I have a 1995 MAX and i was on the Highway i decide to accelrate and see how fast i can go and the car tops out at approximently 118mph why???

 

some 4th gens are limited, some are not...you can determine if yours is by reading the sticky. its somewhere in there.
i'll go out on a limb and say it just doesnt have enough to go any faster the way your car is set-up right now (stock)...

 

They did not want the car to exceed the speed rating of the tires that it was given. Limiters were around 118mph IIRC for the 4th gens that had them, so unless you're auto and have a bad knock sensor your car is electronically limited.

I have been to 140 multiple times with a stock 5 speed, and it is pretty easy to cruise at 120 or so, the car still has plenty left in it.

 

i have a 5 speed

 

wheres the sticky for that??

 

nevermind my statement if you have a 5 speed....

 

. . .

 

You are cool.

 

That’s why SE’s came w/ H rated tires, and GXE’s came w/ s rated tires.
4AT + dead KS still = 130+ for me, (non GPS verified)

 

so how can i fix this serious problem i used to have my altimas needle pinned past 120 and i try to upgrade and ???

 

Because it's against the law in the USA.

 

get the f outta here bro a stock 4th gen will not get over 120 unless you have a mile or so....downhill...what do you expect????

 

and i've driven an 02 altima 2.5sl...the piece will not get over 110....spare yourself the aggravation...

 

been over 140 .....

 

Lmao, i been at 140 on my stock maxima... where not talking about 4cyl stock hondas...its a v6 pulling almost 200hp on a car that isn't that heavy. It can go past 120 easily because i do it about once a week while on the highway.

 

Don’t you ever tell me what to do, I will you all day & night.

Oh yeah, BTW, I’m not your ‘brother’.

 

same here in my 97 auto SE

 

Get the ECU for an non-speed limited SE. That is what I had to do with a 1990 Accord LX I used to have. Header, CAI, exhaust and pulleys and it would pull right up to the 115 mph limiter and even with the engine bucking against the limiter, it would hit 118. Got an ECU from someone in Canada off an Accord EX and swapped it in and was able to pull 128-130.

 

so get a cpu from a se it should plug right in right??? no splicing ?

 

You realize that H is between U and V, right? Unless you were actually trying to affirm my post...

I think you missed the main point of that statement...

You are so clueless it's funny.

 

Plus the Cd is what, like .31? They are surprisingly slippery.

 

Didn't the GXEs have a limiter at 118?

 

Every maxima is limited some how.

 

i have a gxe and yes its around 118-120... DId the speed limiter removal thing worked fine... Wired a swtich to it also to turn it off.. Works great

 

If it is the same as a Honda, yes. I just unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one.

 

I'm in a 95 gxe...with a few basic bolt ons and the SAFC 2 and I've hit the 140mph mark a few times and mine is an automatic

 

my 95 se 5spd and 96 gxe auto are both able to do 140....havent even tuned em yet. just got my safc2 so.. but my 98 gxe auto dies at 118mph...

 

I believe the GXE models are limited. The Se and GLE can go to 140 though even if it is auto.(Don't quote me, but I think i read that in the sticky.)

However, people who want to "top out" on the highways need a limiter at 75 mph IMO.

 

Agreed.

 

Lol, you're an idiot and have no idea what you're talking about.

 

IBTL........

 

Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese!

 

i cut that wire wireless and i hit 130 then i had to slow down but it works thank you

 

IBTL also

But 148 and ran out of room. I hear for my 5.5 gen that the limiter is @155 but I'm not sure. Don't know about 4th gens but had a 93ser to 150

 

It is clearly stated in the stickies.....SE's are the only 4th gen that are not speed limited. The GXE/GLE are both limited at 115 mph, regardless of what the speedometer says. Either cut the wire and get a code, or buy an ECU.

Enough spoon feeding for one day....

 

Se's have no limiter, gle's as well.

 

That isn't true. GLEs don't have limiters. Spoon feed yourself.

 

 

I said that both the Se's and GLE's didn't have speed limiters earlier in the thread. It just goes to show that sometimes it does pay to read replys before replying yourself.

 

damn your HELLA COOL!
