Ok,
I see alot of different top speeds.
What is the top speed of a SE Auto.
Does it have a limiter?
What is the main difference in suspension between the SE and the GXE,GLX Struts, stabalizer bars?
With a y pipe, rt cat, and K N.
What have you guys personally got for top speed?
Thanks,
Fast Walker

This has been discussed many times and the answers cover a wide range. Some people have said 150 + and some have said 117. I say mine can do Mach I and how will anyone know unless they take it out on an open and non-cop patrolled hiway and open 'er up. I did 122 before running out of real estate and the car was smooth as can be and revving @ only 4200 rpm. Plenty of room left up top, the only question is what the limiter is set at. Get yourself a pair of gonads and check it out

I have an auto GXE and I'll be cruising back to NC tomorrow night sometime after 11. I'll take my digital camera and see if I can get a decent shot. From past experience it'll limit itself at about 133. I've heard the GXE's limit a lot slower than that, but I'm pretty sure it's around there, at least on mine. Don't know why, but I'll get a picture of it if I can (the road will be my first priority at that point...)

We are drag limitted to about 140 anyways. So to go any faster you one would need a blower and possibly some ECU work. (Manuals don't seem to be limitted, at least SE and GXE with C&C)

Do you have a sunroof deflector and a spoiler on the trunk? Those'll probably take a few mph off top speed...

Evidently you people have never noticed that our auto's are 4spd's. Now if you look at the top speeds for each gear for a manual/5spd Maxima the 4th gear is 130mph. So this explains why most of us can only reach this speed and not the brochures 143mph. Which if you read the fine print at the bottom of the brochure it says that is for a 5spd. So if our car was a 5spd auto instead of a 4spd auto we could reach the 143mph.

Not that I would ever go that fast.

I actually still had both hands on the wheel and took like 5 or 6 shots with the camera pointed in what I thought was the right direction. That was the one that came out. I just wanted to clear up the idea that GXE's limit at only 118 or 122 or whatever people have been saying. Not that I need to go faster than that anyways, all I care about is how long it takes me to get there.

I've got the Nissan propagan... sales brochures for both 2000 and 2001. The best rubber from the factory for a GXE (and a GLE) is H-rated. That means top speed of the car should be 125. I really doubt Nissan's Lawyers would let that one go by.
(On the other hand, if you read your owner's manual, they say never to exceed 85mph. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Whew. That was a good one.)
Maybe your mods confuse the computer in some way. Maybe you had a good tail wind.
(Did your dealer replace your firmware due to a TSB? Maybe you got a generic version that removed your governor.)
The top speed of the SE's and SEAE's *will* be 149, but it may be drag limited to 143. (SEAE's came with V-rated rubber by default, and the SE's V-rated rubber only came with a factory package that probably needed a firmware upgrade anyway.)

Ratings
Q=98mph
S=108mph
T=118mph (I've taken a car with these tires up to 125mph before without a problem)
H=130mph
V=149mph
Z=149+ Z rated tires are also used with W and Y ratings
Example- 235/45ZR17 W94 ect...
W=168mph
Y=186mph

All I have is an OSCAI and I highly doubt it changed anything in the electronics of the car, at least in that way.
No, all I've had done is the tranny TSB (still very unsuccessful) and they only replaced the TCM and solenoids. The governor on my car is very clearly there. The top speed is limited by the car's computers, not by anything I have on/inside it. I don't really plan on doing anything about the governor cause like I said, I don't feel the need to 133 that often, let alone faster.

All Auto SE's and GXE's and GLE's are limited to 132mph. They will not go faster than that period. Unless somehow you got a 5spd computer in there.
