You have the hand controller I assume? If so Bunta knows how.

ON the hand controler you need to go into setting

Then into the last menu bottom right and you will see idle value and rev limit set up around the 7000rpm area.

Highlight this figure and then hold down the 'down' arrow til its at like 1000rpm... :D

It will take you a minute to turn it down...

HAHAHAHAHA

Never done that, what happens???

When you start the car it starts rev limiting straight away, really really slowly lol

Rev limiter and idle control fighting each other... would make it very hard to drive the car away :D

Wire in a kill switch like in racing...have it hidden under the dash and just turn it off and remove the key paddle and keep it with you...then they cant start the car regardless....so long as they dont find it and bridge it....that would suck.

I do this when I park in dodgy places! It is the goods, You get sick of it doing it regularly but like Col said it takes a good minute to take it from 7500 to 1000

Oh it is also good for when learners/noobs are driving your car. Set the limiter to 4500 and sleep easy!

what about just popping the bonnet and disconnecting the ignition module?

car can't start without any spark to the cylinders, and its easiest to plug back in without the need for tools etc.

I guess we are hoping that the Crim doesnt know how to use a Power FC...whereas he might now to plug the igniter back in

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
