I am not exactly sure but when I told a dealer at a car lot that I did 140mph in my Max he told me that they are supposed to have a governor on them. It may be just in the GXE model.

I have '97 GXE and it has governor chip in it. Top that i was doing in it was around 125-128 mph, and then it felt like my max was in newutral, slowing down to 100mph. After it slowed down I got my gas pedal up and working again

i have a 95 se 5 spd and i've had it up to 135 before with no loss of power. i just kinda chickened out. i was racing my friends 3.2 cl type s.
i think it's the ecu. if you get an aftermarket chip you won't have to worry about it topping out so low. |

gxe is base model. no stock fog lights, no leather seats, no bose 6 speaker stereo, no spoiler,no power seats, no white guages,no automatic, digital climate control.Gle is highest model, usually has leather seats and wood grain and all the other stuff i mentioned. My se has all factory options of a gle. The only reason i didn't get a Gle is because they won't come 5-speed. it cost an extra $3600 and i didn't even get the cold weather package. but all that stuffs worth it

jim wolfe technology makes a chip and so does under pressure racing development. i think that would change where the engine is governed.

Here is the info you need to see what trim level you have and a statement about speed limiter.................
Only some 4th gen GXEs are limited. If you have an SE or GLE, you have no limiter. The only way to tell if you have one is to hit the road and see how fast you can go. If you have a limiter, your fuel will be cut off and the engine will drop to idle speed at about 115mph. The 4th gen Maxima was offered in three trim levels for the US market: GXE "The essential Maxima" SE "The Sportiest Maxima" GLE "The luxurious Maxima" All trim levels have the same engine, so performance differences between them are pretty much nil. The best way to tell which trim level you have is to decode the VIN Plate. This is due to much part swapping and trim upgrading, even transmission swaps that can be done. TO DECODE THE VIN PLATE: Raise your hood. Look for a shiny metal identification tag fastened to the passenger side of firewall. The top row is the Vehicle Identification Number, starting with J. The second row is model information. The first five characters are BLHUL. The sixth character is the trim level designator, defined as follows: E = GXE G = GLE V = SE There are some feature differences that can help you determine the trim level on site. Keep in mind that most of these can be changed aftermarket by the owner, but as we know the VAST majority of Maximas on the street are bone stock... GXE Black guage faces Cloth seats Basic stereo (BOSE optional but extremely rare) Probably no sunroof (optional but very rare) Chrome outer windwow trim and door handles 5spd or Auto trans No spoiler No fog lights Steel wheels with hubcaps Chrome grill on 97-99 models Manual A/C SE White guage faces "Sport" Cloth or leather seats Basic or BOSE stereo May have sunroof Body color outer window trim and door handles 5spd or auto trans Spoiler Fog lights 15" blade-style (95-96) or 16" 5 spoke (97-99) alloy wheels Body color grill on 97-99 models Manual A/C or climate control GLE Black guage faces Leather seats BOSE stereo Sunroof Chrome outer window trim and door handles Auto trans only No spoiler No fog lights 15" honeycomb (95-96) or 15" blade-style (97-99) alloy wheels Chrome grill on 97-99 models Fake wood color dash and door trim Fuzzy A-pillars on some years Pop-out drawer (not flip-down) below radio on some years Climate control only |
