My car doesn’t go past 180km/h (10 Viewers)

[Afreed H]

Hello mates! I got a VDJ200 GX manual. It’s working great, no problem so far. My only concern is why my car doesn’t go past 180 km/h. It looks like it has a speed limiter that doesn’t allow my car to reach its full potential. Is there any way I could remove the speed limiter thing from my car?

What RPM is it doing at 180?

That sounds about right for the V6, they are limited to 175km/h (108mph). I believe the V8s are limited to 210km/h (130mph)

A VDJ should have the 4.5TD though..

I’m also curious what RPMs OP is seeing at 180

I've never driven my 200 even close to that speed. I'm so boring in my 7,000 lb vehicle. I'll save high speed for more purpose built machines.

Did Toyota make the 200 with a 4.5 TD and a manual transmission?

edit, guess so.

Can't help OP, but can confirm the V8 goes past 180kph.

A medical emergency a couple years back opened my eyes to a lot of things this LX can do that it really shouldn't be able to do...

Hmm…..so what’s “full potential”?

There's that video here somewhere that shows a mod'd 200 going over 200mph. I can't find the link right now, but it's on mud.

I think you're thinking of the the Land Speed Cruiser. ~230mph

My LX was surprisingly stable at 100mph - weirdly good actually. I've never done that in a big SUV and have no desire to ever go faster than that in it but it most certainly could. Just wanted to see what it would feel like.

~90mph when passing is all mine will ever see.

Edit: I had the math wrong.

Online calculators suggest ~4000 rpm for 3.90s, .881 overdrive, 285/65R17 31.6" diameter. Redline is 4600.

We should also keep in mind these engines only make 268hp, and that's probably way below 4k.

I've had my 200 up to 100 once, it was on a 1/4 mile dragstrip, so totally legal. Yes I took my Cruiser to a drag race once. It was fun but won't be doing it again.
