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

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 )

i'm not too sure how the speed cut defender works, but for bout 200 bucks i dun mind trying it out. if it's like wat u said then my turbo timer's speedo wun work rite?(it's wired into the ecu) anyways still waiting for u guys to get a cruise going, or a meet up, or whatever. can't wait to meet up with u guys again. btw i got whopped by a red nsx...i was in 5th doing 60 n this red thing just flies past doing sumthing like 130 i think...by the time i dumped the gear into 3rd he was thru the roundabout(indooroopilly) and gone man...his exhaust was the loudest thing i heard...(in vtec man)....now i want a honda...:burnout:

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

Bah Tze, that sounds like some excel fly by crap :uh-huh: He was scared that's all.

Well, the jamboree's earlish next month, so we'll have to try and organise a bit of a cruise out there hey, it's a saturday to, so there's plenty of time afterwards too.

[Birty]

Hey colin, where abouts are you mate, complete car sounds not a bad joint at all, very helpful staff. I'm at ferny hills, you a local ?

[Guest nismogtsx]

What do you mean by that Brity???

Are you having a go at me?????

[Birty]

No, not all. Just you mentioned complete car sound, thought you might live round the area that's all.

[Guest nismogtsx]

Im local, i used to live like just round the corner.....

But i live near Aspley now.......

Complete Car sound is the only place i have been

where they dont just try and sell you "Sony or Pioneer"

(ie. Auto Barn) they have a wide range and im mates

with the guys down there. I also hold a gold membership

at this joint so i get really good discounts.

[Birty]

I was gunna buy some stuff from them when i was doing my stereo, but ended up getting a good deal from a guy i work with on his old stereo so I didn't bother. But i'd definately go back there, went in and had a chat and the guy there was really good and helpful.

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!!
