here i am at great lakes dragway on the 3rd along with everyone else from up here and i raced this idiot 2 times and won both here is one of the runs whats the other guys deal? hes got nismo intake and full exhaust hmmm video me vs se-r spec v -ryan

 

edit..nevermind i guess i misread this...

 

ummm idk i dont understand what your talking about unless u drive a sentra? idk maybe you thought somthing else when you were reading? who knows but im confused -ryan

 

What were the times? 15.1 for you?...

 

The Spec V is not too fast. Why does it surprise you that you won?
Even with an intake and exhaust it would be lucky to break into the 14's.
Stock aren't they mid 15's cars.

 

question.. I'm not exactly how this works, but... where's the video? I don't see a link or anything.. heh..

Edit: n/m, I found the link.

 

The spec v ran 17s from what I remember, joosdawg was running 16s I think. I have the videos on tape but haven't checked.

 

Actually a 2004 SpecV with just an intake would be ~14.9 1/4.
They are mid-15s stock...but not too many auto 4th gen Maximas are mid-15s stock.

 

the spec v's make like 180 horse dont they? that's plenty to push a light car into the 14's if very well driven. The vid. didnt work on the computer here at school, so I dunno what I'm even talking about, but I know the cars are fairly quick

 

the guy obvisouly cant drive....it sounds like both the cars are takin their time shifting...i gotta maxima yea...but put people who can drive em right side by side and watch what wins ..the spec v...o and im selling my max and getting one....i wanna cylinder with some get up rather than a v6 thats slower and not as good on gas

 

There was a guy who hit 14s with a stock spec v.

 

Well that guy wasn't in this video...These guys can't drive. And if you think you can't make your Max fast, you just haven't been around here much. I still get 30 MPG on the highway, and three weeks ago, I smoked a new vette (not a Z06) with my Max. You only need to invest about $1500 to really be fast.

 

Spec Vs are crap, I spank them in my 91 all the time, I run 14.7@93 with just a couple of bolt ons.... Spec Vs don't deserve the title of SE-R

 

Come on down to Texas...we have some SpecVs in DNE that run 14.7 constantly with 'just a couple of bolt-ons'.


They aren't crap...
How are you getting your Classic SE-R to run 14.7? With slicks or without? Just curious what couple of bolt-ons you are using. I'm definitely not calling bs.

 

Intake and Header with 2-piece UR pulley set. Wait till the cams and exhaust go on, then boost. My times are on street tires.....

2.5 motor doesn't have the potential that the SR has in my opinion.......

 

with those mods u should be in low 15's not 16.1, u got any codes?

 

the max ran 16.19 & the spec V ran 16.7, lol, should be more like atleast 15.7...

JOOSDAWG? what was your 60ft time? you looked like you launched ok for an auto...... my 3.5 might not even be that much quicker off the line......

 

but yea, you might wanna check the knock sensor, you should be doing mid low 15s with your mods......

 

low 15s for a 99 auto max with those mods? Keep dreaming guys. There were 2 or 3 other maxes with the same mods running 15.8 or so tops.

 

^^^ thats pretty slow, since a decent STOCK 4th gen auto could do that already...

well I would say not with an amazin launch, but decent, should yield you a 15.4 15.5

hell... intake and ypipe autos have been running mid 15s not over stressingly...

 

whats up guys... i have an 04 maxima se auto and a 02 spec v with just intake and it runs very very low 15s best run to date with just intake, which in my opinion didnt add power is a 15.2 at 91.8 mph.. the 04 spec v's are a tad faster due to the knock sensors already being relocated... best run in my bone stock 04 max se auto is a 14.2.. spec v's arent slow alot of people think that, for a n/a 4 banger the car moves.. nice run against the spec bro..

 

Stock looking maybe.

I was with my friend in his truly stock from bumper to bumper, tires to roof stock GTI 1.8T
I was in the passenger seat, and my friend isn't quite as good as a driver as I, but a guy in a Spec V was trying really hard to get us to "run" him.
After his second hard launch from a light, my friend decided to give him the "run" he wanted at the next light.
Even with a bad launch (the Spec V jumped a car length out of the gate)
By the time he hit second he was alongside, halfway through third he was nearly a car length ahead, when he shut it down (and the guy in the Spec V was alone, the GTI had 2 people in it).

And about a year ago, I pulled away quite hard on another guy in a Spec V with my 02 Max GLE (stock).

I've also test drove a Spec V, and with it horrible wheel hop with any kind of hard launch, I don't think a Spec V can run in the 14's if it's TRULY and completely stock.

The similiarly powered GTI 1.8T not only feels faster, but from what I've seen on the road (and even magazine racing) is.

 

Wrong Wrong Wrong! SE-R's are low 15 to high 14 cars stock which makes them quick. I've driven my coworker's SE-R V numerous times with an Injen and it's still quick.

Two things about that vid, both cars were slow and the Spec V driver was a terrible driver.

 

That's a true statement plus the 2.5 owners will tell you the same. It's much weaker (strength wise) than the SR.

 

The 2.5's fairly low redline doesn't help in the cams department either.....

Very nice...I definitely agree the SR has more potential. There are a ton of aftermarket companies that have been selling tuner parts for SRs for a LONG time now. A friend of mine is running a Turbo Classic SE-R in the lower 13s so 14s don't sound too far-fetched. It also helps the Classics don't weigh much.

 

anyone that says Spec V is a crap car, needs to come down here and race my buddy. All he has is a CAI, header, and catback. I've only gotten to race him once but he easily caught up to me. I'll find out next month for sure though who is the fastest. But i for one will not bag on that sentra because i know for a fact that they are damn fast.

 

Where's the links to see timeslips of STOCK (no aftermarket tires or wheels, or seats removed) SE-R's running high 14's

I've beaten the Spec V easily in my stock 02 Max GLE
I've been with my friend who has beaten one in his stock 02 GTI 1.8T
I've never seen a stock one run at the track, they're always modded.

And funny in the dozens of magazine testers who've timed them, most have been getting 15.4-15.6 or so and trap speeds in the 89-90 mph range.
One mag got a 15.2 with a 2004 car (not sure, but didn't they improve the shifter and maybe raise the redline a bit in 2004?)

In order to get 14.9 stock, the car would have to run 0-60 in the 6.4-6.5 second range and have a hard top end. The SE-R Spec V is a low to mid 7's car to 60 and with it's 6100 rpm redline, it's not a top end car.
At freshalloy.com the only times I could find were all 15's
One guy said he ran a 15.15 or so at 88+ mph stock. But nobody else seems to be anywhere close to that.
Couple guys could only get 16.0-16.2 stock.

There may be a ringer or two around, but sorry, truly STOCK current SE-R's are not going to get into the 14's.
Again, I'd have to see several time slips and the owner would have to state that the car is completely stock. Otherwise, just posting a random timeslip and saying the SE-R spec V is a high 14's car is just BS.

 

^ I agree... even motor trend (always known for fast times) only got 15.4 with it... the same mag that got 15.2 in 95 for the maxima

however, almost NO magazines got the VQ35 autos in the 14s either... all low 15s, a few mid 15s

people who get high 14s I guess brake torque & manually shift(they aren't even proper ways for an auto btw)

 

I have't ever seen a SpecV commonly hit high-14 anything stock.
