I just read that theres a 180KMH (112)MPH speed limiter on J-Spec engines? Can anybody confirm or deny this?

[QUOTE]From what I've heard there is a 'gentlemens agreement' among japanese car manufacturers (and maybe the government) that they will not produce cars that can exceed 180km/h or are more powerful than around 204Kw.

This is why most japanese car speedos only go to 180Km/h, and the JDM versions of cars are rated at lower HP than say USDM or NZDM cars.

I don't know about Toyota's, but I have a number of friends with JDM Honda engines and they have no problem breaking 180km. Also the JDM Versions are rated with a higher horse power.
