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.

Tze

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

Im local, i used to live like just round the corner.....

But i live near Aspley now.......

Complete Car sound is the only place i have been

where they dont just try and sell you "Sony or Pioneer"

(ie. Auto Barn) they have a wide range and im mates

with the guys down there. I also hold a gold membership

at this joint so i get really good discounts.

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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
