Speed warning- seriously

[Hilux safari]

Hard to believe, but there is a warning alarm in my 77 BJ40 once it reaches around 105km/h. Yes, under perfect conditions, I do get there! Anyone know how to disconnect it?

No one else has ever driven a 40 that fast, so you may be the only one who has seen that alarm. Were you driving off a cliff?

That's 62 mph. I'm sure it's doable!

 

[brian]

that's only 65mph......they're good for 85mph all day long.

Was there a boom like the sound barrier?

Did time go backwards?

Was there a boom like the sound barrier?

or butt checks clenching the seat?

 

[greenbeast]

Sorry, couldn't resist. Where in the world does this alarm reside in the cruiser?

 

[brian]

in the lower seat cushion

Did you go back in time????

 

[greenbeast]

Probably won't happen in my BJ40 rebuild even if I find a mountain tall enough here to reach those insane speeds.

I forgot it's Thursday evening and you guys got a night out. Ok, I check back next week, when everyone sorbered up and ran out of the funny stuff.

Remember this coming up in threads ... several

Recall it was behind the speedo

Mostly a JDM market thing

In the USA our speed warning is the loud noice and vibrations

again from under the lower seat cushion.

There is only one noise coming from under the seat ... it smells as well (my truck at least lol)

Speed buzzer:

Now I am curious to what years and which cruisers had these. Gonna have to go through some of my parts off my SA 79.

 

[Poser]

they're good for 85mph all day long.

You noticed that in the propaganda from the 1960s as well...

Here is the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) located.

In some markets / models / years it is used to activate the emissions equipment.
In some other markets / models / years it is used to activate the speed buzzer.
