Ok ok ok. for all you speed freaks out there that like to go faster than 120 mph, heres your solution. http://cgi.ebay.com/Apexi-RSM-Rev-Speed-Meter-for-Turbo-NA-Nissan-Subaru_W0QQitemZ4586873085QQcategoryZ102557QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It works for any car and it overides our speed governors. Have fun at the track

is it the same speed limiter on all models?

i havnt taken my 6 over 90

but i know on the 94 and 95 TA if you had the 8cyl, z rated tires from the factory, the obd1 computer and the obd2 connector: they skipped the speed limiter, all other 8 cyl from 93-02 with z rated tires got 164 mph speed limiters, and if you didnt have z rated tires they gave you a 118mph speed limiter.

just something to think about with so many different models of the same car floating around it could be different

i dont know how you or why you would want to do that unless you bought car strictly to race and dont need the warranty. I have on 06 3i, bought in september and taken to 100mph so far, had a 1990 chevy beretta and taken to 120 a couple of times, that is fun, but a little scary.

Hey,
I would like to know the same thing, but I don't know if mine has a governer. I don't want to find out the hard way and also I herd that my tires are only rated for 148 mph so they could blow if I got past that for too long. Even thought I have had my 2004 6s with 18,000 miles up to 150 mph for about 5 mins and it never shut down on me. That was one Hell of a rush I was racing a G6 on the interstate at like 4am. But lately the only racing I have done is my friends 2006 Acura RSX and I got him once but he won the other 2 times those things are quick as hell. I would like to see RSX, a 350 Z race because I have driven both of them, and they are both very fast. Has anyone tried the Nissan/ Subaru chip upgrade for the 6 yet?

The Mazda6 cuts out at 124 mph.

If you went 150, someone already deactivated the governor.

I wouldn't do that speed on the stock Michelins however...You are correct that the governor is there for a reason. Get some z-rated tires.

computer chips are the solution for the speed governor... in I think most cars have them... thats a shame 'cause I think the car could give a lot more! just tryin' out the car i rushed up to 135 milles... I dont know if that implies that my car no longer had the governor It just came yesterday jaja... in my Volvo S60T5 i managed up to 145 milles in my way to school!!! pretty excitin' but a lil risky hehehe...
