Does the 3.5 in the 01 path have a rev limiter? if so, when does it kick in.
I asked the dealer, he wasn't sure if the paths had them in 01

I have one ('01 Pathfinder) and do not know if it has a limiter or not.

I've never found a reason to drive it to the point that something
electronic would take over for my complete lack of judgement.

It has a tachometer and I have a brain, that's enough for me.

Only idiots wind the engine up to the rev-limiter point just to hear it
shut down and rev up again.

yes it has a rev limiter, mine never seem to pass the red line limit. it
shuts off then turn back on till it reach the red then back down and up to
red again.

im one of the idiots that did it just to see if it would stop. i only did it
once =)

I have not been tempted to test it in my 01 Pathfinder (automatic).  But
it does not sound as smooth as the one in my 95 Maxima SE 5-sp.  I have
hit its rev limiter on occasion during autocross, but when its 3.0L gets
beyond its 6600 rpm redline it just flattens out and stops accelerating
(no drop out). Optimum shift point is somewhat below that anyway (based on
a study someone did on a dyno).
