95 MPH Governor is bologna

Per another site, this governor is **NOT** necessary! It's a bunch of big brother bologna! The tires are rated for well over 100!

I know driving over 95 feels obnoxious, but when you are on a flat road from Phoenix to LA, and you hit 95, it feels like you blew an axle! The damn thing reels back like a bucking bronco! It's annoying! My 99 Frontier never did this! Now my 03 does.

I think Nissan should STOP this practice, or at least allow us to disable it, like the passenger airbag, via sticking the key in a hole on the dash!

Does anybody know what happens at 95 to make this annoying and frightening bolting action? SHAME ON NISSAN!

Re: Why the governor on the engine?

this is gman10:

Just reading questions and lo and behold! A governor. So that's probably what happened the other day. Driving in Texas, nothing around, doing around 85 and the engine just kind of dies till speed goes down and then it's fine. I'll be darned. Governor!!!

Thanks,
gman10

I have a 2002 XE-V6 manual transmission Frontier which governors out at about 108. I definately want to eliminate this if at all possible. I have new Bridgestone Dueler Revo Uni-T speed rated tires on my truck and have no plans on flipping it even if I could hit 130 .
Where can I go and have them reprogram my governor and/or chip?
I'd appreciate a concrete answer from anyone.
thanks

Re: Why the governor on the engine?

Check the site below. Jet Chips makes a new computer for almost any car. If you buy the Computer Upgrade Package, not only will it remove the govenor but will also increase engine performance as well.
