All the Jap cars are limited to 180 km/h out of the box, just like Euros are limited to 250 km/h. It's just a govt regulation.

I've seen $3 on my speedo but I would imagine that's only about 270-280 km/h.

I'd imagine my car would break the $3 barrier easily if there was enough straight road somewhere with enough braking space.

There was a white R33GTR (built by RacePace Motorsport) which cracked 310ish I think in a Motor Magazine a few years back at Avalon before Jetstar came in and ruined it for everyone.

lol i'm no expert at cars, but i want to be.

why would they cap the speed?

how does one go taking the speed limiter off? does it affect warranty? :ninja:

watch "tokyo drift" you will see why they limited the speed :laugh:

gts-ts can hit around 230 or so without the limiter on....so gtrs (i would assume) will do heaps more....

from what i know though, most cars dont hit those speeds even on the track (unless you were driving some monster which hits 0-200 in like 10 seconds) - again i could be wrong about this, but this is what i heard....

was talking to wayne at gtauto about this - he said it was not a hard thing to do, its just one wire that needs to be taken care of or something......but unless the car is going to be used for trackwork - probably no need to cut the limiter....

We do much more than 230 on the track. PI Sees well over 250 down the straight... Even at Calder Jack (JAGR33) was breaking 250 down the straight.

Don't forget you're not starting from a stand still. You're coming onto the straight at around 180 give or take at PI....

Wheels magazine included an R32 GTR (Aus spec) in their 1991 or 1992 top speed shoot out at Holden's Lang Lang speed bowl. They measured the REAL speed with an (at the time) state of the art Leitz Correvit data aquisition system. This got around the wanky wank "I did 780klm/h in a Hilman Hunter" claims from idiots who don't know about speedo inaccuracy.

I haven't re-read this edition for ages, but I think the Porsche 928 GTS won @ 274klm/h. Nissan Australia's claim for the GTR was 245klm/h..... and guess what it did???? Yep, 245klm/h.

I'd imagine the one Nissan sent to the Nurburgring would be a 'Healthy' example :O

The fact that it somehow managed to forget that it was speed limited to 180km/hr means that its tune isn't something you could have gotten off a show-room floor. So who else knows what was added to it aside from a Speed Cut Defenser?

The infamous "first production car to break the 8min barrier on the Nurburgring" GT-R was running semi slicks and more boost to go with its speed limiter removal.

That said, some R34 GT-Rs got officially exported to the UK and their speed limiters were set at 250km/hr.....which they easily reached. Those things also made "only 206kW".

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
