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

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;)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
