i AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON WHAT TODO ABOUT MY 3000 GT 1996 VR4 WHO TOPPED OUT AT 142 MILES PER HOUR, IT SEEMS TO BE LISTED AT TOP SPEED AT 160-165 MILES PER HOUR. SO FAR IHAVE GOTTEN SOME CONFLICTING INFORMATION, ONE SOURCE RECOMMENDED REPROGRAMMING THE EPROM.MITSUBISHI TOLD ME THE CHIP HAS TO BE RESTRICTED BY LAW BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL TIRES CAN NOT EXCEED THAT SPEED FOR SAFETY REASONS. I KNOW THEREIS A COMPANY CALLED TMO.COM WHO REPROGRAMS EPROMS FOR ECLIPSES WITH UP TO 4 INTERESTING STAGES TO CHOOSE FROM AND THIS MAKES SOMEWHAT SENSE EXCEPT WHY IS THIS CAR LISTED AT TOP SPEED 165 MI/HR IF IT ONLY GOES 142 MI/HR. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SENSIBLE INFO, DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A COMPANY THAT REPROGRAMS THESE CHIPS. A NISSAN MECHANIC TOLDME TO CUT THE WIRETO THE FUEL REGULATOR AS IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THE CAR WAS GETTING DEPRIVED OF FUEL ATTHE 142 MI / HR SPEED. LOVE TO HEAR ANY INFO ANYONE CAN GIVE ME.

Easy on the capslock there big guy.

Try your question out on www.3si.org in the technical area (dont use caps - its the message world equivelent of yelling). You'll get yourself some usefull information. Sorry, I dont have an answer for you myself right now.

As far as shops for these cars. Here are a couple popular ones for VR4 owners.
