90mph is my top speed... I really wanted to keep the maintenance fee down....

Back then when I had my Sentra, I went from LA to Las Vegas in 2 and a half hour. 120, 130mph on the 15fwy was pure fun and joy.

in an st it hella sucks because when like your reaching at like 85- 90 your revving so high but its alright because i rarely go that fast 60 too like 70 is fast enough for me.

I have gone 135 in the 94 ST on the turnpike laugh.gif

Mine is governer'd at 115...any way i can change that and still pass inspection?

speed limiter is sooo gay
i have one at 115 too, and it's like hitting a wall, the car is still pullin hard when i hit it.

Speedo don't work, but I've hit 6000 RPM's in 5th gear on a 3rd gen 3S-GE tranny with 205/50/15 tires.

Edit: Disregard my statement since it wasn't done on a 6GC.

I was under the impression that ST's (96+ anyway) are limited to 111mph

I've pushed mine to about 125 on a downgrade but only gotten it to about 115 on level road... that was with the auto tranny and 97 ECU. Since the swap I havn't really tried, but I do notice that when it gets to about 90mph it doesn't lag like the auto did.

I hit 122 on stock

hit 127 one time


how do u know its 122 and not 123 or 127 and not 128 tongue.gif
at speeds more than 160kph /100mph its hard to keep constant attention to the the speedo to see the excact speed and more to that to slow down means u see something on the road (cop, radar, other car, tree crossing the road) so looking at the peak of the speedo is the last thing to pass ur mind


I have fantastic peripherial vision so I can look at the speedo and pay attention to the road ahead depending on the situation, and it was 4am on a deserted strip of highway and this highway is consitently dead between 2am-5am.

a friend of mine used to have an eclipse GST, apparently he got some JDM engine for it (engine was blown when he bought the car) and slapped a gigantic stage 3 turbo on it... supposedly he topped it out at 110 mph.... in 3rd gear biggrin.gif

fastest I've taken the celi is about 105... so I never got close to the top speed so I don't know what it is

I dunno, that's just what I was told it was... but I saw a pic of it, he had the stock turbo in one hand and the new turbo in the other... yeah, the new turbo was about double the size! wink.gif
