It isn't as fast as my EVO8 but I felt that it was respectable....

60ft/ 1.921
1/8th Mile/ 9.820@71.95
1/4 Mile/ 15.210@92.96

Also in the sig....

That's a psychotic 60' time :wow:

About normal for the rest.

W/ a y-pipe you ahould see mid- high 14's.

What kind of tires you have on there?

 

That's an amazing time for an auto with just an intake. There've been a bunch of stock 5-speeds that haven't even been that quick. Nice...

 

15.2 with just an intake on an auto?? wow. And how in thee hell did you get a 1.9 60'ft. This is blowing my mind.

 

Yes it is. Wondering about the 60' time though. Did you back it up with anything similar or was that the only run you made that looked even remotely like that?

 

No frickin way can that be done with stock sized wheels and just an intake. Even a high stall TC probably wouldnt manage what with stock power.

 

The way that it hooks is with some 300ZX TT 8.5" OEM wheels on the front with 245/45/R16 Potenza tires. The other 60ft times ranged from the 1.921-2.246. I had absolutely no wheel spin at all with my old Z's wheels on it. With the Maxima OEM wheels on the street I can spin them easily.

My buddies said that I was a natural launching FWD and AWD but that I suck at RWD. I was horrible in my old Z. I had some 3.5 60ft times in it.

For the Maxima though it has always been pretty strong compared to other cars. To put in perspective I have a buddy with a Stillen Super Charged Maxima and according to him, I stick with him more than I should in a stock Maxima. Oh BTW I also have a 300ZX TT fuel filter but I doubt that that adds any power???

After driving my EVO8 I guess that I didn't realize how good the 1.9 60ft time actually was.

Thanks guys,

-Nate

 

I wouldn't consider the 300ZX TT wheels and street tires a mod would you? Although they are very light weight and have a nice width at 245mm. But lots of guys have aftermarket wheels and tires that race. I guess that I should have mentioned it none-the-less though.

-Nate

 

I ran 5 times and had everything from the 1.921 to 2.246. My car isn't a beast, it is just about getting the power to the ground efficiently and effectively.

-Nate

 

That is an excellent sixty foot and ET for a N/A auto with just an intake. Other than the wheels and intake has anything else been done? Any weight reduction or less obvious mods than bolt-ons?

 

No that is it. I did install Energy Suspension Bushings everywhere that they made them for.

1) JWT Intake
2) 300ZX TT Rear wheel on the front of Maxima 245/45/R16's (Potenzas)
3) 300ZX TT Fuel Filter
4) ES Bushing kit

I weighed the Maxima at the local weight station and she was 2880lbs, I am almost certain (I don't remember the how much gas was in it).

As far as weight reduction, I took out the floor mats, trunk carpet and the spare and jack in the trunk. Also, I weigh in at 200-215lbs.

That is all I can think of guys.....

-Nate

 

What were your other 60' times, specifically. I'm wondering if you came anywhere close to pulling a 1.92 on your other runs because frankly, I'd say that is an impossible 60' time for a basically stock auto. that is a better 60' time than alot of the guys with nitrous, high stalls, DRs, and in some cases even slicks, are getting because without any of the above, the car just doesn't have the power to physically accelerate a full weight car through the fist 60' that quickly.


Good driver or no (which I'm sure you are), that is by far the best 60' anyone has EVER pulled out of an NA auto without any of the above-mentioned mods, by probably a FULL two tenths of a second. Since you're obviously experienced at drag racing, you know how difficult it is to pull .2 out of your launch.

I'm not questioning the ET because I've seen an almost identical ET run in a very strong NA auto with minimal bolt ons, and at an almost identical trap speed, but he did it on a normal low 2.2 60'. Your 60', trap, and ET don't really match up, and it's the 60' that is what seems out of wack.

 

I guess that maybe it was too good to be true. Do you think that it was a fluke reading.... You know all of the final Trap's and ET's were damn close, the first one was just a little better than the rest.

1.9 (First run)
2.1 (Second run)
2.2 (Third run)
2.1 (Forth Run)
2.2 (Last Run)

Thanks for your inputs guys. It was just a one time thing awhile back and I figured I would see what you guys thought. I appreciate all the input. I guess that I really don't know what to think at this point. Maybe it was a poor reading on the Montgomery Raceway strip or it did it no matter how hard it is to believe. I didn't know that a 1.9 was that hard to stick in these things, I am accustomed to getting 1.6's in my other car.

Thanks again guys,

-Nate

 

Based on that, yeah. I don't think that your ET was a fluke reading by any means, but the fact that you had an UNHEARDOF 60' and yet didn't get any benefit on the bigend in the ET, tells me that the 1.9 was a result of something tripping the 60' lights prior to your car getting there, like a piece of debris.

