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

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...
