went to mates private property and did a run , speedo kept going past 180 and but figure it must be out a bit though it went near to perhaps a 200km mark , then backed off as was running out of road

Also have purchased a Speed Meter , though R6n350gt has put a tutorial on how to install up will be taking the car to auto elecs to hopefully sort out the delimiter using the Speed meter , will keep track of results and post up once done , if it is figured out then $135 is a good price to delimit car , as well as recording 1/4 mile times,

Yeh you can deff recal it. there are shops in syd that can do it.

Please: do tell how!

My V35 sedan is very much out of whack due to tyres/wheels, and I have been quoted many, many hundreds of dollars to have the recalibration (to within +/- 1kmh) done.

As mentioned before, the speedo guage stopping at 180 can be solved with the nismo guage set which runs upto 280 kmph. The actual speed limit can be fixed with various speed limit removers. Most jap tuners that make electronics make them. The pivot one is probably the most reasonably priced at only about $150 delivered. They have digital speed display upto 350kmph and they remove the speedcut.

Here is the link on nengun

Even if you have the nismo gauges already so dont need the digital speed too, these units are still cheaper than all the other speed limit removers. Cant confirm compatibility as i havent looked into them too much. HKS and other brands also make speed limit removers but are more expensive, the HKS ones are around $350 but i think they are model specific.

If youre having issues with speedo being out, your probably better off picking up a guage like scanguage or something that reads speed off the ODB port and allows for adjustments. I know the scanguage does allow adjustments in the speed as i think they are originally designed for 4wd's which often run larger wheels and have speedo issues. You can pretty much just put in a % correction for what it displays on the screen. This could be worked out with a tire size calcualtor to see the % speed difference and confirmed as correct with a GPS.

The HKS one should work at least but I wouldn't recommend cutting the CAN line to install it, all your speed data goes down the CAN line, there is no speed signal wire going to the ecu to bend. Just get an aftermarket ecu from Japan.

i just did a googled speedo recal sydney found some places but call around a few performance places they should be able to do it, Croyden auto sports should be able to do it.

Who would you have to see to have that installed Ben?

Well thats a good point, a bit risky cutting into the can line.. all these new bus type setups are awfully complicated to work with when there arent plug and play electronics available. Not sure where you would have it installed, or rather who you would trust to have it installed.

It seems the pivot unit at least has been confirmed as not working for speed limit removal in this DIY article http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/364333-pivot-speed-meter-v-diy/

but the speedo does work for anyone that wants an alternative to the nismo guages.

Fortunately for us though, as mentioned there are many tuning companies where you can just buy an already flashed ecu with speed cut removed and other features. They fill up like a whole page in hyper REV.

Hmm i think the best option is going to be to get the nismo dash to keep the car looking clean on the inside and get the ECU flashed or replaced gona be expensive but will keep the car looking clean on the inside which is what i like.

*skips all posts

I have an apexi thingo ma bob which removes the 180km/h limit.

I hit 200km/h and it makes a buzzing sound.

edit: Or you can use your apexi hand controller to record your top-speed.

but srsly i'd look down, 200km/h isn't that fast.

AAAAAAAAND you have a car that uses a single signal wire to the ecu that the apexi interrupts and changes

the V and M chassis use the CAN network to transmit it

its the communications network that many of the devices and sensors use to communicate to the ECU and each other.

if you cut it, it MAY sever some essential communications. what if the ECU needs to see your speed when you hit the brakes and ABS kicks in? what happens if your engine stalls every time you pull up because the ECU didnt know you were moving.

there are hundreds of potential problems. and many people will ignore scott's warning, and this one. but its your car, cut away!

This makes me think it will be better just to install speed meter for display of speed and Other settings rather than cutting this wire , really don't want to stuff up the speed signals

best advice, ever lol

Also with the pivot speed meter it can tell you how fast you went with a press of a button. So dont look, just drive then once you have stopped or slowed you can press to see what the max speed was and the max g-force in acceleration and breaking :) 188 was the most i could get out of it with a quick run on private road. I have not tried to max it out yet..

As to another ECU, i was on the verge of getting a technosquare flashed ECU from a 350Z but even though it would match up i would have to get my keys reprogrammed so the BCM would work with the immbolizer again

If you gonna do all that crap you may aswell get a pivot speed meter and a Utec EMS which has got speed limit removal feature and then you can get your car tuned and get more HP out of it... be cheaper that nismo gauge, flashed ecu, reprogrammed keys etc..

Pivot speed meter is easy as piss to install, the Utec will be too (dont worry ill write a guide lol) and then get a tune. $200 an hour, 1-2 hours max if still NA.

So $150 del for pivot speed meter

$400-450 for Utec delivered (second hand)

Install both yourself = free

tune $400

Total *ish $950 for a tuned car, more HP (usually 8-10RWHP from a tune once u have bolt ons), delimited and a speedo upto 350km that can record top speed, top g force in acceleration and braking, show g force on the fly, and do 100,200 and 400m timed runs :)

If you go 280km speedo $600-800

HKS delimit $300-$400

Install = who knows.. $200+

Total *ish $1100 min

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
