my 97 240sx speedometer reads 120 (which all years do i believe) and i have no gov.  when going down the interstate i slowly passed 120 up... then my needle hit the clock button and never cut out...  has anyone ever been clocked passed 120 (IN A 240, not your friend's, mom's, cousin's, little brother's saleen)?  Heh...

120mph, then the speed gov kicked in, in my 95 s14. &nbsp;It's so easy to get there. &nbsp;I can't wait till I upgrade the ecu, and get a new speedometer.

Hi people, new here,
do you lot all have imports or is it the law to restrict the cars like in Japan, seems like non of you guys go over 120mph, I've been 150 and it was scary, and it was still pushing hard, I've heard of people going to the trip meter

I've gone 112, then the there's a fuel cut-off, my speedo only goes to 115. I hope to change that with a JWT ECU and a new speedo. =)

I've gone around 112mph. The car starts to feel a bit unstable at that speed though... &nbsp;And the car was barely accelerating after that. This was at 6000+ ft altitude by the way.

I went 110mph or 190km/h when the governer kicked in. &nbsp;I was only at 5500rpm's with lots of legs left. &nbsp;That's the great benefit of the ecu upgrade.

did you have a custom billet crank??? Was the motor de-stroked?? because I have been told by engineers that the KA motor will fall apart above 7000 rpms without a custom crank and they are about $4000. I just dont believe you and I hate not believing anyone but it just doesnt make sense cuz the KA motor runs out of steam high in the revs, its a low rpm torque motor not a high revving hp motor. &nbsp;I will have to raise the bullshit flag here.

I'm not saying he's right or wrong, but the engine did fall apart. &nbsp;10k is crazy and from the story, it didn't last long at that high. &nbsp;10k may be insane, but it destroyed his engine completely, so it really isn't possible to rev the ka that high.

My experience (although it seems useless at this point):
I got my s14 up to about 115mph on the way home from the dealership, and it felt like it could have keep going, but it started to feel a little shaky (stock) and i didn't want to total it before I even got it home <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Well...he said he had taken it to 10K many times and it seemed ok. &nbsp;It would take alot of work just to get the KA to survive one trip to 10K. &nbsp;I'm just curious what he has/had done to the motor to make it last that long at that rpm.

s13s don't have shift lights. . .

anywho, I'd guestimate the fastest I've been in a 240sx is ~130 in my old auto '89 on some lonely Nevada highway. Can't tell for sure how quick it was 'cause the speedo stops way before that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> 114 in my '92 5spd.

First off how much HP do you have that makes it possible to pull 155 mph in 4th gear? What all do you have done to your engine, if you where smart enough to through all the possible mods on your car why aren't you smart enough to know not to rev the engine to 10,000 rpm's? There is no power there when you get that high in the rpm's anyway so it's &nbsp;pointless to rev that high in the first place. I'm sorry there are to many things wrong with your post.
