A speed cut defender basically works as a bypass until you get to a preset speed. For example, at 100km/h it still says you're doing 100, but if you set the max speed to say 175km/h, at 180 it still thinks you're doing 175. And at 250, it still thinks you're going 175... so the ECU won't cut power. I've always been a little skeptical about them though, I'd much prefer a full aftermarket remap of the ECU which incorporates the speed cut removal. I'd feel much more comfortable doing it that way.

Your car sounds like a bit of a weapon mate... good work :cool:

Can you give me any more info on the alarm?? PM me if you like. I *might* be upgrading to a GTR shortly and would be very interested in putting something like that into it.

That's the same reason I've left mine alone. Not sure if it has mixture compensation for speed/gear or whatever, and who knows what else. One way to do it would be to put a switch on it - leave it stock until you want to blow past someone (on a private road of course :D )

i'm not too sure how the speed cut defender works, but for bout 200 bucks i dun mind trying it out. if it's like wat u said then my turbo timer's speedo wun work rite?(it's wired into the ecu) anyways still waiting for u guys to get a cruise going, or a meet up, or whatever. can't wait to meet up with u guys again. btw i got whopped by a red nsx...i was in 5th doing 60 n this red thing just flies past doing sumthing like 130 i think...by the time i dumped the gear into 3rd he was thru the roundabout(indooroopilly) and gone man...his exhaust was the loudest thing i heard...(in vtec man)....now i want a honda...:burnout:

These alarm systmes are aviable at any good car radio

joint. I got mine at Complete Car sound at Enoggera.

Its on pickering street. They do great deals and stock

heaps of good gear. They are full of great advise

and know how to work on a budget. Its just i got hooked

and went a little over board with my stereo. (ie. front

splits $1200 - and thats with a discount)

Mines a VDO system and it costs around the $1200 mark.

These days im sure their a bit cheaper. Anyway if the alarm

goes off you mobile will ring (I set the number to car alarm).

So when it rings the display on my trusty Nokia says

"CAR ALARM". From there you can hit the clear button and

this will reset the alarm. Just incase it was a crack of thunder

or a loud exhaust. But if it goes off again then dial the number

back and then type in your pin number and the car stops dead.

Simple system which works well.......

Only costs you the cost of the mobile phone call, but it can

save your car. I should also mention that the auto wind-up

kit and central door locking is an extra expense. But they

both simply connect to the VDO kit. I installed it myself and took

2 days to fit properly. I also fitted a auto start to it, so i can warm

the turbo up before i even get to the car.......

I call my car "Kit" as in kit from knight rider cause it has just as

many electronic gismo's at the real thing.........

NOTE: The model i am using is now out of date and there are

better kits aviable now. Also never mention the Model number

to anyone, cause the pin number for the system is the model

number plus one digit and therefore it can be very dangerous

when in the wrong hands.

ALSO NOTE: A thief can never tell what model it is as every wire

is a black wire and the model skiter is removable before installation.

Cheers Colin

Yes the car is a weapon........ Not only in the rain..........LOL

Not sure what you mean about your TT's speedo not working... I assume you mean that your TT acts as a digital speedo as well? If that's the case, you just have to make sure you wire it in BEFORE the speed cut defender, ie closer to the speedo sender, not the ECU.

What the hell were you doing going for 3rd gear at 60, you should be using second at that speed!! :D

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
