Ado13, I'm not so sure that they are. There's a few guys on here that have said that they don't.

It's possible that the pre 88 models are speed limited.

Fady, Can I ask you afew questions?

What is you're reason for selling you're car? In some posts you say it's because you're going over seas, and in others you say you're getting an R32 GTR?

Which is the real reason?

And also I noticed that you are running standard pipes with you're front mount intercooler, What is the point of having a front mount with the standard pipes?

can i ask you why are you being a smart ass.
i was going to get a gtr. i went and looked at it. it was in bad condition. its still there geting fixed up.. ive changed my mind. i have to go overseas next month for a month then when i get back i got to get a little shit box car because im getting a job where i drive around all of victoria and im not doing that in a tx5. these are my reasons and i dont need you to try to be some detective.
Standard piping and cooler.. they were already on as i bought the car and they make a hell of a difference.. where is your tx5 anyway.

The front bar is the standard front bar on all tx5's he just cut it to amke room for the FMIC as far as I know...i looked when I went and test drove the car and its exaclty the same as the normal tx5 one just missing the entire centre bit.
