How can you find out what the speed limiter - governor - in your car is set to?

You should check with your auto dealer or manufacturer. A mechanic who specializes in the make of your vehicle might also be able to help you. Take the vehicle out on the freeway and give it all she's got. Check your speed and you should easily be able to tell what the max speed is and that is what your governer is set at. Generally vehicles are set to cut out at 100 mph. Depending on the year of your car and the type of tansmission it may not even govern out until the valves open and close so fast that they "float" meaning they neither open nor close and thus cut the engine rpm to a more sustainable speed. I have an 1988 Mustang with a four cylinder in it and I am yet to govern it out or make the valves float even at speeds of up to 180 km/h.

How do you disconnect the speed limiter on a 1996 240sx?
if your car is automatic there should be no speed limiter, but if it is 5 speed manual, put an ECU out of an automatic 1996 240sx and the problem will be solved. im almost positive the ecu is OBD1 in the 1996, but make sure youre putting in the same OBD ecu.
