surely this is the fabled japanese limiter kicking in? do you have an import car, was it not SVA'd to make it UK? They normally remove the delimiter for you.

can be removed for a cost follow the ads above for a price on how much

Could also be a botched job on the de-limiter installation, although it could be something completely different, and coincidental, like fuel starvation on a low tank.

Have you tried repeating the feat, and ruled out all the other obvious causes, like running on at least a quarter of a tank of proper (Optimax + OB unless it's been remapped) fuel?
