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!!

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
