Ive had my Skyline for 2 weeks now.. Geez I love it. :hearts:

A mate has a VX SS.. I been boasting how my GTS would smoke him, just quietly though, I was a little concerned that it wouldn't work out that way :Oops:

Well.. I just fed that SS to my 'line :(

such a glorious site, race to 100 klm/hr: SS 2 car lengths behind when I hit the mark... sweeet.

Now what i wanna know is this, does the R33 gtst have a speed limiter that comes on somewhere around 5500 rpm 5th gear? Dont know what the speed is... whatever it is it is above the 180 mark on the speedo, gotta change that thing. Cant be a rev limiter cos it winds out to redline in all other gears, but in 5th she hits some sort of power cut for a coupla seconds then re accelerates to the same point??

Any clues?

Found this out on an unused airstrip btw

Hey, yeah there is a speed limiter, but HKS have Speed Limit Defenders which you can put in to cancel that BS out!!!

Have heard that you can put a 1.5 ohm resistor on the crankshaft to cut it out as well but don't know enough about it to really understand it!!!

*if any1 knows anything about that or that it is BS can u let me know*

The thing with dragging those sort of cars is if u have unlimited amount of road u'll get smoked cause there top end speed kills ours.... disappointing i know, had 2 learn that one the hard way 2!!!

ss nice my mate has one/ I was also worried about beating it but u have to have faith in the line lol 2 easy. I also have a mate who has new sv6 that gave me a run, but still the line is victorios.

Is that speed limit thing 180km/h? i think thats what it is set at.

Oh and this all took place on my private highway! got to love having your own

Speed cut is at 180k as the ECU sees it - the speedo is usually a bit inaccurate (my '33 reads a bit low) which is why it looks like you are going faster than 180 when you hit the limiter.

Have checked the ECU speed readout (using Consult data) on mine against a GPS and it is pretty accurate, the gauge is obviously out a wee bit.

I dont actually mind being limited to 180... I mean when can u legitimatly and safely go that fast anyway?

Its the sound, feel and thrill of getting from whatever, to the limit, very... very quickly... ok, maybe just a few k over the limit. : )

Just wanted to be sure it was a normal thing, so, thanks guys..

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
