Take a GPS system with you next time to see how fast you're REALLY going, because I really don't think those speedos are that accurate beyond 100MPH.

My Honda VTX1300 is 10% too high, which also means that the odometer rolls 10% too fast, and my gas mileage is 10% better on paper.
My Honda Civic is the same way - there was a class action lawsuit over it, where I could have put in a claim - except it had to be on leases and we bought ours...
Having said that, I don't know what Nissan does - if it's something where all the japan cars are like that or not.
