Fd governed at 180 km/hr... how do I eliminate?!?!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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 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
