Getting rid of 180kmh speed cut.

[burkey22]

I want to get rid of the speed cut on my Stagea. Just so I can see what she'll do one time. Will an Apexi RSM Rev Speed Meter do this? If not how do I do it?

[Essential]

Yes.

[David Kemps]

either use the RSM or find the pin outs for your ecu, im assuming its similar to all other nissans.

find the speed sensor wire, no. 53 on skylines, silvias etc and cut it.

e-manage also does the job

[burkey22]

Great. thanks for your help guys.

doesnt cutting that wire screw up 4ws or awd on some skylines?? just what i have heard...

It isn't a smart idea, it just keeps your car running in Diagnostic mode all the time

No it doesnt do that.

I've had it cut for about 3 years now and no problems.

I don't pay $200 or whatever for a speedcut defender if i dont have to.

Cutting wire 53, put your HICAS into diag mode, Some people have had problems with their HICAS not working properly once the wire has been cut, and some people haven't had any probs at all. I personally would think its a silly idea if your doing a 180km/hr and your HICAS decides to take control over your car ??

[burkey22]

HICAS is basically Four Wheel Steering yeah? Does the 97 Stagea have this? If it doesn't then cutting this wire shouldn't matter should it?

[Lazy-Bastard]

I thought that cutting wire 53 caused problems exiting HICAS diagnostic mode once you had entered it, not put your ECU into HICAS diagnostic mode. :uhh:

[David Kemps]

BBQ: Have u actually done it or u just heard what other people say? cause i've actually cut the wire and it DOESNT put the hicas into diagnostic mode.

Anyway, HICAS is rubbish, quite annoying really, i agree about the part not wanting the HICAS to start working at 180kph tho!

[burkey22]

Yeah I think I'll play it safe and let the RSM take care of it.

cutting the wire can also put error codes into ur computer cause things like the car running very rich over fueling it self and what not. RSM or speed cut defender is the go.

Check out modyourcar.com.au I got a Pivot speed meter for $152, it removes the 180km limit, displays speed up to 350km/hr and gives you times and terminal speed for 0-100m, 0-200m, 0-300m, and 0-400m.

There are only four wires and it is easy to install, (comes with ecu pinout diagrams for all models). Good value for money i reckon, plus the hicas still works normally.

Yes I have actually done it, I had mine on a switch so when I need to go over 180km/hr on a private road, I would flick the switch. It would give me a HICAS light on my dash though.

Once I turned the switch off, the light would go away.

I though its not safe to be fooling the computer by thinking that somethings wrong when its actually not. So I got a PFC to remove the limit.

From memory.. the stagea's have the ecu wiring of R34, which is different to this wire 53. The only confirmed result I have seen that has worked for the wire 53 is the R33 ecu wiring.

Be on the safe side and get a proper speed limiter cut, not the dodgy wire cutting.

Just my 2c worth.

For R32 is wire #53 as well but don't do it on the automatic. I had it and i experienced a lot of problems with flatspots during the gear changes. Now its back on and it works fine
