sav man:with the wire cut what does the hicas do?dosnt work altogether or light in dash flashes or what?

The wire is for the speed sensor, so things that rely on speed to activate -- i.e. HICAS -- get confused, which is why cutting the wire = bad.

PSI_GTSII: Your car is obviously fux0red. Give it to me to keep. :cheers:

So if I fitted Power FC what would then happen to this wire.....as I thought the PFC replaced the factory ECU...?

And no Lucien you cannot look after my car :);)

The PFC completely replaces the ECU and doesn't have a speed cut: you leave the wire attached.

Sorry I'm confused ;)

Attached to what...?

So you cannot cut the speed limit wire as it makes the HICAS etc go crazy, but if you pull the original ECU out of the car to replace it with PFC, what then is this wire connected to..?

And if nothing, how is that different from just cutting it..?

I will grasp the concept soon I promise :)

Urgh.

The wire is part of the loom that plugs in to the ECU. When you cut the wire, the ECU no longer recieves a speed reading (which is why it doesn't pull fuel) and therefore can't properly activate/deactivate speed sensitive devices, like HICAS.

When you completely replace the ECU with a PFC, the PFC plugs in to the same loom and recieves the speed signal (assuming you haven't cut the wire). However, the PFC is not programmed to pull fuel when the sensor reports 180+KM/H.

All jap cars are limited at around 180 kmh ( usualy 185 or so ) .

Bog stock gtrs will hit the speed cutout very easy and depending on model ( if you dont have the limiter ) will go on up to 250 kmh ( r34 gtr ) .

I took my stock 34 to the drag strip ( only mod , catback exhaust ) and i hit the cutout in 4th just after the 400 mt finish line .

i get up to around 220 (i have a 180 speedo) and still have 2 gears left :cheers:

done on a private road also. :)

the speedo is way out at that sort of speed, when i hit the cutout if there was still markings on the speedo it would have shown about 200 so around 15km/h too much. (in r33 gtst)

i had to get my speedo fixed coz of the 18's. speedo was showing 15k/h over b4 i got it fixed

Don't know why people are having problems with people saying speed cut wasn't till 200.

My supra and skyline have both speed cut pretty much spot on 200. I can tell this by looking at the speedo and its a damn site closer to where the 200 would be written than the 180 mark.

Maybe they were wrong, but I promise both cars were bloody close to 200km when they hit it.

its the speedos, the speed cut as wrxhoon says is in the 180's the speedo is incorrect at those speeds.

u can see how fast u really go by working it out on the rpm u are doing when u hit the cut.

If you dont want or need to spend the money to get a PFC, there are plenty of cheaper options to get rid of the speed limiter. Most aftermarket rev/speed meters will override the speed cut. Ive got an old Ultra brand speed meter that does 0-400m ET and top speed and has a trip computer sort of thing, and it cuts it out. Im sure you'd be able to pick up a second hand one for less than $100.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
