As the title states, my FD from Japan is governed at 180km/hr!!!

How do I eliminate this?? Ive seen an item called the "Knight Sports FCD Fuel Cut Defencer" is this what we're talking about??

thanks guys!

 

I have one of those if you want it. But I dont know if that solves the problem for sure. I think that if you get a apexi PFC or any aftermarket ECU that it will solve that problem aswell.

 

not sure, but an fcd won't fix it.

 

I think on the JDM fc's it is just a matter of removing a screw on the back of the cluster that is marked "180kph" or something like that. Perhaps it is similar on the FD.

 

You can also get an SLD from HKS. Speed Limit Defencer. It will take care of that pesky 180kmph limit. I dont know if they make it for FD's though.

 

So when exactly are you going to have to go over 180km/h unless you're on a track. lol

 

Streetracer!!! Crush his car!!!


Oh wait...your not in Ontario.

 

^ Well on a serious note, are you going to be taking the car to the track? If not why do you need to remove this?

 

well.. i got stock computer on my fd
and my car doesn't govern at 180
i don't really know what my friend has done to this thou..

 

His is from Japan. They have limiters.

True enough - the Okanagan has fantastic sports car roads - its heaven for RX-7s - but it's real short of places you can safely leg it out.
If a standalone ecu isn't in the picture (or budget), perhaps a second-hand NADM ecu could be swapped in? I have no information that that would work, it's just an idea.

 

hit the coquahalla from hope to kelowna in the summer during the evening.. or early morning... id go for evening though since the road would be warmer still.... but even if you hit it mid afternoon theres bearly any traffic and rarely any cops. the road is pretty much straight and what bends it does have you can take at close to top speed.

just watch out what time of year you go.... it would suck to get caught up in some snow or have the road ice over in a shadey part.

if you want more fun go down the crow's nest or the canyon highway but i cant remember if you can top out there beause its pretty twisty.... but stay in your lane and dont cut the corners because you might end up hitting someone on a blind corner or hit the gaurdrail and go into the river ... lol.. its a lllloonnnngggg way down.


... we should peition the government to allow people to drive at whatever they feel comfortable at ... & i feel for all you guys out in ontario.. id move over the bc....

 

go with HKS procom i beleve it will take care of your governor even though you should'nt be driving that stupid on public roads.....

 

O.K. Glutton, now you're scaring me - this is what gives a lot of us a bad name. What about people in *your* lane, those who drive to go from A-B, near or under the speed limit. If you don't count with them on the road, driving at the limit, you'll come up to them in a real hurry. They don't need to be in the other lane past a blind corner to become a problem. /rant

OP, get a North American spec. ECU to get rid of that speed limiter - cheapest option.

 

I think we need an autobahn for people like this lol.

this guy got his answer on the 3rd gen section where he posted the same question.
all u have to do is cut a wire on the harness goin into the ecu.
thread closed.

 

oh i deffinatly agree with you. Im not suggesting that anyone drives at the limit on anywhere but the track......driving faster than the speed limit though within your comfort range and deffiantly not pushing the envalope is another story.

 

i love this old road its basically called "senic route" zero traffic and all it consits of is windy roads on hills and long flat straightaways so if there is traffic or police they can be spotted for miles away needless to say i found my new test strip

 

^^
wheres this road At. i will meet u there

 

lol its north of drumhellar i can give you directions we can have a meet there lol
