Dash Beep

[russCA240]

I have searched all over and cant find anything. There is this chime coming from the dash(like the one when your keys are in the ign) when I get to about 75 mph. What is this, some sort of speed warning?

[Kenji180]

If you have a J-spec car, I know that there is a chime if you go over 100kph (about 60), but other than that, I'm not too sure..

[Myetball]

You sure it's not the Flux Capacitor activation chime? By 87 mph it will be fully charged.

LOL @ Myetball!!!

But in answer to your question, thats a warning chime. Mine only comes on when I leave the keys in the ignition, or the lights on. If it's really bothering you, pull off the fuse box cover and in side twords the door you'll see a small metal box with a small (1/2 wire) white plug going into it. That is the dinger/flux capicitor activaor chime. Simply unplug it and the sound will stop. No more time travel though....

When I move around in my seat, that bell goes off. Mine is from some kind of sensor and the seatbelt. It's one of those things that makes you go hmmm.

BTW, I don't think any s13's had that speed chime...I think that's only the AE86's and maybe some other Toyotas. Too much Initial D. ;p

[Kenji180]

yup.. I think you're right on the Initial D thing!

[Dori Dori]

I used to be an initial d dork. See, I'm an anime fan period (hence the GTO avatar) and when I first saw the bootlegs a few years ago, I got one of those chimes imported from Japan. I know, I know; I'm a nerd. I never installed it though...want to buy it? I've got the schematics!

[russCA240]

i dont have a j-spec car but most of the stuff i do have is off the clip for my CA if that makes a diff. Also what did or do your bypass valves sound like?I think its 88mph Myetball

if you are using the ca cluster it has the speed chime in it

[float_6969]

Gani gets the prize! I knew that too! Darnit...

[iliketocrash]

i might be using my CA cluster. is the speed chime that little metal box on the back? how do i disable the chime?

[float_6969]

yes it is, and you just unplug it.

[PacManVR4]

Good to know...lol. thats the last thing I need.

[r34 gtr]

awesome! now i can stop having that 68mph gayness...its so friggin annoying on trips...

(110km/h --> 68.75mph and i think it comes on in my car about 108ish)

Dang, that is low! Is the speed limit really that low in Japan Land?

[iliketocrash]

so does it just beep once.. or continually as long as you're past the certain speed?

[ca18det_boy]

Hey Ryan did you get a motorset or a clip from venus?

[slw240sx]

as long as you above around 65mph is chimes constantly , really annoying i have a JDm cluter, but its not very loud and a radio can drown it out easy

[Dori Dori]

HA! So there is a speed chime.

So lame!

[CA19DET]

i got a JDM S13 (right hand drive and all of course) and it has a speed chime at exactly 110kph, i call it my drunk beacon...

and also since mine is/was a stock auto, it has the E-AT "power" and "hold" switch that will one day controll my n20, but for now it's my drive home from the party switch as hold doesnt let you rev past 3500rpm or so..

[float_6969]

Aaron, I got a front clip. I'm not happy with Venus. I'm rebuilding my motor due to bad rings....

[iliketocrash]

Aaron, I got a motorset. I'm not happy with Venus. I'm rebuilding my motor due to bad rings....

i got my motor from venus as well and i'm pretty sure my rings are blown as well.

[float_6969]

I think we need to boycott them....

[slw240sx]

mines a venus clip, blwon rings.

[float_6969]

Hmmm 2 of them now, thats odd...

[r34 gtr]

haha, venus clip: replacing the rings due to low compression. seems to be a trend, eh? course i think i had something to do with the rings being past their prime....still counts though! oh, oops. in class. peace out!
