Top Speed issues..?
My 03 Maxima has 275k miles on it, runs fine just won't exceed 105 mph. I've been told countless times they go 120-145 mph. What is the problem?

I'm pretty sure they're drag limited around 143-145mph or so. My 5th gen gets to 145 before it hits the limiter, and 5.5gen body is basically the same so I think drag would be the same.
Now here is the key, IIRC only the SE models weren't limited, both the GXE & GLE were limited. Not sure if that was the same for the 5.5gen but I imagine probably so.

I'm sure you found this out ona dyno .. 
02-03 AT's were/have been said to have a soft limiter in the late 120's.
My 03 AT with TS-Fspec at the top of 3rd gear @ 7100 RPM.

Top speed Issue
I[I] believe it is more of a safety issue
Wheels and Tires
GXE: 16" 5 spoke al-alloy wheels with 215/55HR16 tires
Overall height: 56.3 Turning diameter:35.4 ft
SE: 17" 6 spoke al-alloy wheels with P225/50VR17 performance tire
Overall height: 56.7 with sport tuned suspension, higher spring rate
thicker front stabilizer bar
Turning diameter:40.0
GLE: 17" 7 spoke al-alloy wheels with P215/55HR17
Overall height: 57.1 Turning diameter:40.00
