you must beat off to everytime you see her timeslip huh... i guess i'd be happy as a **** if my youngin could even likes anything about cars....... however her times is impressive...

wait wait wait.... you ran a 14.1 stock...then added headers.. bumped your timing?..put in a new clutch and then only ran a 13.9? was this after the 6g trans.. maybe the FD ratio sucks?... dont get me wrong 13's are great.. but i would expect somewhere around 13.4 ish...did you ever get it tuned?

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe he has a good reason why...

Nice RT, Lower your tire air pressure to about 26 psi it'll hook better! Are you manually shifting it? All three times I tried manually shifting it I screwed up only ran a 14.7 shifted from 1st to 3rd! I'm sure I need a tune but I not shooting for 13.3 AFR(too lean) but will lean just a hair to 12.8 AFR, but I want a fully open TB butterfly and linear with the throttle pedal, so I'll also get a full spec TS reflash as well! The reflash alone will lean out the AFR a little and put me in the 12.5-12.8 AFR ballpark! That Injen Intake is holding me back as for now!

Makes no sense, all those mods and only gained 0.2

how many times did he run with those mods???

Assuming your car runs like it should which from your dyno numbers I would think it would and assuming you know how to drive I would say at Gateway you should trap somewhere around the 94-96mph range. I trapped 94 stock with an Injunk intake that was holding me back more than anything and then I trapped 100mph once with my headers and what not. Maybe I'll see you up there sometime this summer and I can show you the difference between a stock Max and a full bolt-on tuned one LOL j/k

challenge!!!

Hopefully next Tuesday I will get out there..I plan on being out there a lot this summer..most of the time in the Probe though (I am always up for a friendly run tho). I would still like to see the car, your sig picture looks pretty cool. Need to get that stl area meet going! lol

keep us posted

It don't look as good now as it did in the sig which was the first time around. I did have Cattman Gen III's and everything else in between but now I still have the stock springs, the stock cat, and catback. The taillights are stock again and the rear sidemarkers are red again. But give me a few weeks, she'll look identical to the sig

13.9 @ 101 on a worse 2.27 60ft had just PR CAi and Cattman headers = gained 4+ mph running in August with 85-90degree F, TX heat-- the DA that day was horrid whereas , like I said on my post -- ran the stock times in real clean 60degree F with high barometric pressure over 30...Also for more 'excuses' it was on the worn, original clutch on its way out and dont think I had the o2 sensors wired in yet..
Edit: On that same day, the other Maximas there without headers were running in the mid-to-high-14's and trapping mid 90mph's..

The car has not had a tune either... and I have since added the clutch, 6th gen trans, suspension, timing, etc since that day and have not been back to the track w/ the new stuff yet. Who knows what she can run now on a nice weather day.. but untill then, that is what she has run.

Also for what it's worth, listed in sig is my stock '02 Altima 3.5SE 5spd and ran 9.01 ~ 79mph on a 2.16 60ft at the 1/8th mile track. In fact, that 1/8th time I ran on that car was better than the Maxima ever did [stock] in the 1/8th.. make whatever of that you will, but the weather that night was nice as well.

The night he is talking about was a horrible night for everyone. I think the DA was somewhere near 3k and I was running about 4/10 of a second slower and trapping 2-3 miles lower than usual.

I believe that weather plays a huge factor. Here in Orlando it is always 80 degrees plus with high humidity. Last night at the track there was a G35 club that had around 15 cars. Most had minor mods like intake and exhaust. They were mostly in the mid to high 14's. Including some 350z's with mods. The only 2 I saw in the 13's was a single turbo G35 that ran around 13.00 @ 111 mph and another G35 spraying, and he ran high 13's but with traps around 105-108 mph, which means he has low 13's in it. BTW there was a Nissan GTR running 10.5-10.8 @ around 130 mph.

And I found this out after I left the track last night. http://www.orlandoforums.com/forum/s...d.php?t=130756

WOW...who has money to blow up a gtr and rebuild it.. seriously.. lol...




and plano- tune that baby and get her out on another 60 degree day and see what shes got low 13's here you come

how hard would it be to get a GTR in the 10's... not to mention with the 370z making 55whp with two blot ons

i think the car runs better if u leave the shifting alone and let it shift on its own

hmm

You already have that.

all foriegn territory here, someone care to teach me on what this is all about???

