Speed limit.. Japan cars

[xplod55]

I have an e36 328i which is imported from Japan,, and I was surprised last Friday that the car reached 200km/h easily and stopped accelerating...!!!

The rpm came back to around 4 and stopped there..
So are all cars imported from Japan limited to a certain speed...

And how is this limit removed, and is it costy..??
Is it risky with any of the electronics in the car...??

Not that we endorse such driving, in fact we frown upon such acts.

However, and to my knowledge, JDM spec BMWs do not have the speed limit enforced on JDM Japanese cars. However, the limit can be removed. Contact Shak X and see if he can work his magic on yours, otherwise a chip would do just that. You can contact member Jassem99 for a hookup.

i think your speedometer is not working properly as well, according to my knowledge it should be limited to 180 km/h not 200 and this is standard in all JDMs
even japanese monsters like skyline GTR come with this speed limit (180 km/h)

The first R34 GT-R I've driven wouldn't go beyond 180km/h, though it got there REALLY fast, but it was a huge disappointment for me.

[mahmoud_bedewi]

it would go beyond 180 km/h if and only if the GPS detects that it is in a japanese race track.....one of the features of a JDM GTR R34 is that it unlocks its speed limiter if it detects it is in one of the japanses race track
due to the famous 180 figure i think xplod55 speedo is not working properly

Yes thats true, ive seen in one of those Jap videos that the limiter unlocks once on track and the GPS detection is something ive never come across ever.. Interesting way !

If he doesnt feel that the accelerator pedal is fighting back then no it is not restricted and it would be that the car cant go beyong 200 for other reasons

Agree with Nabil, if the car can go beyond 180 km/h there could be other reasons for it not crossing 200.. Most of the Japanese cars are locked at 180 km/h, I have Nissan Altima and Toyota Land Cruisers in examples, all come locked at 180 km/h and not more..

what do u mean by pedal is fighting back
what i know is that some kind of fuel cutoff happens

[Nabil]

exactly, you would feel the fuel cutting in the pedal, it would rfuse to be pressed to the max, I used to get that with my SS and the X Evo 7 (Japanese spec)

[mahmoud_bedewi]

X Evo 7 (Japanese spec)

interesting topic to discuss, so u had an EVO before?

[Nabil]

yep!

[xplod55]

i conclude from that...
Better to keep below the 200 limit, and avoid messing around with the car's own will

My jap M3 EVO:///M: goes way past 260 klicks without a problem.The only restriction jap cars have is a speed restrict buzzer thats all!!!!.
Seems like there is an issue with the DME electronics (sensors).
Drop by the "X" for a free diagostic check (GT1).
