Speed limit, how to overcome ?

Recommended Posts

My car is a Jap spec and i don´t have any limit when i pass

180km/h! Is there a speed limit on all supras Jap/UK/US ?

 

Which options is there if you want to remove your speed limit ?

I have been told that my speed limit is gone because I got a UK chip in my car!? So my speedometer is showing KM/H but my odometer is Mph!! could that be the reason ? Or i must have a speed limiter unit somewhere ?

 

I hope someone can answer on this questions :)

 

//Thanks!

You must have a de-limiter fitted somewhere if the odo is counting in miles. Something will be dividing the signal by 5/8ths.

Is the speedo correctly reading in K/PH or is it M/PH but still with the old 180 K/PH dial fitted, in which case you just need to fit a replacement dial, if the speedo signal is also divided.

Hmmm, is Sweden metric by any chance? Just wonder if TRD do a 320km/h dial... would be a little pricey but would look right on the dash.. Then remove the convertor and just have a delimiter fitted.

Yes, I have exactley that TRD 320KM/H meter installed in my Supra and it works 100% perfect! But my Odometer is showing Miles!! When i got the car it was the stock "180km/h" meter... but i got a TRD 320KM/H from Japan and installed it and works great very accurate, I have checked with my GPS :)

No thats a tricky one. For instance my one is wired ito the plugs for the speedo face and Odo pod and sits behind the dash board.

 

TBH I don't see you have a problem, your speedo works and your odo counts in miles.
