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.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
