A speed cut defender basically works as a bypass until you get to a preset speed. For example, at 100km/h it still says you're doing 100, but if you set the max speed to say 175km/h, at 180 it still thinks you're doing 175. And at 250, it still thinks you're going 175... so the ECU won't cut power. I've always been a little skeptical about them though, I'd much prefer a full aftermarket remap of the ECU which incorporates the speed cut removal. I'd feel much more comfortable doing it that way.

Your car sounds like a bit of a weapon mate... good work :cool:

Can you give me any more info on the alarm?? PM me if you like. I *might* be upgrading to a GTR shortly and would be very interested in putting something like that into it.

That's the same reason I've left mine alone. Not sure if it has mixture compensation for speed/gear or whatever, and who knows what else. One way to do it would be to put a switch on it - leave it stock until you want to blow past someone (on a private road of course :D )

These alarm systmes are aviable at any good car radio

joint. I got mine at Complete Car sound at Enoggera.

Its on pickering street. They do great deals and stock

heaps of good gear. They are full of great advise

and know how to work on a budget. Its just i got hooked

and went a little over board with my stereo. (ie. front

splits $1200 - and thats with a discount)

Mines a VDO system and it costs around the $1200 mark.

These days im sure their a bit cheaper. Anyway if the alarm

goes off you mobile will ring (I set the number to car alarm).

So when it rings the display on my trusty Nokia says

"CAR ALARM". From there you can hit the clear button and

this will reset the alarm. Just incase it was a crack of thunder

or a loud exhaust. But if it goes off again then dial the number

back and then type in your pin number and the car stops dead.

Simple system which works well.......

Only costs you the cost of the mobile phone call, but it can

save your car. I should also mention that the auto wind-up

kit and central door locking is an extra expense. But they

both simply connect to the VDO kit. I installed it myself and took

2 days to fit properly. I also fitted a auto start to it, so i can warm

the turbo up before i even get to the car.......

I call my car "Kit" as in kit from knight rider cause it has just as

many electronic gismo's at the real thing.........

NOTE: The model i am using is now out of date and there are

better kits aviable now. Also never mention the Model number

to anyone, cause the pin number for the system is the model

number plus one digit and therefore it can be very dangerous

when in the wrong hands.

ALSO NOTE: A thief can never tell what model it is as every wire

is a black wire and the model skiter is removable before installation.

Cheers Colin

Yes the car is a weapon........ Not only in the rain..........LOL

Not sure what you mean about your TT's speedo not working... I assume you mean that your TT acts as a digital speedo as well? If that's the case, you just have to make sure you wire it in BEFORE the speed cut defender, ie closer to the speedo sender, not the ECU.

What the hell were you doing going for 3rd gear at 60, you should be using second at that speed!! :D

    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
