i hit speed limiter today

[mynismo]

coming home from a lil drive, i see this green 2000 max that comes up quickly. he starts to ride my ass a lil... i gun it and see if he's up for a run. i see him start to gun it as well, and i slow down a little because of a car in front of me. the car signals to turn right and does, and i downshift to 3rd to about 50mph, then gun it. he's gunning it too. shift to fourth, i have about 2-3 car lengths on him at about 80. im still full throttle in fourth, he's hanging with me a lil, but then the distance starts to grow between us. by about 110 i had 7-8 car lengths on him. i shift to 5th, and look down and i know im somewhere between 115 and 120. at first i thought the clutch slipped because all of a sudden it wasn't going anywhere... but then a min later i realized i had a speed limiter i think the 00 max is just about on par to the 97-98 mustang gt i raced, maybe even a tad quicker. those suckahs are quick

btw, my new exhaust system rocks. hopefully ill have some vids soon.

we sure do want vids!

[mynismo]

click my car in my sig... that'll take u to the pics

i almost hit limiter again coming home together, god this thing moves now. i raced my dude's 93 240sx about three weeks ago and i only took him by about 2-3 car lengths up to about 105, today i took him by a good 6 car lengths. ypipe rocks! my v6 is finally breathing.

i'll rig a mount for my camera in my car. mini tripod, duct tape, anything. i should have a couple vids soon.

just becareful

your limiter is only at 120mph? hahaah thats just like mine. and i hit it soo often that i don't even in a race i will hit it as often as like 4-5 times cause it has soo much more go but that stupid limiter is holding me back. anyways back to the topic. i thought the maximas were limited at 135mph until the 01 model which has 17 inch rims and those were limited at 155.

4th gen(95-99) gxe's are governed at 127 mph. 2k-2k1 are governed at 130 and the 2k2-2k3's are governe at 148mph. if you were to 1)swap out for an se/GLE ecu you'd get a 140 mph top speed or if you felt comfortable tinkering with your ecu's wiring harness you can get a higher top speed out of it: I think this "how to" is from maximadriver.com

This modification is easy. But beware, it does include mutilation of the factory ECU wiring harness...not for the squeamish.

1.Disconnect negative battery terminal.
2.remove ECU cover from passenger side footwall.
3.Loosen bolt in center of main ECU connector.
4.Unplug main ECU connector.
5.Remove snap-on plastic cover from ECU connector.
6.Locate PINK wire with BLUE stripe. (this wire is located on the right half of the connector when plugged in)
7.Cut PINK/BLUE wire.
8.Reassemble ECU connection.
9.Reconnect negative battery terminal.
10.Drive 140+ mph.

This modification will cause the "check engine" light to illuminate. If you check the codes, you will get 0104 (Vehicle speed sensor fault) and 0504 (A/T control unit fault). So far there have been no drivability problems
associated with this mod.

Enjoy.

ok so it is 127.. hmmm... maybe my clutch did slip then lol

i know about the cut wire in ecu mod, but i didn't want my check engine light to come on. i may try to rig something up with a switch so i can connect and disconnect.

but i don't see my self going 130mph+ that often tops for me is usually around 110 (until i get a 12-13 sec car )

when i had my 95 SE I raced my buddy in his 01 Acura CL-S and we shut down at 136 mph. that was the highest i ever went and it was only that one time. I'd have stopped sooner but i had started to gain on him and i got excited that i may beat a $32,000 acura in my 8 yr old max. I didn't though

not to go off topic but about you sig; does everyone and their mother ask if you drive a black maxima? and then look at you like you have 2 heads when you say "no, it's green". that plagued me for the whole 2-1/2 years i had my car, but that's the best color to get for that Gen max.

[codebrn]

cool shit man. Nissans are great...but i think it's time for you to upgrade your ECU

what's even funnier is that my max isn't green, it's blue






i get everything from black, to blue, to green, to purple. to me (and the pics i shot) it is mainly dk blue and color-shifts between purple in the day and black at night.


AWESOME!!! I LOVE MY CAR COLOR. it's pimp.

[topgear00]

the pic in the sig looks like color shift. its kinda cool.

[mynismo]

yea its all stock paint too. can't remember if it's sapphire blue or neptune blue.

i got a sound clip for ya guys with the new exhaust. sorry the quality is poor but best i can do at the moment
