speed (ie revenue) restrictions than Aus, plus cars are cheaper too...

Not in Aus, but I've turned the cruise control on at 220kmh and sat back and relaxed as I hummed down the highway! Also been over 300kmh a few times, but never managed to get it over 305kmh (car should have been able to do 320, but I'd put too much fuel in it so it was a bit heavy :-(...) :-)

Anyway, back on topic, yes the stageas all have the speed limiter unless there has been a remap/daughterboard or change of ECU. You shouldn't be able to get it much faster than 190.
