jprater88 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 im lucky to even see 75, to tell the truth with the gearing in the older models (well my year atleast) they wont get up to fast or to a high speed... If they had an overdrive unit or another gearset inside the main cluster of the trans they might respond better and travel faster... I have been trying to find a different trans that will mate up and get better fuel economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) I had my 87 Hardbody with the TBI up to 105, got pulled over to no ticket !! but it was going down a big hill, automatic with 4.62 gears can't recall the tire size Edited August 15, 2010 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 the fact is, not amount of gear ratios will help these tired engines over a certain speed. they may help down low and they may improve economy. If your asking about a governor to limit the top speed the w/d21 pathfinders and hardbodies Have none. Also a misconception some ppl have is that the numbers on the speedo indicate top speed.... I seen cars that can't get within 30mph of that speed(140) and I've seen trucks peg the needle and keep accelerating(90). MY TBI has been over 105 before I decided to let off the gas.

Kingman Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I've hit 100. It falls flat on on it's face from 3rd to 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismothunder Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 About a nice nor-easter blowing at 45 right up your crack.My 95 was about 95-100 with its fiv6.And a lower gear ratio hurts top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Some people here must have really tired engines. I have to watch myself or I will "merge" with freeway traffic at 80+. And that's with an MPFI truck with 198,000 miles and an auto with the 4.6 gears. But I'm not sure if I would feel safe going any faster than 90 in it...

Some people haven't exactly held it to the wood to see where it tops out either though ability to whip through congested traffic come far more in handy than top speed here, I'd rather know every inch of how I'm gonna handle than know I can hit 102 mph and never be able to get it there since I'm gonna hit traffic before I can even get a decent run through 5th gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frecklecolouredbrain Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I've hit 106(170kph) on a dead flat road. It took a while too; good thing I'm in Saskatchewan(thats in Canada). What I like the most about these trucks going that fast is the feeling that you're not entirely connected to any road surface at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've noticed a lot of people say their rigs get a little scary at high speeds, I don't notice it at all. It's harder to reach high speeds because the torque curve falls off pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I haven't been on the highway since the tire swap, but I'd regularly cruise around 75-80mph. It'll go a little faster, but I don't think there's too much "umph" above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.510 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Mine went 112mph (GPS verified) when it was still on 31s. It took a long time to get there and slowed very rapidly when I let off the gas! My torque curve is moved up a bit as I've got Z31 heads on it. With comparable tire size and gearing my Pathy is just slightly quicker than a stock MPFI model, like a truck length to 60mph. With the 33s it gets really 'floaty' at about 90 so I don't think I'll be top speed testing it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 My torque curve is moved up a bit as I've got Z31 heads on it. I thought z31 heads were the same. Care to highlight the differances since I am sure you have been into many VG's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You can hit 115 MPH in the Pathfinder. However, you can go faster with the following setup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
