hey guys

ill enlighten you on the situation... the other night i was waiting at the lights when a ford mustang pulled up against me.... when the lights turned green i planted my foot down on the pedal...... i tried my hardest to pull away from the mustang but with a stock rb20det it wasnt good enough.... when i was reaching speed of 130km the car was struggling to gain higher speed.... is this because my ecu was cutting my speed...

cheers jason

No... Its called a stupidity sensor actually. Nissan fitted it to some cars, but not to others it seems.

Basically the car realises you are street racing, and it stops the party for you as its... illegal, stupid & dangerous.

Gimme one good reason why i shouldnt close this thread.

Yes it is, behind the left kick panel is your ecu, take it out and cut all the red wires out with wirecutters. This will let your car go much faster.

I have done this mod and my speedlimit is 243kmph. its not unlimited but i guess its good enoung.

I was told if you cut all the wires with stripes on them it runz 44psi and makes your injectors 1000cc

Somebody should say something constructive:

PSI R32 - As you can see we are all having a go at you, pulling the leg, please don't do what you do - don't race on the street. Join up here and go racing at Wakefield, WSID, or Oran Park etc instead. dragging, drifting, racing.

This forum is a great source of information, parts, help, idea's and just for making friends. And we all try in our way to discourage illegal street racing/hooning etc. We want you to enjoy your car, but do it in a way that you can live with. Too many good mates don't live through the impulsive years, we are all just trying in our way to stop you doing anything stupid. Come to a few events and learn to appreciate your car at so many other levels.

Help us to make it better.

AFAIK factory speed limit is 180km/h ...sounds more like ur stock blower was running out of puff

But seriously dude...if ur gonna race..do it at the track..chances are you'll get more attention/cred running a 10 sec pass on the strip than occasionally winning a street race against a mustang with a driver who couldnt tell a stick shift from his left elbow!!

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
