went to mates private property and did a run , speedo kept going past 180 and but figure it must be out a bit though it went near to perhaps a 200km mark , then backed off as was running out of road

Also have purchased a Speed Meter , though R6n350gt has put a tutorial on how to install up will be taking the car to auto elecs to hopefully sort out the delimiter using the Speed meter , will keep track of results and post up once done , if it is figured out then $135 is a good price to delimit car , as well as recording 1/4 mile times,

Yeh you can deff recal it. there are shops in syd that can do it.

Please: do tell how!

My V35 sedan is very much out of whack due to tyres/wheels, and I have been quoted many, many hundreds of dollars to have the recalibration (to within +/- 1kmh) done.

As mentioned before, the speedo guage stopping at 180 can be solved with the nismo guage set which runs upto 280 kmph. The actual speed limit can be fixed with various speed limit removers. Most jap tuners that make electronics make them. The pivot one is probably the most reasonably priced at only about $150 delivered. They have digital speed display upto 350kmph and they remove the speedcut.

Here is the link on nengun

Even if you have the nismo gauges already so dont need the digital speed too, these units are still cheaper than all the other speed limit removers. Cant confirm compatibility as i havent looked into them too much. HKS and other brands also make speed limit removers but are more expensive, the HKS ones are around $350 but i think they are model specific.

If youre having issues with speedo being out, your probably better off picking up a guage like scanguage or something that reads speed off the ODB port and allows for adjustments. I know the scanguage does allow adjustments in the speed as i think they are originally designed for 4wd's which often run larger wheels and have speedo issues. You can pretty much just put in a % correction for what it displays on the screen. This could be worked out with a tire size calcualtor to see the % speed difference and confirmed as correct with a GPS.

The HKS one should work at least but I wouldn't recommend cutting the CAN line to install it, all your speed data goes down the CAN line, there is no speed signal wire going to the ecu to bend. Just get an aftermarket ecu from Japan.

i just did a googled speedo recal sydney found some places but call around a few performance places they should be able to do it, Croyden auto sports should be able to do it.

Who would you have to see to have that installed Ben?

Well thats a good point, a bit risky cutting into the can line.. all these new bus type setups are awfully complicated to work with when there arent plug and play electronics available. Not sure where you would have it installed, or rather who you would trust to have it installed.

It seems the pivot unit at least has been confirmed as not working for speed limit removal in this DIY article http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/364333-pivot-speed-meter-v-diy/

but the speedo does work for anyone that wants an alternative to the nismo guages.

Fortunately for us though, as mentioned there are many tuning companies where you can just buy an already flashed ecu with speed cut removed and other features. They fill up like a whole page in hyper REV.

Hmm i think the best option is going to be to get the nismo dash to keep the car looking clean on the inside and get the ECU flashed or replaced gona be expensive but will keep the car looking clean on the inside which is what i like.

*skips all posts

I have an apexi thingo ma bob which removes the 180km/h limit.

I hit 200km/h and it makes a buzzing sound.

edit: Or you can use your apexi hand controller to record your top-speed.

but srsly i'd look down, 200km/h isn't that fast.

AAAAAAAAND you have a car that uses a single signal wire to the ecu that the apexi interrupts and changes

the V and M chassis use the CAN network to transmit it

its the communications network that many of the devices and sensors use to communicate to the ECU and each other.

if you cut it, it MAY sever some essential communications. what if the ECU needs to see your speed when you hit the brakes and ABS kicks in? what happens if your engine stalls every time you pull up because the ECU didnt know you were moving.

there are hundreds of potential problems. and many people will ignore scott's warning, and this one. but its your car, cut away!

This makes me think it will be better just to install speed meter for display of speed and Other settings rather than cutting this wire , really don't want to stuff up the speed signals

best advice, ever lol

Also with the pivot speed meter it can tell you how fast you went with a press of a button. So dont look, just drive then once you have stopped or slowed you can press to see what the max speed was and the max g-force in acceleration and breaking :) 188 was the most i could get out of it with a quick run on private road. I have not tried to max it out yet..

As to another ECU, i was on the verge of getting a technosquare flashed ECU from a 350Z but even though it would match up i would have to get my keys reprogrammed so the BCM would work with the immbolizer again

If you gonna do all that crap you may aswell get a pivot speed meter and a Utec EMS which has got speed limit removal feature and then you can get your car tuned and get more HP out of it... be cheaper that nismo gauge, flashed ecu, reprogrammed keys etc..

Pivot speed meter is easy as piss to install, the Utec will be too (dont worry ill write a guide lol) and then get a tune. $200 an hour, 1-2 hours max if still NA.

So $150 del for pivot speed meter

$400-450 for Utec delivered (second hand)

Install both yourself = free

tune $400

Total *ish $950 for a tuned car, more HP (usually 8-10RWHP from a tune once u have bolt ons), delimited and a speedo upto 350km that can record top speed, top g force in acceleration and braking, show g force on the fly, and do 100,200 and 400m timed runs :)

If you go 280km speedo $600-800

HKS delimit $300-$400

Install = who knows.. $200+

Total *ish $1100 min

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • 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.