Once I practice my shifting in this car I'll beat the Auto mode times. I equaled them once already and with the 2 screw ups was off pace 1 mph and .1 second, so I'm sure it can trap @ 97 mph and reduce my time by at least .3-.4 second! I normally drive a 5 spd D21 Hb pickup and I don't wanna let me habit of manual shifting, kick in on the auto and throw the think in park at 40-50 mph....LOL!

89 mph trap? Sounds like your car is laying down on top end. What rpms are you/the transmission shifting at? I've noticed that if my car shifts at 6000 rpm instead of 6400/6500 rpm it feels soft going into the next gear. You may also have cats that are slowly clogging up which would definitely affect top end.

PlanoSER has the quickest stock time I am aware of.

I don't think so. I remember back when I first got on here, there were a few other 14.1s w/ higher traps. I thought a guy out in TN pulled a 98 or 99??

I trapped at 98.27 the very first time I ever ran my car at the track...but I had a terrible 2.3 60' so my ET was a 14.3...I had no mods and heavy 6th gen front brakes and bald tires..

What was the temp when you ran? Those are really fast times for a slow 60 ft! Any suspensions mods or were you completely stock except for the 6th gen brakes. I've been able to launch with a good 60ft of 2.171 with my 02 auto but I'm running of of breath down the track only mustarded up a 14.6 @ 93.35 mph. I'll go down there tonite and run that Injen intake top half only. To see if the trap speed increases! But I'm wearing those same 6th front brake with 18" rims and 245/40/18 Nitto 555 extremes.

Those are quick stock times. Does the high humidity here in Florida make a big difference? Or am I and my car doing something wrong? My best trap was 95mph stock. And that was a 2.2 60ft.

321VQ, weather does play a big role in how well your times/traps will do. Back when I went to goto the track frequently (w/ other cars of the past) I would try to check the weather info for that day. Most of the time I would try to go when conditions were favorable. The main thing I look at is the Barometric pressure -- try to go when this is over 30 and you should be doing pretty well(the higher the better.) There are even calculators online for DA -- density altitutude, where you can plug in the weather info from that day to calculate the effect of the weather on your times. I like wunderground.com for good detailed weather info. Check it out if you are curious, it is pretty interesting just to see...

wow thats extreme

It was cold. I think in the 50's or so. Also, the track is at sea level. It rained the day before, so it was pretty humid.

The cold is good for the car, but bad for the tires. I had a hell of a time hooking up. That 2.3 60' was my best the entire night... I even had a 2.6 and wheelhop so bad my windshield wipers turned on.

My suspension was modded. I had H-techs and illuminas. My tire pressure was 30 psi, because I had to drive 40 miles back home and the air compressor at the track was broken (this track is in the middle of nowhere...)

I was running a previous generation mustang GT that was extremely loud, and I thought I would get my *** handed to me, but I really didnt. I held a 1 1/2 carlength gap the entire way and actually started to close it just before we crossed the line. If only the max were RWD....lol. I can dump the clutch from 4k in my bimmer and barely spin the tires...I can't do that from idle in my maxima without spinning..

went to the track sunday.. got 2 okay runs in.. ran a 15.096 and 14.952.. not as fast as i hoped but it was the first time for me at a track.. i trapped at 91.34 on the 14.952 and 60' was 2.314.. theres a lot of room for improvement..
mod list = hks exhaust (thinking of getting another one), custom block off plate, frankencar intake.. im looking for a y-pipe next, and might get some spacers, still thinking about it
i was spinning even with the tire pressure low..

well..ran a best of 14.26 @ 98.4 on a 2.2 60ft. This was on 40psi Goodyear RS-A tires...stock.

auto or manual? damn good run man! what were the weather conditions?

manual..weather was clear and in the 50's

I would love to run when the weather is in the fifties. It is always 80 degrees plus with high humidity.

Yeah it was last minute to decide to go down there. Didnt bring a tire pressure gauge..oops.

thats decent, though your MPH seems a lil low i did 15.023@92 and my MPH was low, my mod is a 4th gen short ram intake from ebay your car has a lil bit more in it... what size wheels were you using???

hmmm

things that make you go 'hmmm' ??
