HKS SLD 3 z3 english diagram (speed limit removal)
 

for those of you with the Japanese spec, JDM, rx8 and are limited to 180kph.


the HKS SLD typeIII z3 works fine. it only takes 30 minutes to install, but when it activates at 180kph, it switches of the cars DSC system.


and i have attached the wiring diagram with english translation :)

I would be really interested to see how this device actually works.
That wiring diagram shows it to be spliced into the CAN bus, intercepting it before the PCM (and not into the speed sensor wires as the PDF indicates).

MM, you should see the way HKS tap into GT-R's computer with their VAC.

i am no expert on which part of the ecu bus etc, but the diagram was supplied by HKS europe. and it works.

were you looking at the the ecu or the back of the ecu plug? from the wireside.

Doesn't matter.
Those are pins 4V and 4S, which are CAN_H and CAN_L.

I have a japnese rx8 which locks up at 185kmph. I am thinking of buying one of these.
Is turning off of dsc the only side effect?
Does it hamper the car in any other way?
Is it safe?
What is JDM?
Have you installed it?
Any comments?
Where can I get it?

You are better off spending a little more money and buying Hymee Scanalyzer Pro Tuner or Cobb AP (not sure if they support JDM yet). You'll be able to remove speed limiter and control a lot of other things by programming the ECU.

i considered the Cobb as it has a few other useful features, but apparently it doesnt work with jap spec cars. and i only want to remove the speed limit. ( at the moment)

What is the differrence between sld type 1, type 2 and type 3?
Does type 1 and 2 work with rx8?
Can somebody give me a direct link to sld which shall work with my manual 6 speed rx?
What is the expected price?

Is there any chance of cobb being released for rx?

reason : cuz this shit is completely overpriced. useless, causes CEL

Sorry i meant cobb for rx8 japnese version. So does anyone know when is it coming out.

Contact Hymee for Scanalyzer Pro Tuner. Works on Japanese domestic model RX-8s like a charm.

MM..
i have no idea why this works the way it does, but it does:)

there no noticible effect as you hit 180kph, there are no CELs and the dsc doesnt seem to deactivate as HKS said it would. well, the light doesnt come on anyway.

shame really, as i think i might be removing it and opting for the AP when you are able to supply them.

how much for the SLD z3 ?

sld Z3 is about 270 euro

check this out: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HKS-Speed-Limi...item43957e9d77

if you can pay 500 euro is better to purchase an access port from mazdamaniac and he can remove the speed limiter + you tune your rx8 for better performance and reliability.

pm me if you need more info.

does anyone know if it actually works?

the accessport works on european rx8s.

there have been quite a few turbocharged rx8s running the accessport.

Sorry if it's dumb ....
 

This might be a dumb question but would this work on an rx8 in the United states ?

There is no point, and it causes CEL, JDM or USDM

there is no speed limit on MT Rx8 sold in the states btw.
