I have a 92' coupe w/ HUD, and i was wondering if any of you knew when the speedometer topped out. The reason i ask is i was doing a 120 (i know its not safe, but it was on a highway) the other day and i was trying to see when it would top off, but it got kinda sketchy around 120 MPH so i decided to slow down. Didnt feel like crashing or getting arrested/a big ticket.

Is it 199? I heard that somewhere, but there was no proof to back it up.

haha. good point. the highest I've got mine was 116, because I heard it cuts off at 118, and i REALLY don't want to have it cut off.

My '89 240sx reached 112mph and then cutoff, then an MP(Military Police) comes out of no where and pulls me over and gives me a ticket.

When I bought my 240sx 2 years ago, the HUD didn't work, and it cost me $500 to get it fixed and it has been working ever since.

I swapped the HUD out of a 89 coupe into my 89 Fastback. To anyone who wants to do this just get the whole damn dash and save yourself a full days work of cutting a hole in the dash

MP??? Oh man, they are the last people you would expect them to pull you over. They are ruthless. Trust me, I know. NOt that I got pulled over by one of them, just that I work for the military and speeding is NOT allowed!

my 91 goes to 125 and stays at 5k rpm. I thought it would kick in soon but it didnt. Im happy w/ 125 so i dont need to clip the gov. but i dont need to go past 100 anyways

Can you get the VIN tag put on the new dash (remember, the vin is riveted on to the old one...)

Power Convinence Package??? Can anyone tell me more? So if a car comes with power windows, locks, etc. would that have it too? Is there a way to tell like, if it has a sunroof it has it etc. Any help?
