Decided to go to the track again so my GF could get some runs in HER car and she ended up running a new personal best lol. Her first run was a 14.0@101 and she was pretty mad that she didnt break 13's. It was mostly her launch so I told her to try it again and her next run was 13.74@101 and she was super happy. We let the car cool off for a little while while my brother made some passes on his drag radials. Then we mounted them up on her car and I told her the first pass will be the worst until she gets a feel for them and I was right. She did a pretty bad burnout and floored it when she launched and smoked them halfway down the track lol. So I told her to launch like she was on street tires and she ended up running 13.58@103 2.19 60' . She was lined up with a modded 03 mustang GT that ran 13.7@103. She was pretty pumped to say the least. I took it down the track on the last run of the night and ran 13.66@102 2.23 '60. The car loves this cooler weather ALOT. I heard one guy yell out "A turbo maxima??" lol. I'll post the timeslip and pics of the car later today. I knew the car had it in it!

 

Props, way to keep it 100

 

damn.....props 2 her....she drive better thanu ...

 

Nice. Its good that your other half enjoys and actually participates in this hobby too.

 

Nice times!! The drag radials helped a lot

 

Nice times.

I want to build a budget 3.5 auto 4th gen pretty badly.

 

So the 13.74 was on street tires and the 13.58 was with the radials? Nice drop in time just from a tire change!

 

P.S. Pics of the car?

Black one is his brother's that has the fastest N/A time in DMV. The gold one is his GF's that this thread is about.

 

Congrats... I will make my mark down there soon .... lemme borrow the radials

 

congrats

 

correction: he has the fastest n/a auto 3.0 in th DMV....

 

LOL I aint mad it just means I did a good job teaching her.

Yup its definatly nice. She has her moments though.

Yeah I still need to get a 2.0 60' on them.

Thanks. The car is sooo much fun to drive.

Yeah next time were putting 15's in the back to see if it makes a difference.

 

Whatever you know what I meant lol

 

 

You make me want to build a 4th gen so bad. I can find them for like $500-800 with a blown headgasket or something else wrong with it. Then swap in a 3.5 and have some fun.

I'm lazy, do you have a build thread on your gf's car?

 

I need to run this car. I am will to bet meatballs and brownies. AJ set it up!

 

great times considering the not so good 60's.

 

The converter is what's holding the auto cars back. If he could get a good converter in there, I bet 1.7-1.8 60fts would be possible.

 

Thats actually exactly what we did lol. http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/5...ss-thread.html

 

LOL SEE ME.

 

Cool, I'll read up on it. Thanks for the link!

 

Congrats..

 

DMV showing the world that our cars are to be respected... congrats to you and your GF once more AJ... keep it up, loooove the traps...

 

hustle we need radials.

 

Nice times

 

man dont we.... im trying to think of why our times would be greatly improved though... i mean, if im already doing a 2.0 60' on street tires im gonna probebly pull a 1.9 at best... not much an improvement there, i still want em though

 

Those are my radials....lol

 

lemme borrow the radials then ... jk jk

 

If you want a bigger improvement, get a higher stall converter. Then you'll need some slicks. That will drop your times quite a bit.

 

High stall FTW!!! my next major mod will be that ,a new trans and brand new axles

 

Yeah that's awesome! I ask my wife too go with me all the time....She hasn't gone yet!.....We've been in Houston 13 yrs now! LOL! Guess I'll take a female friend.......

 

Thanks man. We have 2 mods in the works for the car you probably saw pics of one of them on FB. We'll see how much of a difference they will make once everything is on and we hit the track again. Truthfully Im happy with the 13.5 but I think we could get a 13.3 before the tracks close. If only I could pull a 2.0!

 

A 1.9 would get you a 13.5. I'd say its worth it.

 

I really think we need more practice on the radials. Maybe Im crazy but I thought drag radials were supposed to hook no matter how you launch them. I tried launching at 2200 and spinned them off the line. A higher stall would just make the spinning worse. I guess if we were on slicks it would be different.

 

This will be installed this week.



And we'll be testing this out probably next year.

 

Wipe the grass out before you put it on

 

i know...... dont really care to do that mod as yet...

 

Drag radials suck for fwd cars. Get some 22 or 23" slicks for that bad boy.
Yeah, definitely won't be the easiest thing to do. lol

 

not at all.. i just dont care for the mod moreso.. just not now at least... honestly i dont even care for radials or slicks right now either... maybe when and if i go the TC route, i wanna try out some radials though, just for fun
