i just red in car and driver the new I35 sport and 3.5l se altima have a limiter at 127!!!!!! whats up with that?bad enough my 01 auto only does 131.........both 3.5 cars automatic...

 

on my 00'auto max I have gone past 138 and could keep going but I ran out of road. what is te top recorded speed in a 00-01 auto max?

 

16 inch tires 131 limiter......

 

They would not have been able to hang with the Pike crowd tonight.

 

That blows...

 

YEah alot of these limiters are done because of the tires.

 

But it doesn't say the Maxima does though; excellent!

 

what kind of tires does the altima come with?

 

all max's and I35's come with 17inch. v rated tires.......and se altima's also

 

If you have the 17" VR tire setup the top speed is 143mph...I had it tapped out on the way to Las Vegas one night...

The altima comes with a 17" wheel but with 215/55 or 215/60 i don't remember well...can that be a possiblilty...

 

i'm talking about 2k2 max. se and gle with 17inch. also altima and I35 sport.......all only do 127mph with automatic

 

I just read that too. How disappointing.

My friend just bought the Alty 5 speed. He keeps talking smack that he's gonna whoop my a$$. Muuawwahha...I can't wait till we race and hit that speed. 143 vs 127? No contest. For his sake I hope there's a way to fix that. 240 horses to only be able to hit 127?

 

Altima 3.5 SE automatic- all season Bridgestone Turanza's EL42 215/55HR17. Electronically governed to 124mph, according the Car and Driver.

Altima 3.5 SE 5speed- all season Bridgestone Turanza's EL42 215/55VR17. This one will only be tired limited or electronically governed at 149mph.

I35/Maxima GLE- all season Bridgestone Turanza's EL42 215/55HR17. Although the I35 has .5" bigger rim width. Both SHOULD be goverened at 127mph.

I35 sport/Maxima SE- Bridgestone Potenza RE90 225/50VR17. Automatic's are electronically governed at 127mph. The 6speed will only be tired limited to 149mph or electronically governed at 149mph.

<Hypnotize> Get the Manual transmission if you like top speed. They are more fun to drive /<Hypnotize>

 

Oh well, guess not. Need more modz!

 

i may sound really nieve by asking this but there isnt any way you can reprogram something or make some kind of adjustment to alter the top speeds?

 

an aftermarket ECU or piggy back chip will most likely allow you to bypass the speed governor and/or rev limiter.

 

It voids the warrenty though but may add hp
