i was looking through one of my option magazines and found a DIY on the FC. I dont know what it does because i cant read japanese and there isnt enought info in the pics for me. if anyone has an idea of what this mod is please doo tell

 

ahuh. Well a picture of what the hell your talking about would be great! let alone what part of the FC the article shows for the DIY.

You do mean Do it yourself right?

 

The big katakana on the right side says:
ri-mi-ta ka-t-to
"limiter cut"

It's probably the speed limiter mod.
You remove a screw on the instrument cluster, and this removed the 180kph (113mph) speed limited mandatory on all J-spec vehicles.

The US-spec FC's do not have this "feature".

I'd agree with RETed, I've seen that ad in the forum last year. I think it was for the 112mph limit kill

Speaking of which, a 390 gearing makes it hardly a feature, maybe if we were running 510 gearing

 

That pic looks like tha back of your dash cluster. Just to add.

 

o yeah, its the back of the dash cluster and then theres an arrow that points to a chip of somethign on the back.

 

Ted's got it. You can even see "180km/h" in the Japanese text, and the arrow pointing to the screw.

US owners, do not attempt this mod...

 

because we dont have to? or because it will have consequences?

 

just as ted said

 

Because you can't. It's not there to do.

 

yeah I just did mine. I though for sure the old owner would have done this already.

I had to laugh when I read about you hitting the speed limiter on the dyno. Exactly the same thing happened with my 84 Cosmo. I had no idea it had a speed limiter and I don't think the dyno operator did either. I'm not sure which of us got the bigger fright. It certainly sounded spectacular from behind the car...
