I have a 2005 3.5 SE. I hit 141mph and the car could have gone a little faster. The car had no perfomace mods at the time.

I was in 5th, the petal just wasn't all the way down. I had to slow down for a turn before it topped out. I have been meaning to top it out since i've added a cold air intake.

The only thing i can think of is to check to make sure that every thing on the car is in working order.Some times a car wont let you speed if there is something wrong with it like overheating,misfire,spark plugs,etc

Dude, there is nothing wrong with your car. I have an 05 3.5 SE and had the same problem. You need to have your ECU reflashed. You may be able to get a Bullydog reprogrammer or any up to date reprogrammer for that matter to remedy the problem.
Nissan f*cked a few of us 3.5 Altima drivers and gave us this problem. (Easy fix though!)

---- you guys are nuts, 150 in an altima....ive got 170+ in my 200 but that had an assload of suspension and engine mods, the alti gets to high speeds in a hurry but i see no need to go over 80 unless im on the track now cause i have a little one now.
