All,

What is the best way to remove the speed limiter from a 2003 V35 GT manual? I have searched and all I have found are "speed cut defenders are available", however I'm not overly sure what they are, where to get them and any negatives associated with them.

I am after the most reliable and cheapest method available without requiring a full ECU with the relevant tuning hassles. I do not intend to modify the car, just remove the speed limiter. I do not want to affect the fuel efficiency or any other tuning parameters the car.

Any suggestions including brands, suppliers and installers (preferably in SA) would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

The speed cut defenders are what you're after. Just a colourful Japanese use of English.

They will simply do exactly what your after and your cheapest option.

Unless you decipher Chris' cryptic message and/or are as talented as him when it comes to electronics. :D

Chris is making this into a cryptic crossword puzzle!

I could have looked it up and told you which wire to tamper with..

need to make some of you think :D

one point I did miss though - auto or manual? if auto it may fool with the shifting and toss a code or two.

no. but someone saw my logic.

to be honest IF you clipped the wrong wire there is a good chance the car wouldn't move.

speed cut device would do nicely. unless somone can tell me the voltage and frequency the sender is operating at around that speed.

Cutting wires doesnt require too much skill.. and if you cut the wrong one, then just solder it back again.

Ive clipped and spliced wires on my r33, when installing my apexi rsm to get rid of the speed limiter.

Not that hard, the apexi website gave me a diagram explaining what wire was what.

Took about 30 mins to install. and it worked perfectly! =)

Don't be too afraid to play around with your car! Its all about learning! hehe

Yeah im not surprised the V35 is more complicated... its a much newer car.

R33 is complicated enough for me! haha.

Anyway good luck!

But unless you gonna track it, cutting the speed limiter is not really needed.

top speed limit in WA is 110kmh.

going 180kmh+ on public roads is just f*cking stupid.

Everyone,

Thanks for the help, I think, though some of you are taking the piss... :)

Chris, I will freely admit I know nothing about car electronics, and have neither the time or inclination to learn, hence my question. Thatz where experts like you come in. Bombs and bullets, camouflage and concealment, rules of engagement, and fire and movement are my bread and butter...

Everyone, I welcome your continued input, and if anyone can advise of the cheapest reliable speed cut defender it would be appreciated.

Cheers.

PS. Itz for the track. I'm not an idiot.

PPS. Chris, itz a manual.

haha, glad to hear ur not an idiot

i would go the apexi rsm to get rid of the speed limiter.

Then you also get other features such as lap times / Qtr mile times and power output ratings (just a few of the features it offers)!

I got mind 2nd hand for 150$ plus the G sensor, which senses how much G force the car is experiencing.. helps to make more accurate readings.

tell that to one of the guys I do work for. have a van here (nissan thing) that I have to totally rework for htis market. has two screens and he wants the LOT to work here. so nav,tv,dvd, radio and a few extras. it has to be zoned as well. have it for as long as I need it thank god but its fun. put it this way I have a scope,sig gen,meter out pinning the thing out.

      Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      All of the ECU grounds are to the chassis, the IGN grounds are to the cylinder head and i believe all the OEM body harness are left in original locations, im trying to work out if i can tell if the sensor voltage itself is losing any power to it from the very low ECU voltage. But yeah a manual pressure gauge will help in picking which path to actually chase. Also please dont bully my wiring plan i never designed it to be universally understood hopefully it still can make sense to you, im a wiring virgin.  1 thing i have just noticed the pressure sensor in question relays both pressure and temperature, the temperature reading holds nice and steady despite the low ecu voltage but the pressure reading is the one that jumps around alot so maybe it is really a pressure issue? wiring plan.xlsx

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
