Hey man what's up.

Yep, go ahead and snip that wire and the speed limiter is gone. Your speedo will still work perfectly as well.

Now as far as which tranny sensor's to un-clip, well you know how there's two round shapped ones and there's two more rectangular shaped ones? Well I un-cliped the rectangle shapped ones and that removed the rev limiter and again, the both the tach and speedo gauges worked just fine.

Hope that helps.

Yep thats all there is to it man. Snip the wire, ECU is in the passenger side panel, unclip the squared plugs, tape them up properly and bingo..... NO SPEED LIMITER or REV LIMITER!

okay i did everything 1st thing yes all speed/rpm/gas gauges work!!

BUT

I notice the engine gets a bit loudder thatn before at around 5500 rpm when racing it and yes it went over 7 k rpm

but is that safe with stock internals. i mean i dont wunna blow the engine up lol

and it uses more gas than usual so i say mpg did go down in my case a bit

i havent yet taken it to see if the governor its gone well i hope so, i hate it.hahaha

the rev in redline well kinda got me a bit nervious it seems the engine forces itself a bit more when it goes in the redline is that normal??

correct me if Im wrong I guess u need the NO REV limit so u can take full advantage of the NO Governor trick. cuz if it had rev limit it would bounce off n wouldnt let u go faster when u got to 55k rpm in 5th gear.right? maybe? lol

or just the normal 6ish k before redline ? ( it seems the no rev limit its more of a backup like 500 more over the line to be safe.

ok so i have some problems , ( i have a 89 240 coupe SOHC )first off i cut the yellow/green wire in the 32 pin.. i thought then i went to test it and i still hit my speed limiter ....

than after that i crimped that wire back together and went to do it the hard way , i spliced into the wire , made a switch , disconnecter the tranny sensors , and wraped everything up . than i went to test it and i still hit it ! even after i flipped the switch .... so i came home again and i dont know what i should do ...any suggestions?

has anyone tried cutting the tach signal to the ecu to see if that removes the rev limiter? since cutting the speed signal to the ecu removes the speed limiter shouldnt that work the same for the tach.

From my own personal experience (5 speed swap didn't swap the ECU) I can say I don't have a rev limiter or speed limiter. The lack of a rev limiter worries me on wet asphalt roads.

Hey guys I know this is an older post but I am hoping someone will notice. I did a lil bit different then the instructions. I took yellow wire with green stripe from ecu..pin 32....and I made a switch out of it. Kind of a cautionary route in case things get sticky later on down the line with anybody claiming I was going a certain speed. Anyway it is a well hidden switch.

So my question was if done properly the neutral rev limit still be in-tact right. I didnt really have a place where I can test the speeds required to answer my question. Just curious cause the neutral rev limit shouldnt be affected.

Will cutting #32 and removing speed sensors work on s14 also?

Will this work on an 89 KA24E 240SX?

I am thinking of snipping both of the wires, and putting two switches for the wires on the passenger kick wall..

Would you need to unhook the sensors on the transmission aswell?

As far as the 89 I think it is the same pin but check the pinouts for the ecu and yes to remove the rev limits you either need to disconnect the tranny sensors for those gears. It is pretty simple to figure out the sensors cause once you unplug one all you have to do is get in your car and place your car in 4th with the clutch pushed in and revv up to 6200rpm same with 5th. If it goes to 6200 then you know you have the right ones.

The S14 again check your pinouts you can find them here. I found them in Excel format but there might more lingering around. I think stated somewhere that the wire is yellow with a green stripe and that is on S14 also. Not sure but check ECU pinout. Oh and my top speed limiter or governer that kicks ya off around 112 or something....I have a switch inside the glove box. One of those little switches and its black. I put it in the top right corner of the glove box....very hard to find and my glove box still locks.

I switch my 91 240sx ECU(manual tranny) for an Automatic ECU and it does the job, it does not cut off. I usually only read the post this is my first time posting something. I have a 240sx 91 STS turbo set up ready for the final settings hopefully it will up and running next week.

If your car is an auto, then it shouldn't have the limiter.

Can anyone please tell me if S13 and S14 auto ECU's are interchangeable?Thanks for any info.

Most stock tunes out there are very conservative. If you were to get a standalone and tune it right you'd get good gas mileage... You also wouldn't have to worry about the speed limiter

I know that's a really old post, but thought someone should throw that in. Also, someone mentioned killing the tach signal... They weren't talking about the CAS signal were they? (from the dizzy, not the late 240 tranny CAS) That sounds like it'd be a really bad thing.

Alright, I have a s13 and removed the limiter/governor....Just cut pin wire 32, and pulled the two middle plugs. Bingo.

My question is, is it the same process for the S14? Trying to get one, hopefully will have it in a few weeks. Thats the first thing thats gotta go lol.

I think one of them is a round plug, one is square....its been a while since I was under there, but I looked at the diagrams linked to earlier in the post. It is the two middle ones in a sequence of 1 2 3 4. 2 and 3 get pulled, 1 and 4 stay. Never hit the limit again.

Only thing is if you don't pay attention to your tach, prolly not the best thing to do...not paying attention and you will be pinging redline....definitely not good.

Do I have to unplug the sensors from the trans, or just put a switch on the VSS to ECU wire?