Don't be bummed though, as you're obviously getting the car down the 1/4 very well (same with your evo BTW). 15.2 with just an intake is among the best out there with just that mod, heck that's quicker than alot of guy's 5spds.

 

Thanks bro,

I was just really happy to hear that a 1.9 was an awesome 60ft for the Maxima and then to realize that it was probably (90-100% chance) an error it just kind of killed the moment for me.

Yeah I am absolutely confident in my ability in the EVO VIII after all AWD is actually quite simple to launch.

The Maxima wasn't ever planned it just happened, I carried extra wheels (Rears from my old ZX TT) of mine for Shawn a 240 SE owner in case he had traction issues with the 300ZX TT fronts that were on the rear of his car. They are the 225/50/R16's. He didn't have any issues with Tires just his clutch on his last run of the night(started slipping bad), it got him home though.

I took the Maxima down to carry some friends while we watched some of the really fast Subie's and EVO's run. The guys paid for me to run and kept pushing it, until I said what the hell. After my times they all were very impressed with the Maxima, especially for a 1996 SE. I just don't think that Maxima gets the props that it deserves all of the time and it felt good to make her run a stand up time 5 times in a row. They already were impressed with her going 130+Mph a couple times on the way up to Montgomery. I love the Maxima for what it is.

Hell, she beat an RX8(My buddy Chris)/Old Mustang GT(Unknown owner)/240 SE(My buddy Shawn) (KA24 Truck Engine special)/ She was beaten by a new Mustang GT and a stock '06 WRX Tuner Ready Edition(My buddy Cooper). BTW most of these people were friends so for my wife's Maxima to be a contender was very funny and cool at the same time. The mid night stop at the Waffle House was so much fun because they were teasing the guys that lost to the Maxima....

Anyway thanks again guys. I will tell my friends that you guys and I agree that the 1.9 60ft was too good to be true.

Here is a link to the Maxima on Cardomain (Here you can see the 300ZX TT wheels on the Maxima, looked great IMHO): http://www.cardomain.com/ride/622946

Here is the 300ZX TT that they came off of: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/541609

Here is my current EVO (Previous owners car domain page): http://www.cardomain.com/ride/737129

BTW,

I will fix my sig as I don't want to have something that appears to be bull****.

-Nate

 

Did you manually shift or leave it in drive on your best run?

 

I found Auto shifting to be more effective than me doing it manually awhile back so I let her do her thing.

-Nate

 

Yes the 1.9 60' was definitely a timing error, Jimes 3.5L high stalled Auto 4th gen on slicks is barely pulling 1.9 60's.

 

Yeah, I am convinced it was an error but it still sucks though. I was very happy but should have realized that all my times were very close inspite of a 1.9 60ft. It has to have been in error. The rest of the runs at 2.199 - 2.246 were pretty good too I suppose, right???

-Nate

 

yes, for an auto and basically stock a 2.1x 60' is great...

 

Yeah I don't think you have anything to feel bad about. A 2.1 is great and the ET is good also for what the car has done to it.

When I said your 1.9 was "excellent" I was giving it the benefit of the doubt until hearing more about the mods etc.. which is why I asked. But now that more info has come out, I agree with the others. But as I said, still nothing at all to feel bad about.

 

how were u launching the car what rpm were you taken it up to?

 

you did great, my stock 5spd couldnt break 2.3's, and the best i got on my 3.5 was a 2.01. your 60' times are great, and track times are good, considering you dont have a y pipe. Definitely a 14 sec car with some minor mods.

 

im sorry im calling bs on this one - no offense. when i first put my supercharger on my 98 i30/maxima with headers and y-pipe with 7lbs of boost i was looking at high 14s to low 15s. i don think a stock auto could pull these times off by any stretch of the imagination.

 

I won't even honor you with an arguement. It was a one time thing and the Maxima did great!!!! If my Max exceeds your imagination and your super charged Infinite then I am very happy. If you read responses in this post you will see that others have run better times than I with the same mod. I hope that after you get some seat time you will be able to make your car run to its true potential.


Thanks to the rest of you for not doubting my super car times of 15.2@ almost 93Mph... BTW, I am almost motivated to super charge my Max and stomp your 13.9@104 claim on Cardomain, almost but it would truly just be a waste since my passion really is in the EVO for Racing. I do love my wifes Maxima and this site is awesome but guys like you are like Pigeons. Pigeons mindlessly sh$t on anything and everything, even national monuments. Please don't sh$t on my post again.

15.2 is super slow to me I am use to running 11.7's-12.4's(12.4 is when I screw up a launch which doesn't happen often) in the EVO.

