R33 Rev Limiter Gone?!?!?

[benny bobo]

Hey,

Got an R33gtst S2.

This morning I was at a set of lights, when a commodore revved at me. So I thought hmm, it sounds like a weak P.O.S. I gave him a revv back, problem was... it did not stop at 7000. When I looked down it was at 8000... This does not seem good...

I miss my rev limitter

How the hell did it stop working and how do I fix it.

the rev limit is a soft cut, so it is possible to bounce past it

it could be disabled, remapped to a higher value or the tacho could be incorrect

does your car have the factory 180km speed cut? thats often a good sign of a remapped ecu

any stickers on the ecu case?

[tom23q]

speed cut at 180km/h?

[vladinator]

speed cut at 180km/h?

all jap cars with stock ecu cut power at 180km/h

but with after market comp this can be avoided

lol in no way am i indicating he has, or should do anything illeagle... but i wonder if he knows/how hes gonna find out about the speed limiter... i'm sure it would be on a track....

I'm a bit late on the reply, but..

Its a stock ecu. speed limiter at 180. most it would usually rev to is about 7100, but i pushed it to nearly 8500 before I got scared and turned it off...

i reset it and now the limiter is back.

Rang bek @ platinum auto care (bundall), she said something along the lines of it was an ecu fault code and thats why resetting it fixed it...
