Quick question, as I have a track night this Friday and want to disable the 180kmh speed limiter before hand.

From Searching I have found that it is wire 53 from the ECU, and to cut the wire close to ECU, but all of the topics from the search were for R32 GTST's or R33's.

My Question is: Is wire 53 the one to cut on a 32 GTR?

Any other advise appriciated

Cheers

Lindsay

my speedo cable end snapped and my speedo didnt work and this really messed with my hicas on my R32 gts-t. not sure if it will be the same of the gtr.

but it made my steering really heavy after about 5 mins of driving and the hicas did not work properly.

if this is the case for the gtr too, you might be able to go a bit faster on straights, but id say your conrnering speeds wont be up to par

Have a look down the page a bit for the last nissan one.

Hope it helps.

Though just be careful not sure if cutting this wire will mess with your hicas or not.

Thanks mate...just what I was looking for :)

I will wire it so as it is switchable as being a speed sensor im guessing it will mess with the HICAS.

Yeah the exact same thing happened to me aswell.

Ok I found and cut the wire which was a very easy job thx Reddrifter for the link below :D

I have just done over 70kms+ in the car, it now surpass's 180kmh with ease, Idle is uneffected, I have started and stopped the car - no problems.

Took car around a new housing estate swerving vigously to activate the HICAS and driving pretty hard, yet No Hicas Light or adverse steering effects at all.

Nothing infact, car appears to be totally uneffected :D

Heres a few pics for anyone attempting it in future which along with the link below should help you.

I will be sure to post if something happens to go wrong, but for now i'm not even bothering with rigging up a switch.

yeah, factory flare... you'll see the little holders on the kicker panel in front of the ecu for it :P dunno if mine was still in the car or not to be honest... always wanted to set it off lol!!!

salad / Red Drifter : don't know if you're aware but when the speedo cable isn't working properly the HICAS won't work etc.

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
