Re: removing top speed limiter

If that speed limiter(governor) is removed or disabled, any warranty will be null & void!! If you damage or blow that motor, Nissan won't fix it!

Ford put governors on their Mach 1s back in the early 70s(Still do) and people were blowing the engines, taking the cars back expecting Ford to fix them and Ford said no way cause the governors were removed!!

Re: removing top speed limiter

Don't do it man, the Titan feels real light at 114. I would NOT want to go faster than that. You need some aerodynamic downforce to go faster than the limiter.

Re: removing top speed limiter

I agree with Brons. These trucks have too much air up under them at 110+. Mine feels like it is floating. There is no doubt the Titan can go faster, just not safely. That is why the Lightning is so close to the ground and the bottom air dam is really close to the ground. Less air under the truck and more downforce lets the truck stick to the road at 100+ MAybe Nissan will produce a Nismo Titan which is lowered and has more air dam on the front then get ready 140 + Your everyday Titan is a truck, not a race car so stay at 112-114

Re: removing top speed limiter

That is odd, I have had mine at 125. I will agree though that it starts to feel real light after 100. My GPS also recorded the speed for me, for a while I was showing the guys at the department, everyone was surprised that the rice burner (as they call it) could run that fast.

Re: removing top speed limiter

Cars and Trucks can fly with almost no warning at the slightest wrong twitch of the drivers hand (watch NASCAR). Also consider our tires are not usually rated for above 110. Let one tire blow out at 125 and see what happens.............

I'll stick with the thrill of torque, power and acceleration, but not top speed. Family still likes to see me.....

Re: removing top speed limiter

I'm noticing the same thing. It's just the new members going through the threads and posting in what they deem appropriate. We who have been on here for some time know what we've already seen and don't care to revisit it, but to the new guys, it's ALL new. We just need to be patient and let them catch up. There'll always be new members looking at old threads. Just use your own judgement regarding to which ones you respond. We all have different tastes, but I for one enjoy going through some that have bits of wisdom from Mr. B or some of the more twistedly eloquent among us.

What did they use for a limiter?

I don't believe that the Consult II can undo the speed limiter, other then MAYBE only when it's hooked up to the truck for diagnostics...
Everyone is right about the truck getting light in the front end, the tires being max out for speed rating........

But man I've had mine to about 105 mph and it's still pulling strong, part of me's dying to find out what she'll really run if allowed to!!

It's the dying we're trying to avoid.

Maybe one of us can sneek into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series someday with a S/C and Tuner and big tires and then we'll know! If Toyota can do it, Nissan can do it better.
