sparks Posted September 28, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 japanese law im afraid, can be delimited in different ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 28, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted September 28, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted September 28, 2009 Share 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.

rtbiscuit Posted September 28, 2009 Share 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 Share 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!!!!!

Ebized Posted September 28, 2009 Share 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.

Chris`I Posted September 29, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
