Best one had to be "black leather interior" and then scroll down to see a photo of a cloth interior - if you're gonna lie, at least don't put up a photo of it!

[LennyLexus]

[marsden1002]

and why does the dial only go to 180kh/m, thats only 110MPH????

[taz_no1]

as the topic is open

my altezza rs200 shows 180mh on clock but only gets 2 125mph at a push

any reson why its does that

am sure its mph koz av compared it with my is200

at 125 there is no more throtle starts 2 force it self back up

[Mr Singh]

Maybe its limited :)

[MacRS200]

Maybe its limited :)

Indeed it is Sir :D

[altezzawill]

it sure is limited! normally to 200 kph which is 127mph!

persomally think there is sumthing a little fishy about that car!

i wonder was it crashed and repaired with lexus parts or is it jus confused about wat it really is!

[Noel]

I thought all Jap imports are limited to 112 mph .......

[altezzawill]

i cant speak for all but i know mine goes off the clock an stops at bout where 200kmph should be!

have u tryed yours yet?

[MacRS200]

180KPH = 112.5MPH hence the 180 on the speedo

i cant speak for all but i know mine goes off the clock an stops at bout where 200kmph should be!

have u tryed yours yet?

I have tried mine (on the track) and with the speedo converted it kicks in at 120MPH, allowing for the usual optimism of the speedo that is give or take 112MPH

If you have the speed limiter removed, and assuming you have a KPH speedo it will go off the clock :D

[altezzawill]

my car is still speed limited so maybe my speedo is not right but it definatly goes past 180km and most jap cars i've been in go past 180km by a good bit before limiting!

can't all have faulty clocks can they?

what rpm in what gear do u limit?

[Robin H]

mines been converted to mph

and I know it goes over 112mph, not saying how much over ;)

but I can tell you my car is doing 110mph when it hits the limiter in 4th

the law wasn't broken to find this out

Speed Restrictor:

In Japan there is a legal requirement for all cars to have a speed limiter at 180 km/h, which is equivalent to 112mph. Most Turbo owners report a top speed restricted to approximately 5,250 rpm in 5th gear (about 125mph), and is said to be based around cutting the spark to the engine.

The speed limiter can be removed, and amongst other companies Intech (see above) will do it for approximately £180 + VAT, or this can be done as part of a Unichip ECU chip upgrade, which typically costs around £380 + Fitting.

Note: Many owners report that a side effect of having a speed delimiter fitted is that the Power Assisted Steering can become over-light, as the car thinks it is traveling at a lower speed than it actually is. (This is because the speed signal is also sent to the PAS ECU, and is used to judge the amount of steering assistance to be given)

Any removal of the speed restrictor may require a subsequent change of speedometer, as it is reported that the needle will hit the bottom of the dial at about 120mph, and some owners have had problems with needles sticking there !

Page down this LINK for the original text also check out the MkIV Supra Owners Club, 120 on the clock in MPH and that is it.

Ian, your still looking at Altezzas

Just keeping an eye on what's out there! :winky: I'm more than happy with the ATR :D :D

[taz_no1]

maybe its restricted but im sure it reaches 125mph but min is not turbo

as far as i know

there is also a trip/timer/digi speedo next to drivers 'a' post im sure that has some thing to do with rev control(because car drive different dependin on how its setup)

its branded ultra may be its a con cam

If you fit an Apexi RSM it can by-pass the top speed limiter.... but where are you going to see if it works? Mondello? ....... dosen't have a long enough straight?

my limiter is working and i'm keeping it, to stop any stupid temptation........ :winky:

[taz_no1]

jus checked on Apexi RSM looks simlar 2 the ultra meter wat is all ready there

Well with the Limiter by-passed you have a 140mph car..... which will get you jail time unless you take it to an unrestricted Autobahn..... :winky:
