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

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...

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
