my 1jz cuts out at 120mph??
 

blah blah blah blah blah blah....
yeah my car cutas out at 120mph..
why?
oh and im sorry that since i got it upp to 120 on the streets that that makes me a street racer..haha
my car isnt a track car its my dd and i wanted to see what it had..
im sorry if that puts your panties in a wad..
no one got hurt so get the hell over it..
go argue about street racing somewhere else please..
or get a life..
thnx to anyone who is real help..
not to the street racer police..

I'm not sure, but could it be a speed limiter? I don't take my vehicles up to those speeds so I really don't know, but I know in my Tacoma the speed limiter is somewhere around 120 mph.

Anyone know what the speed limiter is on the Supra. I'd think it would be higher than 120, but I'm not sure.

thnx supera.
i dnt think there is any type of limiter in a 1jz tho..
can anyone else help??

I would guess your car has a builtin rev limiter to keep you from blowing your engine.

I own an "87 MKIII n/a. I have driven fast and have the tickets to prove it. As a teenager I lived a relatively small town I did some some street drag racing. But, for your safety and the safety of others I suggest that you do not race on the street unless you want to go to jail after killing some one.

In Florida it is against the law to spin your tires on the road. A mandatory appearance before the judge. I do not know what the penalty would be.

Good luck and be safe,

Speed cut, I have a mines ecu so I don't have that problem. I'd look into an aftermarket ecu or a speed cut defencer. I thought I read somewhere that you could cut a wire and eliminate it as well but I don't know for sure.

hey thnx kwnate.
that sounds like something that would cause the problem..
good thing i havent invested in a 6 speed..haha
id never get to use it..

Moronic Behavior -
 

The fix is easy and straight forward - but I do not help wanna be posers who put innocent peoples lives at stake by street racing.

I truly hope that next time you pull this crap - you end up before a judge who knows how stupid and dangerous this idiotic behavior is!

You want to go fast and test your limits - take it to the track - there are at least 3 road race tracks within easy driving distance of you - offering track days. So go there be safe and do some actual racing!

Unless of course you know you are a poser who would get his butt beat by guys who actually know what they are doing!

If you want to just go fast - head out to the local drag strip.

You are a dangerous moron who has put other peoples lives at stake. I wish you had the duty of going to a mother and tell her her child was killed by an out of control street racer! thats the only way you will ever realize how stupid and destructive this behavior is!

whoa!
calm down!
im not a damn street racing poser. lol
actually these were the first two times ive ever had my car that fast.
obviously considering im just finding out that it cuts out at 120mph.
i understand what your saying and im not wanting to put anyone at risk.
i wouldnt have done this if it were rush hour or the roads were full.
both times all the lanes were empty besides me and the other car.
but i know what your sayin.
i guess at the time i wasnt thinking.
so chill out with the name calling.
calling me names over the web doesnt make you a bad ass it just makes you look like an ass.

i do agree, street racing usually ends up bad.
and i know where the tracks are and will be there once i fix this problem im having.
thnx

Rev Limits
 

Carl,

I loved your reply. Mine why was not pointed enough. We have had about a half of dozen street racing fatalties here in the Orlando, FL area in the last few years.

The judicial system got a law passed that you can not spin your tires on pavement, or the old word "scratch off". The speed and erratic and agreesive driving on the streets was really bad here about ten years ago..

The penalty is for street racing is pretty stiff, even for being a spectator. We recently had a spectator killed and three months later the arrested the driver who was driving the killer car.

Why dont you guys go yell at people in this thread. http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ouve-seen.html

Lets keep this on topic and try to help this guy fix his problem..

Like I originally said, the solution is straight forward - but I have no interest in helping anyone engaged in street racing in any way, shape, or form!

and his reply - "I'm not a street racer" at the same time admitting he was "street racing" - laughable. and his defense - It was the first time - I don't normally do it! - try that on a judge or a grieving mother!

carl and dan = d bags
get a life.

thnx

Get a life he says - Lets examine me “getting a life” - shall we, at least in terms of cars and other vehicles. So you can go to this website - www.sorcrace.com, and look myself and my brothers up. SORC is an open road race through part of Nebraska - take a look at the results - we have had a win and a second place in the past 3 years. What were you doing with your life in the summers?

And go check this out www.saltflats.com. Check out the “130 MPH club. More Johanssons that any other family on the list, including the oldest member (My Dad) and the youngest member - my nephew, with 8 or 9 other members - what have you been doing with your life? Also scroll through the rest - you should see our runs on the track for the last 8 years or so!

So what does this have to do with Supras you say? Check this out:
www.24hoursoflemons.com
We run the Texas Races every year - you can find us in the results - last spring 8th out of 97 cars. We also ran the thunderhill race 2 years ago , and will do it again this fall. We have 2 different supra markIII we use for this! Check out the Jalopnick links if you want to see pictures of our car!

Oh yah - in my spare time - I ride dirt bikes - including a 400 mile ride through lower Michigan with 4 of my brothers this summer. Here’s a quick report on it.
www.johanssonbrothersracing.blogspot.com

older posts include from the lemons races etc.

So that’s my recreational life - how’s that - does it meet your standard for having a life?
Now how about professionally?
Research Biologist who travels all over the world looking at Bats, Tardigrades, and doing large scale ecology. Lots of publications, just discovered a new species - works in the arctic and the Amazon.

And go do a search on the US Patent office to find my current patent!

Sorry to say that I do not meet your definition of “having a life” as I have never seen any of the Fast and Furious Movies, nor do I play video games. I prefer to actually do the stuff - you know - race cars and bikes, capture Jaguars, and anacondas, travel to the Arctic and South America doing work –

So hows your “life” treating you? Scored 12 million points on “couch potaoto racers” video game yet? Sat in the bathtub making car noises pretending to be actually driving a race car this week!

this thread is way off its topic
 

wow your one really kool guy!
haha
look man i dont really care about your life..
im just saying to drop all the b s about street racing..
i agreed with you in the first place..
gettin your car up to 125 a couple times doesnt make you a street racer punk..
im tired of fighting with you..
its stupid.
if you want to argue with people about street racing start your own thread about how much you hate street racers..
im over it.
thnx

It sounds like your dad governed the car. A stock mk3 should top out at around 156mph acording to Wikipedia. Hope you get it figured out man.

you got a 1jz... i think maybe its governed? japanese cars have speed governors on them. maybe theres a way to bypess it or something? like kwnate said. google it

haha my dad governed the car..
na, i def didnt get this car from my dad but yeah i guess in some cases that would be the deal..
lol

thnx guys ill check that out..
i didnt think that japan governed there cars tho..
learn somethin new everyday..

thnx again

About street racing
 

I think its stupid and its the reason California is anal as hell about car mods I take my car to the track when some asshat challanges me but I dont think you guys need to yell at him for driving fast to top his car out I do it on abandoned road type or rural areas all the time and ive never even come close to hurting anyone give the kid a break. But I also agree you need to be safer dont even get your car going on the interstate find a track or abandoned road to test that shit. I can tell your not trying to street race or hurt anyone so they need to lay off on you a bit.
