Isn't the low power the speed limiter?

Anyway, jap cars are limited to 180, but go try for yourself and report back

Hahaha

Yeah I went past 180 yesterday, but it did limit at around 200km/h (my mate was doing roughly the same speed). Would it be possible that I have an aftermarket ecu? I'm the first owner in Aus and the car has been modified a fair bit

Supposedly... but in reality they don't actually limit to that speed quite often. (at least that was the case back in the 90's)

My old 33 was limited at 192 kph.

I recall reading about numerous types of jap cars 'limited' to 180, but when people actually bought and tested them they exceeded 180.

Possible but highly unlikely. Remove the passenger side kick panel and have a look at the ECU to find out!

This. How much straight road do you need to get to 180+? The quickest I've been in mine is only 150 and even that took like 700m of dead empty highway.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
