Hi!

The 1999 Maxima engine is a 3 liters 190 hp v6. And the Maxima have a 222 Hp v6.

What are the difference in a 1/4 miles race with the 2 cars.. stock and manual?

Btw sorry for my english im french, and im a noob :P

 

Read the 4th gen FAQ's thoroughly.

Considering their weight differences, sotck for stock they will be pretty even in both auto and 5spd trims in terms of 1/4 mile time.

This is debatable, but these are typical results.

Also, andyime after that (1/4 mile) the 5th gen will pull away because of the extra HP on the high rev band. Stock vs. Stock of course.

 

I have a 2k, my friend has a 98, and another has a 2k. When i got my car, i raced my friend's 98. at the time my car was stock, his had a short-ram intake only, and an air-temp sensor mod. I beat him everywhere. From a stop i got him by 2 car lengths after 500 feet. Both our cars are 5 spds. And yes we both know how to use them. Up top his midrange is impressive, and he can catch a stock 00 from 60-90, but after I shift third ~105, he's gone, forever. Since he's done a Cattman catback, fstb, rsb, and he beats auto y2ks all day, or night long. My other friend has a '00 that is completely stock, minus my old airbox that i cut the front off of. His as well is 5spd, and he beats the 98. the 5spd makes the diff. Now i have a y, CM test pipe, and Greddy, and I hang out with stock 5.5 6spds. I beat auto 3.5s even with an intake. Above 125 is where you really notice the diff. VIAS gives the 00 a huge advantage, after 125, I walk on all 4th gens.......At least that i've raced.

 

How fast are you in the 1/4 mile? I run 15.00, stock 1995 5-speed... but keep in mind that 95s are a bit lighter than your friend's 98 and have different emissions equipment.

 

Very true statements. The 4th gens just can't match the 5th gens power after 5500 RPM"s. I've had many races at the track with them and I get walked by them at the very end.

 

wow, a 2k 5spd with just an intake beats the 3.5 autos?

how quick were ya with an intake?

 

yeah the 2k Intake manifold is what makes the 2K's real fast up top.
but some are cali specs and they are slower because of the added emissions.
i have a cali spec 99, and to be faster i'm going to get that 2000 IM

 

I'd like to see that one.....

 

Maxima.org Dyno Comparisons: Battle of the Maxima 3.0's - by Steve Pake


https://maxima.org/modules.php?name=30_comparisons

 

I'm not sure i've never run the quarter, although a wrx that ran 14.7 ran next to me and once second gear came ~42, he fell back to about 2 car lengths at around 100mph, then above 120 he caught up, as the turbo reached full boost, then at 135 he hit the fuel cut in which case i continued on to about 145 before backing down. At 95mph, around where we'd be crossing the 1/4 i had him by well over a car length. that was before my y-pipe and test pipe. it would be a slaughter now, granted his wrx is stock.
As for the 3.5s, if you look at their dyno's, the autos are often putting out right around 200whp, some a few less. Look at a 2k-2k1 dyno with my mods, they are easily putting 195-200whp, a few as high as 205-207. Coupled with the ratios so beautifully matched to our engine, i never fall below 4000rpm once out of first shifting just above redline. I found it'll go til about 6700, tach indicated, before the fuel cut, the needle is clearly in the red, has anyone else noticed this? So if you compare the facts, its rather easy to see, plus little factors like type of oil used, how well it's maintained, etc all plays a part.

 

street racing and racing at a track are no comparison. The orignal question in this thread was for 1/4 mile so if your hitting speeds in excess of 100 then it is of no significance. The simple fact of the matter is an 4th gen and 5th(00-01) gen with the same mods the 4th gen would be faster. Look some of the NA maximas are running low 14's.
Greensemax... the fact that you beat your buddies 98 is not very good way of gauging since it was not at the track and your friends car has 147K and maybe a bit tired.
My mods are on my home page and my 1/4 mile time is in my sig

 

Some N/A 4th gens are running high/mid 13s without headers...

 

4th gen trannies suck.

 

Yes but . . . a roll from 60 is a different story!! Right?

 

Not if you have the Limitied Slip Differential 5-speed version of the I30's and Canadian maximas.

Of course, you have an auto, so it kind of explains why you think they suck...

I'd take the 5-speed over the 6-speed any day.

 

Racing a WRX from a roll is TOTALLY different from racing one from a dead stop. They are mid, low 14-second cars stock. Once you get over the launch (AWD), they loose much of their advantage. Hell my stock 95 5-speed almost kept up with a WRX from a 40 roll. He was pulling ssssslllllllllllllllllllloooooooooowly.

 

PFFTTTTT......the 5th gens. vs the 4th gens. is a dead lock because the weight difference compared to the hp difference evens itself out. I have destroyed plenty of 5th gen times stock and them with mods. ITS ALL ABOUT THE DRIVER NOOBS.

 

btw...wrx is pathetic because any maxima can hang with one from 15 mph to 60 i know i have

 

ive seen wrxs at the track runnign 2.0 60 foots but my best is a 2.12 on street tires with just a y-pipe and i have beaten a wrx at the track. i hate them because they aint **** on the street.

 

I got beat by one on the street not to long ago. 2k4 wrx with, intake, uppipe, and port n polished turbo. From a roll It was pretty even. I know I have owned one in my old car so I would think this kids would be 14 flat or high 13s. Does anyone know how much power they gain from those mods?

 

One of my good friend have a 04 WRX with uppipe, downpipe, exhaust and he walks me slowly on the highway.

 

Does this work the same with the 01's? I have a Cali spec(I think) and am wondering if I can get a Fed spec IM, and if it is worth it?

 

Fed spec and Cali specs have same HP, people need to stop smoking **** here. I will show ya some dyno sheets and videos soon. I don't drag race my car, I aint no drag racer so you won't see any 1/4 mile times. 01 is actually a better car than a 00 due to the simple fact we are able to employ TS ECU upgrade for our cars. 15" steel wheel 5spd GXEs have put down 192-199WHP bone stock. 15" wheels where OEM size for base no option GXEs like mine. I won't mind doing a friendly roll on with a 3.5L 6spd or a 4th gen to prove my sloooow Cali spec GXE.

 

Yup, Cali to Fed spec means no real performance difference in the 4th Gen world either. My car is a Cali Spec and has the fastest stock time for an auto.

 

Hmmm that is weird...you would think a car that has 2 pre-catalytic converters would be slower than a car that has one...

 

That's funny, my car sucks up top, I lose the vast majority of my races in the 85-100 mph range...I guess that's just due to the fact that 3rd gear in the 5th gen autos is WAAYYYYYYYY too tall.

 

Your VIAS probably aint working good, unplug it- connector right on the switch over mechanisim- take it for a spin. If it pulls the same exac way past 5K RPM- then you know its broke. 4spd Auto Maximas aint good with roll ons- stock 5spd 00-01 in good shape will walk a auto 3.5L from a 70MPH race. I wouldn't know bout precats as my Maxima hasn't had any for a long time- HS headers

 

Yeah, I think it's more of an issue of my car just being slow than the VIAS not working, lol.

 

i have a 2000 Max... and i think i am slow..... never run on track but got smoke by a 2000 TL><

 

anyone have ideas on 1/4 mile for a stock 00 auto Max?

 

What do you think an 02 maxima would run with 240 rwhp?

 

lets see...an 02 wouldnt put out 240 Rwhp seeing as how its FWD buddy. just letting you know try FWHP

 

my guess is low 14's not sure.

 

240whp=13s or you can't drive