-Nate

 

dude I've seen it done, lots of guys have done it. Nathan, chi99se, mtrai, etc. comparing these times to your times means nothing... i don't now what was going on with your car but suffice to say your numbers were... well... not exactly representative of what maximas are capable of. a decent time for your setup is more like high 13s. high 14s-low 15s is totally f'd up.

 

Thanks, I was hoping for a voice of reason. I could understand if I ran like a 14 or something but damn it was just a 15.2.
I couldn't help but to laugh when he said that I was running the same times an Intake away from being stock.
Is his car heavier than ours? Or does he just need some coaching and some seat time? Either way good luck to the man in dis-believe.

-Nate

 

probably a combination of inexperience, lack of skill, bad conditions, who knows what else.

 

Yep, You never know whats in-store when at the strip. Oh and if it is going to run like crap or break, it happens at the strip. My old 300ZX TT was famous for having a major or minor issue while on the way to the strip or at the strip. I really had a love hate relationship with that car.

Maxima = Zero issues w/ 5 passes, and the work horse of my family. I love it and it will be with me for a long time.

EVO = Probably 60 total passes and no issues at all.

300ZX TT = Nothing but problems (Usually small crap). Never could get that heavy boat to launch very well.

-Nate

 

I wouldnt have told anybody i ran that with a supercharger. I wonder what i could have pulled before my y-pipe.

 

Stock Maxima with an Intake runs 15.2... Tuned Infinite I30 with Super Charger, Headers and Y pipe runs the same.

Priceless....

-Nate

 

high 14's is stock maxima times. your car must be running on 3 cylinders or something.

 

no where does it say a stock maxima will run those times. your supposedly running 6 speed times with you automatic. plus you have a sunroof on your car - did you take that out? i mean if your telling the truth i would expect a striped down car - no sunroof no back seats etc. a 15s time is faster than many pl think. see comparison below.

1996 Nissan Maxima SE (manual) 6.6 15.2
1993 Ford Mustang GT (manual) 6.1 14.9
remember the 5.0 mustangs were fast for their time and htis guy is saying his stock maxima is 3 tenths away from the 5 speed manual.
1993 Ford Mustang GT (auto) 8.0 16.1

the reason your getting so upset is that your full of shat - prob a 13 yr old kid that doesnt even own a car. my point is an auto max of your year is not capable of 15.2 stock automatic with an intake period (6 speed yes or completly stripped running 13 inch wheels lol). im not saying that is a fast time - im saying your full of shat. btw i said low 15s was a high run for the supercharger (only 7lbs) setup but your gold homo stock auto maxima isnt going to get those times - more like high 16s - idiot... so go ahead and post you stupid reply on how your stock auto maxima is a supercar and maybe you can get ppl to believe you but i know your full of shat. your saying that you shaved off nearly a sec with an intake that is only good for 10hp. man where can i get one of those...

at least i dont inflate my times to try to look cool - i post my real times. if that makes me look slow ill cya on the street homo boy. bring a bottle and blow you engine. lmao

oh ya one more thing the priceless thing has been way overdone it just makes you look liek you have no imagination.

cya

 

What the heck are you talking about? Have you actually bothered to look around at the times some people get on this board? 6speed cars have run 14.1s stock @ 98-99mph, 2k2/2k3 autos have run 14.4s stock @ 94-96mph. You are seriously misinformed when it comes to what these cars are capable of. Just because your car was unable to pull off good times does not mean that others aren't able to.

THE IRONY!!!!!

 

It's always good to come back to this website once every couple of days to see something funny.

Nathan...man I loved that Z. I'm sorry to hear you had some bad luck with her. Cool EVO though, definately a quick car. What was your best time in the Z though? I know you said you couldn't cut 60's with it, but still.

Too funny...ha

edit...+10000000 on the irony, I can't stop laughing

 

Thanks bro,

The best I ever cut in the Z was like a 12.5@120+... With a 2.xx something 60ft. I was horrible in the Z, I never could get her to hook up right. It was totally me though, not the car.

-Nate

 

always glad to bring joy to someones day!

check back ill be here all month...

 

i truly dont believe you even read my post or have serious reading impairment. i know ppl here know a lot about maximas but im not seeing any of them post.

these are not numbers some kid posted he ran these are actual numbers by professional drivers that are not inflating times.

1985 Nissan Maxima SE 8.6 16.7
1989 Nissan Maxima SE 8.9 16.9
1992 Nissan Maxima SE 7.3 15.7
1994 Nissan Maxima SE (auto) 8.8 16.7
1995 Nissan Maxima SE (manual) 6.6 15.2
1997 Nissan Maxima SE 7.1 15.5
2002 Nissan Maxima SE 6.0 14.7

yes i have check here you moron. if you read my post im talking about his auto max not a 6 spd not a 2k max. this is an un-bias non-kid real look on the cars performance. check the link and stop super-inflating this cars performance.
