Why all the secrecy?

WTF is an SLD?

dyslexic LSD?

nevermind found it:

Ahh so THAT's what these things do. I see them on IM when I search for M35 ECU and wonder WTF are they....

and speak shit it does.

It modifies the speed signal to the ECU from 140kph.

Not sure what the ECU does from 140kph as I couldn't understand it, but there is definitely mention of it changing the "normal" tune due to the "high speed".

Just putting it out there, I know no more than that :rolleyes:

I shouldn't think its secrecy - just easier to email stuff than try posting it on here sometimes. Speed limit defenders have been around for ages they do not harm the ecu in any way. - only JDM vehicles are limited to 180 all your aussie assembled cars can go as fast as their engines will allow so its not so radical. Of course doing 200km/hr down your local highway is irresponsible but there are plenty of tracks where you can exceed 180. Nistune, E-Manage and all aftermarket ecus will get rid of the speedlimiter as wll. Skyline owners just snip the speed signal wire or put a switch in it to defeat it.

Kiwi is correct & its alot easier to just send you an email with all the info (i have translated the japanese fitting instructions)!

Kiwi is correct for C34.

Consider this though, with the "Speed cut defender" option turned on in Scott's emanage (which is installed properly), the ECU's speed limiter still kicks in.

OP is referring to the NM35 install, not a C34 install.

If you have the instructions for install into an M35, then cool.

Im just offering what i know, take it or leave it, i really dont care! I just remember how frustrating it was when i went to install one of these and no-one knew anything about them! Yes the one i did was for an rb25 not a vq35, but the principals are the same; I have a wiring plot diagram of the vq35 ecu & translated fitting instructions (with switch pos etc) for the sld (yes fitting instructions, unless you are psychic and know where everything goes - if so help him & tell me the lotto numbers while your at it)!

There is no speed pulse input in our ecu, the signal goes down the CAN line like I have said. You would need the M35 specific unit and it would just plug into the OBD2 port I would assume, unless you cut the CAN line and intercept the signal, in which case you can forget it, not a smart idea. If you have the wiring diag, take a pic and post it, please. :thumbsup:

So wrong...

So condescending...

Just what is so wrong?

That it is easier to send info as an attachment to an email than post it on here?

That SLDs have been around for a long time?

That they do not harm your ecu (if wired correctly naturally)?

That cars sold on the Japanese domestic market are speed limited whereas your aussie (or NZ assembled) are not?

That 200km/hr on the local highway is irresponsible?

That 200km/hr is possible on many race tracks?

That (some) Skyline owners jist cut a wire to the ecu plug to defeat the speed limiter?

That just leaves the question of the E-manage and after market ecus getting rid of the speed limiter.

I will accept that you have been unable to wire your e-manage so as to defeat the speed limiter and you may be right that it cannot be done with your car although I would be suprised

But replacing it with an aftermarket unit will definitely do the trick.

There is a VQ powered NM Stagea drifter (albeit a manual ) running around here with a wired in Link and that can go as fast as its little wheels will turn.

It has already been explained Kiwi and the VQ30 doesn't have an electronic throttle which is one of the the issues.

To the OP, understand completely what cutting the CAN line might do before installing this device.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
