I got the new slicks mounted and figured I would give them a try. I was spinning the 24.5x8's so bad that I figured I would step up to the 26x8.5's. I went with M&H instead of MT based on the recommendation of several others. Seems to be alot better, I only ran 3 times and the datalogs show that I still have some work to do on the launch, but I managed a 1.84, 1.87 and a 1.79 60 ft time on the 3 runs. The 26" slicks did hurt my mph a little over the 24.5" due to the shift close to the finish line and there was also a large headwind today, but its nice to be able to hook again. Better times to come.

The best was:
60ft 1.84
330ft 5.180
594ft 7.342
1/8th 7.825
mph 93.12

The datalog on the 1.79 run shows that I didn't go WOT until near redline in 1st and then shifted to 2nd and it bogged, so it was a slower time. All 3 passes today were 7.8x though.

 

You trap in the 1/8th what I should be trapping in the 1/4

 

God, I wish there was a 1/4 near your house...lol.'

Great times man, EU I presume?

 

Yeah, it sucks that the closest 1/4 track is almost 2 hours away, but I will be visiting it soon.

No EU, I am using a 4th gen JWT ecu programmed for the injectors/z32 maf.

 

boy nice to see some still going strong .

iam gonna miss my max and racing

 

nice work - that would have been an 11 second run. glad those M&Hs are working better for you.

 

Are you still running 9 PSI?

 

It actually was only around 8.5psi according to the datalog of the map sensor.

 

I am happy with the tires, they are alot more consistent than the MT ever were.

 

Great numbers and excited to see that you will likely be the next 11-sec maxima. I am working on getting mine ready for the 1/4, hopefully I can keep up with you

 

You have got me covered if you can get traction...

 

Nice job man. Definatly looks like you have an 11 sec car.

 

Your on my list of maximas I'd like to see 1/4 times from. Cant wait.

 

Nice run with a decent 60' foot now. Will be cool to see 1/4 #'s once you get them. The M&H's are the way to go for sure, I've been happy with mine.

I think you'll be in the 11's also, and Mexi should be too.

It will be nice to see more 11 sec Maximas! We'll see how close I can get with an N/A 3.5 setup, if all goes as planned I may not be too far behind.

 

I wish I had been able to run more all-motor on the 3.5, it had alot more in it for sure. 1/4 mile numbers will be good when I go, I will launch even harder.

 

Nice work man the thing is really moving! What engine management are you using?

 

Dang...good runs man.

 

Nice times as always!

 

niiiiiiiiiiiice!!!! I'd be afraid to grenade my gears attempting launches like that on my slicks, lol. Good stuff!!!!

 

I haven't launched hard yet...

 

What rpm? Slip or dump?

 

Those passes according to the logs I was riding the clutch through 1st gear even though I wasn't meaning to. I think the highest rpm I tried was around 3k with a quick dump, but then I wasn't going WOT until the top of first. I am so used to having to feather the throttle in first that I have to retrain my right foot to go to the floor when I dump the clutch now that I have traction. When I go to the 1/4 mile I am going to try to launch it hard, more rpms and WOT right away.
