No just cars intended for the Japanese domestic market. In manuals you just cut the appropriate wire but for autos you need a device such as my GReddy Speed Limiter Cut Controller ($160 roughly) which will do the job. Jaycar don't appear to make one. You can get the speed limit removed with some major re-chips or of course with an aftermarket computer.

If you are going to install a piggyback ECU, I believe that the eManage Ultimate can override it.

Did you end up getting that white Axis Alan?

Well your mate's 33 coupe is probably wire 53 but I'm sure a search in the Skyline section will confirm that. I had a quick look at the pinout diagram for Stageas (you'll find it in the DIY section under ECU) and the most likely suspect is the wire on pin 29 which is where my greddy speed cut thingy is connected. In my car I hit a wall at 180 (it could vary according to how accurate your spedo is, what size wheels and tyres etc) but since putting the whatsit on the ECU i have had 180 - 190 at the Taupo A! GP track and just over 190 at Manfield. I was looking forward to Pukekohe next month where i should have been able to get well over 220 on the back straight but unfortunately my car is no more. Have to wait til i build my next one.

you hit a wall at 180 ? phsyically ? or with the computers speedo cut ...

You and me both.

I guess that the needle would have hit 195kph if there were numbers that far.

I do know that my speedo shows 7kph high out due to 18's, but could the original speedo be out 10kph?

I hit a metaphorical wall at 180. I hit a real culvert at 80k - that's what wrote my car off.

pivot speedmeter, available in aus approx $200 or buy from singapore or malayasia for a lot less (or they were before the ass fell out of the $)

I think that only applies to maybe R33s or newer, I know the r32 autos still work with the wire cut, 52 or 53 is the one green and yellow?

yeah, as soon as mine used to touch the dial, it used to pull back the fuel and start shuddering like a son of a b*tch

Cheers

powerfc cuts it nicely.

I dont quiet get why people want to remove the speed cut on their cars.....

180 is plenty fast enough as it is(havnt even hid speed cut in mine) . Plus its bad to push it that hard and spin out top gear.

Isnt it all about how fast and how much it throws you back into your seat...

[Jezboosted]

i would only look into removing it if it was preventing me from going faster down willowbank.

Removing speed cut is not a necessity for the road (unless you are in Germany) but it does not do any harm - you can do 180 in third and in fourth 200 is not really revving hard. BTW I don't suggest trying these speeds on public roads and not anywhere if you haven't done some basic improvements to your suspension and wheel alignment - the standard setup could have you struggling to keep it on the road at illegal speeds. It is a necessity for track days unless you like being passed by slower cars that don't have speed limiters.

[sleeper393]

thats why i want the speed limiter removed for track days , plus i've had vast experience with advanced driver training in the past so im im quite capable at handling high speed driving , NOT IN ANYWAY WOULD I CONDONE DRIVING FASTER THAN THE RECOMENDED SPEEDS ON OUR PRISTINE ROADS !!!!

[pork hunt drifting]

i got s2 manual so if anyone chops the wire and it works, give us a msg of what ya did.

i thought i blew mine up when i hit 190ish, must be fuel cut.

[chef_stagea]

stagea does 0-100 in class... y wd u wona go 180? 1 wrong move n ur toast!

the 260 has a fuel cut deffender in it... gets rida r+r i think.
