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

I have a 1994 GT (3S-GE) "2000TwinCam"
It was imported here to Ireland from Japan, it uses KMPH readings on the speedo.
It was limited to 180KMph, the speedo only went up this far and the car would lose power once this speed was reached (Damn limiter!)

I purchaced a cable converter which converts the speedo to MPH.
This was just a small box which was spliced into the speedo cable.

Now when the speedo shows for example 60KMph the car is actually travelling at 60MPH.
No need to replace the dials or anything like that,
I just put a MPH sticker over the KMph one and everything works perfectly.

It also got rid of that 180KMph (112MPH) limit
I have had the car to 140MPh so far and all I did was put on this cable converter.
