ok, so my car officially has no rev limiter, it goes all the way just past 8 grand (before i back off cos im scared she'll blow!). im 99% certain the taco is accurate as i hooked up a SnapOn diagnostic comp and it read the same. also went for a drive sunday and there doesn't appear to be a speed limiter. just wonderin if anyone has experianced this and they know why.

second thing, little while back went for a massive 1 and a half hour drive about an 1hr of hard driving and now im gettin a metal on metal sound like a scrap, periodically. sounds like its coming from the front left hand wheel. Possible break issue? i haven't experianced any lack of performance in any area since the noise started. so i got clues. any help would be great guys.

My Old R33 had a HKS F con V Pro piggy back type ECU. At one stage I removed the F Con and just ran off what I thought was a factory ECU. Anyway it turned out that that ECU had no rev limiter or speed cut either and had obviously been modifed. I'm guessing yours had been modified the same for what ever reasons.

The metal on metal noise could be brakes, could be faulty shock absorber, could be your rim scrubbing on your coil over etc ... could be anything reall.y best thing to do would pull your wheel off and check for scrape marks as metal tends to leave an obvious mark.

the metal on metal sound is you running into the guard rails because you cant handle the extra rpm and speed.

Get a clue!

hhahah

gee thanks for that i'll keep it in mind..... yeah i was thinkin maybe the turbo as well, cos when i hooked up the manual boost controller to the actuater line there was a bit of oil run. now as far as i know with my limited knowledge, having oil in the turbo might not be best sign of a healthy turbo. But then again as i said before, haven't lost any boost what so eva, gonna get the brakes done early next week and see what happens. also yeah checked the ECU its factory doesn't look like its been modified at all, is there anythin to look for?

otherwise cheers at least i know im not alone.

i had a similer sound coming from my 32 a while ago, turned out to be a very thing peice of metal on my brake pads that gently rubs on the discs basiclly lets u kno ur pads are getting low. they call em squiller pads or sumthing.

an concerning ur ecu they may have just cut the wires, i kno The wire is yellow/green with a silver trace is the speed limiter. check this website out an read a few things on there u may be able to locate the problem.

Sounds like your brakes are prolly just getting low after the thrash. If you look thru the wheel you should be able to see the outer pad. The bit between the backing and the disc is the brake material. Normally if a turbo is going you will hear a shrill noise when you come onto boost (terrible noise). They do tens of thousands of RPM so its too fast to sound like a scraping noise.

Hope i helped.

    • Yeah i have R34 with factory small box and now RB25DET NEO swapoed and iam planning to upgrade to big box.  So i would be good as long as i do not change diff? 
    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
