All,

What is the best way to remove the speed limiter from a 2003 V35 GT manual? I have searched and all I have found are "speed cut defenders are available", however I'm not overly sure what they are, where to get them and any negatives associated with them.

I am after the most reliable and cheapest method available without requiring a full ECU with the relevant tuning hassles. I do not intend to modify the car, just remove the speed limiter. I do not want to affect the fuel efficiency or any other tuning parameters the car.

Any suggestions including brands, suppliers and installers (preferably in SA) would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

The speed cut defenders are what you're after. Just a colourful Japanese use of English.

They will simply do exactly what your after and your cheapest option.

Unless you decipher Chris' cryptic message and/or are as talented as him when it comes to electronics. :D

Chris is making this into a cryptic crossword puzzle!

I could have looked it up and told you which wire to tamper with..

need to make some of you think :D

one point I did miss though - auto or manual? if auto it may fool with the shifting and toss a code or two.

no. but someone saw my logic.

to be honest IF you clipped the wrong wire there is a good chance the car wouldn't move.

speed cut device would do nicely. unless somone can tell me the voltage and frequency the sender is operating at around that speed.

Cutting wires doesnt require too much skill.. and if you cut the wrong one, then just solder it back again.

Ive clipped and spliced wires on my r33, when installing my apexi rsm to get rid of the speed limiter.

Not that hard, the apexi website gave me a diagram explaining what wire was what.

Took about 30 mins to install. and it worked perfectly! =)

Don't be too afraid to play around with your car! Its all about learning! hehe

Yeah im not surprised the V35 is more complicated... its a much newer car.

R33 is complicated enough for me! haha.

Anyway good luck!

But unless you gonna track it, cutting the speed limiter is not really needed.

top speed limit in WA is 110kmh.

going 180kmh+ on public roads is just f*cking stupid.

Everyone,

Thanks for the help, I think, though some of you are taking the piss... :)

Chris, I will freely admit I know nothing about car electronics, and have neither the time or inclination to learn, hence my question. Thatz where experts like you come in. Bombs and bullets, camouflage and concealment, rules of engagement, and fire and movement are my bread and butter...

Everyone, I welcome your continued input, and if anyone can advise of the cheapest reliable speed cut defender it would be appreciated.

Cheers.

PS. Itz for the track. I'm not an idiot.

PPS. Chris, itz a manual.

haha, glad to hear ur not an idiot

i would go the apexi rsm to get rid of the speed limiter.

Then you also get other features such as lap times / Qtr mile times and power output ratings (just a few of the features it offers)!

I got mind 2nd hand for 150$ plus the G sensor, which senses how much G force the car is experiencing.. helps to make more accurate readings.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
