180 dude, 99% of cars that come from Japan (grey imports) have 180 speed limiters on them, thats why your speedo only goes to 180. At a mates farm tested my car it cut power at about 190, but I'm not sure if I was doing 190 exactly my only indicator of that is that the speedo went just a tad over the 180 mark before it cut out.

Cheers,

Evan

next question, whats a reliable fuel cut defender that would be suitable to install. for track days etc i dont wanna be limited to 180. from what iv seen so far most units piggyback to the ECU but there isnt a way to reprogram the ECU itself is there?

either get a chipped ecu... ie mines etc that has all this removed or get a fuel cut defender and you will have to cut the speed wire to the ecu as I don't think there is anything to remove this from a std 33 ecu....

Or doesn't Dr Drift remap 33 ecus for a decent price????

Or do the ghetto approach and cut the speed limiter wire from the ECU.

search the forums.. there was a thread with the exact wire to cut..

or maybe put a seperate live to the fuel pump and a switch,i was going to try it but bought a power fc so then there was no need

yeh, dr drift does them. but a few things to consider before you spend money on it:

1. based on my previous experience at Winton when my car was non turbo... there wasent a big enough straight to even get up to 180 in an N/A....don't know if your going there or not

2. I would assume there is a reason they are limited... ie, you could stuff your crank/engine/gbox, in the same way they are rev limited...so your pistons don't bounce out of the block...

3. are you going to spend the money on the supporting mods to allow your car to do that speed as safely as you can be at 180km... ie, suspension, brakes? because if you have more braking power you can go faster for longer...

How much would a chipped ECU cost anyways.

Need to go over 180 on track!!

MRXTCZ

LOL.. I dont think there is a straight on NSW tracks long enough for our NA's to reach 180.

Besides.. bu the time you reach about 160km/h the car really starts to shake and that speed.. you'll shit bricks..

dont ask me how I know.. but take my word for it..

it shouldn't shake,theres something wrong with it,i'vy been 150 mph in my r33 n/a and it don't shake at all,try getting your wheels balanced and if you have aftermarket wheels you may need spigot rings on them

150MPH in an N/A ???? - Thats about 240km/h :S

lmao.

ive been 140 with no problem.

i was overtaking a supra on the m4 :)

not sure what i can push it to, and wont risk my license in trying to find out.

... then why did u hit 140? lol

Honestly dont see the point in chaning the ECU, you wont get 180 out of the motor on the track in a N/A. You are only going to do more damage then good to your car.

If you are seriousle about goin quick on the track or down the quater, then buy a race car, they arent that expensive now days.

But price of a new ECU? well that will depend on the brand and quality that you want. Havent looked at buying one cause i think its a waste in a N/A, but a google search will probably do wonders.

My Two Cents

might have something to do with yours being an R32 :D

then again i know my suspension isnt stock, way to stiff, but it sits down nicely at 100ks +.

you shudder mightv been from warped discs if you were braking?? hehe

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
