hey guys

ill enlighten you on the situation... the other night i was waiting at the lights when a ford mustang pulled up against me.... when the lights turned green i planted my foot down on the pedal...... i tried my hardest to pull away from the mustang but with a stock rb20det it wasnt good enough.... when i was reaching speed of 130km the car was struggling to gain higher speed.... is this because my ecu was cutting my speed...

cheers jason

No... Its called a stupidity sensor actually. Nissan fitted it to some cars, but not to others it seems.

Basically the car realises you are street racing, and it stops the party for you as its... illegal, stupid & dangerous.

Gimme one good reason why i shouldnt close this thread.

Yes it is, behind the left kick panel is your ecu, take it out and cut all the red wires out with wirecutters. This will let your car go much faster.

I have done this mod and my speedlimit is 243kmph. its not unlimited but i guess its good enoung.

I was told if you cut all the wires with stripes on them it runz 44psi and makes your injectors 1000cc

Somebody should say something constructive:

PSI R32 - As you can see we are all having a go at you, pulling the leg, please don't do what you do - don't race on the street. Join up here and go racing at Wakefield, WSID, or Oran Park etc instead. dragging, drifting, racing.

This forum is a great source of information, parts, help, idea's and just for making friends. And we all try in our way to discourage illegal street racing/hooning etc. We want you to enjoy your car, but do it in a way that you can live with. Too many good mates don't live through the impulsive years, we are all just trying in our way to stop you doing anything stupid. Come to a few events and learn to appreciate your car at so many other levels.

Help us to make it better.

AFAIK factory speed limit is 180km/h ...sounds more like ur stock blower was running out of puff

But seriously dude...if ur gonna race..do it at the track..chances are you'll get more attention/cred running a 10 sec pass on the strip than occasionally winning a street race against a mustang with a driver who couldnt tell a stick shift from his left elbow!!

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
