Have you guys ever heard of an altima with a 170kmh limiter? Cause my friend has one and he can't go over 170kmh, what's up with that? I thought most Altima didn't have a limiter, and those who did were set at 120 or so mph

Thats right..imported Bluebird KA and SR20's have a 180kmh speed limiter.. I use not be able to run over 180kmh..Its gradually slows your down from 170 until you hit the limit...then your engine just shuts off and when you drop less that 170 ur engine kicks in again

Is that a Candadian feature or something???? :confused:

I've pushed mine past the 120 MPH on the gauge several times over the years with no problems or cutoff.

The post from 95_XE shows his location as Quebec (as in Canada??????? Dumbass). Get your facts straight before you try to flame on somebody you childish moron!! :flipbird:

I have no idea where Bench213 got his car, that's why I asked. As far as I know, it could be a New Jersey model! WTF????? Go get some!

yes u are "knocking Canada"! Why would we have a limiter. Blue Birds r from Japan and Australia, u get ur facts straight first. Especially if HIS goes past 170km/h.

Hey guys....let's stay at the question at hand....no need to be getting anal or anything.
Some come with limiters and some don't. If your's does...than I'm sorry...if not....more power to ya...
Let's not try to get all bent out of shape here.
We are here to help eachother out...not jump down eachothers throats.

your engine shuts off?! while doing 170?!...um, I seriously doubt that...can you imagine doing that fast and then your engine shutting down and then restarting at a somewhat slower speed...I shudder to think of the internals and what they'd go through! :eek: :eek: :eek:

the limiter simply kicks in and uses methods (varies with manufacturer) to either reduce the fuel flow/pressure, retard the timing, or govern the air intake volume, thereby reducing RPM and vehicle speed.

how fast is 170kmh? :confused: somebody translate that to mph.
1 mph = 1.62 kph


170kph = 105mph

170KPH doesn't sound that fast anymore.
