BladesGrant Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Looking for a little help from any JDM that has had the UpRev. Even though the top limit has been removed (can go above 122mph) my speedo still seems to stop just shy of 120mph (which I believe is around 112 after the conversion from kph to mph) but the revs still keep climbing. Has anyone else noticed this after having UpRev or using the the other methods to remove the limit? Before anyone says I wasn't testing this on public roads!! I will also drop mark a PM to ask.

BladesGrant Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Oh yeah I noticed it was faster, just wondered why the speedo would still stop if its an electronic limit that has now been removed. Just my own curiosity that wants to know as I would have thought that with the limit off the speedo would go up with the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace it with a nismo cluster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Mine is a JDM and I've had both the HKS SLD and nismo ecu and mine carries on past 120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladesGrant Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 I will have to check to see if there is a needle stopping it from going any further. I suppose once you get past that speedo your speedo is irrelavant anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Grant, have you got a speedo convertor fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 I believe there is Mark. I think it was done when the car was imported as I have a certificate of some sort regarding the speedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I think its illegal not knowing the speed you are doing but being as your going over 120mph I dont think it makes much odds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to look at that mate cause I always have mine on the temperature. Its not something I can just pop out and try either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic of the digital speedo is this more accurate or do both read the same speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 On the topic of the digital speedo is this more accurate or do both read the same speed? Think they are synced... use a GPS to get the proper speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 my digital speed is a lot closer to GPS speed than the analog dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Analog speedo is out by between 7 to 10mph, digi is out less, GPS is spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
