im expecting about 200 rwkw on the stock turbo with supporting mods.

I'm aiming for the same. You went an SAFC II?

emanage ultimate

It's a little more pricey yeah? Removing speed limiter is a must, i don't want approx. 200rwkw and then limit it to 180km/h, then there's no point making extra power :P

i went pfc but safc will be fine but no speed cut maybe get a safc2 and a speed cut defencer to save on cost from what ive read emanage ultimate is a very good piggyback if you find the right tuner to install they are like 800 + 500 for tune which is far less than the 1500 + 500 for a pfc

Edited by SevenAngryPenguins

I Sold my SAFCII to my brother for $200, Unique is goin to fit it For $150 & Tune for another $150, $500 all up.

If your going to do major mods later I would go for SAFC option

I Had FMIC, Boost control and SAFC had approx 200Kw atw pulled 13.3 1/4 mile on 19"s

i agree safc+rsm cheap and effective

Good point fellas. So it'll work out cheaper to get SAFC II & the RSM together + tune rather than something expensive like an EMU or Power FC...

I'm gonna head down that path by the look of it.

Ahhh can i still achieve 200rwkw without the SAFC? I'll end up with one anyway because the factory fuel maps don't milk maximum power i know.

Just get an ecu. You already said you're gonna upgrade th car in the future.

its not the cheapest option for sure, but its the best.

we don't drive skylines to save cash now do we...

i have done it mate. from memory it is wire 32, dont quote me on it though.

nothing bad has happened to my car, it is better than ever.

besides u only cut the speed/HICAS diagnostic wire.

besides u should remove hicas anyways....get a lock bar

UPDATE: I took the 33 for a run last night to see when the speed limiter cut in. I hit 180km and nothing happened. The speed gauge continued to increase into 'nothing' reading, i'd say it hit 190km before i backed off.

What's the story here? Doesn't the limiter exist? Or does the dail only SAY it does 180km?

ALSO installed an R34 side mount intercooler...made a BIG difference so i think i'll hold off on the front mount for now, and save for an SAFCII + tune.

Cheers :angry:

It does exist. But the combination of the speedo being out at high speeds, and the fact that your rims are probably a different radius from stock result in your indicated top speed going over 180kph when you hit the limiter.

Good point, they're 17's on now. But i thought AT 180km the ECU would kick in, regardless of the rotational speed of the wheels.

Is there a way to find out if my ECU is modified? I removed the kick panel and had a looksie but i'm unsure of what's what.

Cutting wire 53 removes the speed limit and no it doesn't get rid of your Hicas, whoever told you that is an idiot, its the speed signal wire and the Hicas diagnostic wire. From your gearbox you have a speed signal wire into your dash, then from your dash to the Hicas computer in the boot and to the ECU in the kickpanel. With it cut your car will do about 230-240 with basic mods.

The reason people say that you get rid of the 180 speed limit with aftermarket computers is because aftermarket computers don't have this feature built into them.

Another reason why people say that the SAFC or RSM removes the speed limiter is because they use the speed signal wire......which most people cut and wire to the SAFC or RSM, see the pattern here? It's all to do with that one wire.

Aahhhh makes sense now hehe. Thanks mate, i'll take another look at the ECU. If i feel confident i've found NO. 53 i'll give her the chop :wave:

Looking forward to freedom lol

speed cut comes in at 5,000rpm in 5th gear which in my car is 190km/h... which I hit about 3/4s down most straights ON THE TRACK

I can't for the life of me think why you would go bother chopping wires other than then you can brag to your mates about how quickly you were going when you got done for speeding......... and how for the next 6 months you will be needing a lift;)

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
