[240_2NR]

hey ive been checking out the forums and for a while and just regestered, ive looked around but no one seems to have an answer i wanted to know how fast im doin over 115mph because my speedometer doesnt have any more numbers I know every 240 is like this i have a 93 h/b 5spd and ive owned 2 others, im not new to the 240 and have asked many people over the past year an a 1/2 if any one knows please tell me what i can do to see over 115mphIs there a place i can go to get it done have not been able to find onei am a tech so some work i might be willing to do by myself if it isnt to much of a painThank u for ur help, or at least trying

Just so you know, not all 240s have a max of 115mph on the speedo.. the S14s have a max of 120mph. Anyway, if you want to see your car go over 115mph what you can do is get a 180mph speedometer from lsauto.com. They go for about $175.

BTW, my engine starts to shake everytime I hit 115mph. I think it's due to the speed governor. You might want to look into that if you can't get past the 115mph mark.

[TurboKA37]

all depends on how much power ur putting down. other than that see what rpm u are at when u top out. if 60mph is 3000rpm in 5th gear then obviously 6k rpm is 120mph. these arent real numbers just examples. and not too many people know how fast they go stock cause the manual transmitions are limited at 118.

Thanx Stillmatic and Turboka37

[TurboKA37]

your engine starts to shake at 115 mph?? my gov. just cuts the fuel till the speed drops down a few mph and the engine pulls hard all the way to till the governor kicks in. but i also have a S14 so you never kno

[yeswepromise]

if my horrible memory serves me correctly, the automatic ECU does not have a governor in it. i have made it to 120 in my s14 but ddint go any further due to traffic and crap tires.

[DarkStar]

I haven't "topped out" yet. Getting some new parts soon so we'll see what happens then.

[nlzmo400r]

i had an 89 24o 5spd and she topped out at 115ish (big fuel cut sent me back down to about 112mph before i could accelerate again) and the govenor in my o2 altima (auto) is about 122mph or so

[Tai Mai Shu]

I cut my speed sensor wire so I can go up to and burry my Speedo, another option is to lookat buying a GPS! hahaha

[Sliding_S14]

same here TURBOKA37, hit 118 and and its like someones hitten the brake, kind of like drivers training all over again... (hate that damn brake peddle on the passanger side)

[Lsnaple]

all of your's stop at around 115-120? when i had my 92 5spd i had the speedo buried in the odometer, almost pointing straight down at about 5500-6000 rpm's, not quite sure, was a long time ago.then my fuel cut off, and no hard shaking.

havent taken the 7 much past 100 yet...

[240Kuminachu]

ok ok, I had a 90 coupe auto, you guys arnt gona believe this but I hit 137 in it. Down hill of course and with studded tires. I was surprised at how smooth the car was, almost creepy.

Speedo was accurate.. blah blah

[NeverEnuff]

so the govenor kicks in at 115-120? wen i hit limiter in my car its still pulling hard id bet a 240 could red line in 5th well at lest i think mine could

[Nismo_yo]

Yeah i hit 115 then cut me off, i got to 120(im estimating) going down a slight hill. Sucks not being able to go any higher then 115 when everyone else your with you can hit like 130-140.

Mine is a 91 se auto and has the hud and it goes all the way to 125 and stays that way. revs stay @ 5k and dont go back and forth but 125 im cool w/and i dont need to go faster than that but i heard from many people their 5 spd gov. kicks in around 115-120 which sux, but i am just mad cuz mine is a auto.

[SR20DET.Bavaria]

Hi,my car goes 155 mph, no lie!

[r34 gtr]

thats one nice 240 kelvin.

- tim

[r34 gtr]

err, 200sx (forgot the europe thing for a second)

[SR20DET.Bavaria]

Yes, in Europe they are called 200SX

The good thing here in Germany is the Highways ( Autobahn ).You can speed leagally and thats great!!

[[Zero-S]]

I wish it was like that over here...:rolleyes

I've hit what...118 on my 240SX (damn fuel cut...) The limiters gonna be gone soon anyways...

[SR20DET.Bavaria]

I hope it will never change!

well I haven't done anything to the car yet but we have guys in the German S14 Board goin' 175 mph.I just bought my car 3 mounths ago and there is still a lot of parts I want to get...

[Zero-S], do you know any good stores in Virgina where I can buy parts for my car?My Dad's family is in Richmond and I'll visit him during Christmas Time!

[Structure240sx]

i took my auto s14 past 120 before. prolly like 121-122 no fuel cut and still some rooom to go i think i was at like 5500rpm didnt really want to look down

[matt4pl]

hey, i cut the sped sensor wire in my S14 5spd, so i went past 120, i give it about 127-130, easily, but then the 5000 rpm fuel cut kicked in and coudnt go any faster, i've read somewhere the estimated redline speed in the 240sx is like 135mph or something, not totally sure where, and ive read on the boards in other top speed threads that with a proper wheel and tire combo 140 is easily attainable, except for that rpm governor, that needs to go

[Hellion240sx]

at 3100 rpm's im going 70 mph exhaust only (for now) is that good, bad, or average???thanks guys

[aznromeox]

On the autobahn most of the city and busy areas are governed by speed. Once you reach the country area there is no limit to your speed. Most People drive around 100mph. Over there you can be cited for slowing down traffic even if its 90mph.

SR20DET.Bavaria, You have the z-edition of the 200sx. Could you give me some more details. I know the small stuff, the cd-player, oz rims. Could you give me some specifics on the car.

[Tai Mai Shu]

Have more or less HP will NOT AFFECT how fast, you are going at whatever RPM, only how fast you get there....Gear Ratio affects what speed at what RPM.... If you need help will this well, I dont know then. Incase you cant answer your question it is the same RPM's at 70mph as anyone else!

Also, Scott from Secret Services makes regular apperances at 180 mph, he ended up toping out at 196 mph, GPS's and Mile marked...

[TurboKA37]

yea HP wont effect the rpm @ speed. i was trying to calculate (roughly) what the speed would be at redline in 5th awhile back and i think it came out to about 140-150 for my KA

[Nismo_Freak]

I've buried my speedo on the way to Houston, it's ironic cause the car just sucks down lower (suspension get's rougher as a result) after about 120mph. I've prolly had it close to 140 mph since I was doing about 6700 rpm

Granted it took me a while to get there... and the car just wouldn't go any faster.

[Rockenreno]

at 3100 rpm's im going 70 mph exhaust only (for now) is that good, bad, or average???thanks guys

that's average. I hit 70-75 in that range (my speedo is off by 2 mph and tach is off by about 100 RPMs, so its somewhere in that range).

As for fuel cut, mine kicks in at 118 as well
