sparks Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Hello, Have been viewing this forum for a couple of months since buying my self a fairlady z with gt pack and have really enjoyed reading some of the banter that goes on between alot of you.I met nurrish yesterday with him fitting one of his sat nav systems which looks great just need to familliarise myself with the unit. Many thanks to dave for that However on my journey home had the chance to open the z up so off it roared as per usual with me happy as larry untill at +++ no more plenty of more throttle but zero response. so smile on my face Rapidly faded into dissapointment Now the problem is what can i do the car is a import and is a 2003 year and has 29000 on the clock. Now what TxxT would limit a sports car It beggars belief Having said that i know nothing about cars so am persuming that this is the problem.Have any of you good people have any thoughts on this rather irritating matter apart from the fact one should not be driving at +++ anyway but the road was clear honest lol thanks for letting me rant look forward to reading any responses Quote
Husky Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 japanese law im afraid, can be delimited in different ways. Quote
Ian Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 You need to buy a HKS speed delimiter. Pretty sure you can get them from Envy. All JDM cars are limited to 112mph Quote
lamby Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 you can get it de limited but i cant remember what make it is if you search you should find the answer mate it does seem a little pointless to limit a sports car i agree why make it go fast then limit it Quote
martinmac Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 You will see that you can no longer be prosecuted. Its not a problem and as you will have found out on the private road you were driving on the JDM is limited but this is easily sorted. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 unless your tracking it or drive in germany alot, why would you need yo go over 120? also if you get frustrated at that the UK cars are limited to 155 mph as well, like said before jap is limited 112mph, but a re flash to the ECU will do it and give a power increase, or the HKS de limiter will do it.

sparky370z Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 hi there, well the uk spec car is limited to 155, but i dont know if the import version is limited at all, so therefore if it was brought into the country and had to be limited (by law) the person doing it might have had a shocker and limited it wrong. hope this makes sense, but other members with far superior knowledge will be able to help im sure. Sparky EDIT: you learn something new everyday, i never knew Jap cars were limited to 112mph!!!! please ignore my complete ramblings above!!!!! Quote
Ebized Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 http://www.hksusa.com/categories/?id=1926 If you do an advanced search - put in 'delimiter' and the 'JDM' category, you will see there are several threads on the subject. Quote
sparks Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 thanks. for all your responses much appreciated.Will now look into it. and you are right why would i want to do more and the answer is i probably would not.however it was just not what i expected to be fair cheers again Quote
Harman350z Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I had the same problem the other day myself, i was like yeah.. yeah.. yeah... ohhh noooo... OBVIOUSLY i wernt driving it the digital clock went up to +21mph.. Quote
Chris`I Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 HKS Speed Defencer will get rid of it for you, but for not too much more money, you can have a reflash which will get rid of it and give you some more power. I'd go for a reflash. Try Abbey m/s or RSTuning on here Quote
sparks Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 thanks again for response. so is there any pitfalls to reflashining the ecu.? Also when i get into car now there is an audioble alarm when it starts up basicaly a ding dong never use to happen.but no warning lights come on .Im starting to feel like ive pulled the avon lady. lol can any ideas. cheers Quote
player2301 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 to me it sounds like your phone is connecting via bluetooth .. thats the ding noise lol Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 +1 just pull the BT module out, and see if it keeps doing it. Quote
