New free mod! 30mph increase in top speed!

I discovered this by accident when 2 of my gauge cluster bulbs went out:
When driving at night, the audible overspeed warning ("Honey, you're going too fast") was not activated.

To try this yourself just turn the dimmer switch all the way so you can't see the gauges.

I belive that the speed limiter (aka girlfriend) was not able to get a correct reading of the car's speed. After some more experimentation I found that I still received overspeed warnings but the speed limitation device was less certain ("Honey, I think you're going too fast"). Also, it could be easily reset by saying "What are you talking about? I'm only going 60mph."

And to find out if your car is equiped with one of these to begin with, listen for the audible warnings, and check this thread
for examples.http://www.nissanforums.com/showthre...ght=girlfriend

I think these come in the boyfriend variety too, so for the chicks and gay dudes out there, this should work for you as well.
