Help me please,

I have just taken out my speedo to remove the screw to disable the speed limiter. The searches I have done said that it is on the back near a bulb around the 0 (on the front). I am unsure which one it is and have included a picture of the back to see if any of you know which it is.

Anyone know? I have heard about the wire 53(i think it is that number) but would prefer to undo a screw than cut a wire. So if you know you help would be appreciated.

I am about to go on a performance driving day and get to laps around the international raceway. So I need to disable it.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm no guru, but I understand that the wire 53 cut is for r32 only, and may have side effects. I think for 33 onwards you need to buy some technology (speed cut defender, apexi rsm etc).

Also, what track - unless it has a really long straight you're unlikely to top 180.

Can you post a pic of the whole back please.... What ever you do don't go and buy the speed cut defender, its a waste of money. One of my mates with a 4 door like yours did the same thing as me and took out the screw. So taking out the screw does work on yours. I'll print out your pic and take it down to my import mechanic who showed me how to take mine out, so i don't have to rip out my dash.

Cheers

when I was trying to find the speed sensor wire in my 32 I followed the tracks from the speedo to the plug in the back of the dash to find out which wire it was. From memory, there were only 3 or so tracks leading away from it. Mine had a couple of jap letters followed by SW written on the speed sensor track.

Will cutting (breaking the circuit) the wire do stupid things to your HICAS. I understand (from conversation) that the HICAS will error as Iit can't find a speed signal?

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
