Hey all,

Have a 1997 R33 GTR, making 239 RWKW with standard computer. Am quite happy with that for the moment and want to keep the factory computer for a while. Unfortunately was hitting the speed limiter half way down the straights at Sandown.

Anyone know how or who can cheaply remove 180km speed limiter in r33 GTR while retaining the factory computer????

Cheers,

Luke.

ok have you ever taken a look at the computer? its at the passanger side

ive never tried this myself...since ive never owned an R33....

but apparently there is a wire to the Computer labelled No#53...

cutting this wire....taping it up would disable the speed restrictor....

cutting any of the wires...you could always join it back up...so if i were you, id give that a shot....

why do you need to remove it? because how are you going to test this out?

this would be the "cheapest" way without modding the ecu

make sure you let us know how you go on this.... should this work, ill post it up on the DIY section for future reference. Im pretty sure we need this one in there

or u could just get a fcd and know thats its gona work 100% without butchering your car

easy and safest way is either

HKS - SLD - Speed limit defender

or

APEXI - RSM

either one will remove the limiter, although I would go the apexi, at least it will give you a few other functions you might find useful on a track.

That's safe and nearly $500 retail for the Apexi unit :(

Wire #53 is commonly known as been able to be cut (according to the SkylinesDownUnder I believe), I never tried it personally as if you have an aftermarket ECU you won't need to do that trick :)

cutting 1 wire is not butchering the car, yo can EASILY join it back up :P

^^^^^

EGG f**king zactly!!!!!!!!!!!.................... thankyou...........

ermm both you guys i dunno if you read his question...... he asked for the CHEAPEST way possible..........

hes "happy with everything" for now.......so he didnt really ask for jibber and jabber or gidgets and gadjets....

i think this is the most efficient way to suit his needs

do you know if this will work for a gtst is it the same wire .... i have heard of this before and was told that #53 wire is the out put to the ignition module when the computer switchs it to earth the ignition is disabled if this is true its a verry easy cheep and safe way of disabling speed limiter im sure you have to cut more than one wire to install one of the hks or apexi units listed above so why would this method be dodgy

If you are in Melb I have stock ECU with a Speed limiter over ride connected to it already. For you to look at. This was installed by AVO.

This should give you an idea of what is required.

the apexi rsm can be had for $300 direct from the usa..

and i thought that was really cheap.. 300 bux is nothing.

pivot speedmeters are pretty cheap and will remove limiter, cutting no53 is obviously the cheapest but you guys with autos better do a search cause i think its a no no.

I've heard you can melt the limiters by travelling at the max speed (this being 180k) for at least 5 minutes at a stretch...the fun part would be finding a stretch of road that is suitable for 5 mins worth of flat out driving at 180Km/h...That overides them without having to buy a limiter defence cut thing.

Or you can do that on a dyno :(

I heard this from many people not just a few of em and a few people who have actually succeeded in doing so. So its worth giving a try i guess, just run your boost on low and gradually make your way up to the speed ona dyno and leave it there for as long as needed.

Don't know how reliable this is since i havnt done it myself...but worth a try like i said....

i think it is the same wire. have a look at the ECU.. apparently the R34 is wire 29# or something but 32 and 33 has the same.

yes i recon... people are forgetting how Stereos, speakers, Alarms, Tachos, immobilisers are installed.....

no body solders things anymore.... its just snip snip.... and electrical tape it shut....

i think its worth a try... and if its no good.... just tape it back up...

sweet cheers might try it tomorrow ill let you s know how it goes

lol

you seem more keen than the OP...

yep, definately keep us posted and you could be the first to POST a DIY. ive checked and there isnt one there regarding this

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
