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.

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,

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

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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
