Conclusion... Does Max have speed limiter
Guys,
To conclude if there is indeed a speed limiter in a max, I emailed nissan NA and this is their reply.
Thank you for contacting Nissan North America, Inc. and allowing us the
opportunity to be of assistance.
Our vehicles do not have a "speed limiter," per se. What our vehicles have
is a "rev limiter" which will not allow the engine to rev over a certain
number of RPMs.
Thank you for allowing us to review this with you. If you have any questions
or comments, feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Jon

Do you think it is BS? personally I do not know since I only managed to go 120 mph before I feel uncomfortable cos I am having 15" wheel with my GXE

Anyway, slightly OT, but how long did it take them to get back to you?
I emailed them a week and a half ago and still do not have a response.
Thanks.

Re: Conclusion... Does Max have speed limiter
Well, I've hit the REV limiter plenty of times. But, I never hit the SPEED limiter...and I've been up to 151MPH. It takes a LONG time to get there, and then you run out of road. I wish I could just run mine totally open on an oval track and see what it really does/doesn't do and when.

It also has a rev limiter. 6.5K rpm? Something like that.

Sprint did have a limiter, he has that ghetto setup that cuts the speedo out of the loop and allows you to go faster. My car, on the other hand does not have a speed limiter. I've gotten to ~144. '95 GLE.

Because, I have been over 133MPH several times.
With larger rims, you would be traveling even faster
than that. So...

i know mine has a speed limiter. i hit around 120-122 and it shifts into o/d gear then no matter how hard i press on the accelerator, it just coasts at the same speed until i let off. i've heard from several people that the ?automatic? gxe's have limiters due to them coming from the factory with lower rated tires. i know several se's of the same year, even tho they're manual, have hit 140+. governor's suck... but, if u must go fast, there is a tech article somewhere on removing it. have nissan explain that....

Apprarently, selective GXEs and 'a few' GLEs were apprarently limited. The only way to make sure is to try it out. Deezo has a stock GXE and has no limiter, I have a GLE and have no limiter. The SE's seem not to have any limiters.
