12.9 @ 106.9MPH ALL MOTOR 6th gen!!!
6 = 12.6" rotors
So he'd have to first convert over to 5.5 or Altima brakes.
Damn you Maximas and your overall mind-altering E/T fluctuating ways of insanity! Damn it. I need to buy a Maxima.

How much psi were the et streets inflated to?
Limiting straps will definitely help with your weight transfer problem. You already know that.
You might be able to install some 3rd or 4th gen brakes. I think the main issue would be how to mount the calipers. Idk... 
Damn that's light for a 6th gen! I bet that's close to what my 3rd gen weighs with driver. Did you remove things like a/c, ps, and/or bumper supports?

The car has no a/c (never used it to begin with), and no bumper supports. Still running the power steering.
I can't wait till the skinnies are here. Should help it a little more.
Thanks!
Thanks!
if you're gonna do all that weight reduction and aero mods you might as well do whatever's necessary to get 15" wheels on there so you can get a good tire on it. I think some 5.5G guys have managed to fit a 15" wheel on there, right? jime and blubyu2k2 come to mind. Not sure if they did brake swaps or brake grinding or just made sure to find the proper wheel with the proper spoke shape, etc. ET Streets blow. you'd probably be able to run 12.6 with just a tire change.
great time and trap man
great time and trap man
Thanks!
FWIW, I was there and looked the car over pretty well. The doors were gutted, along with the side mirrors, the front passenger seat was gone, the rear seat was gone, and the jack was out of the car. The slicks/wheels were pretty light, too. The engine showed no obvious mods other than the mentioned intake and a great looking fabricated exhaust after the stock cats. The custom air intake tube was exposed and I saw no nitrous installed.
Unless there was a RMT under all that blue tape, what you see is what you get.

You are my living proof other than myself
Hey krazy6, I have a good set of 5.5g rotors and calipers for sale. I'll let them go for $50 plus shipping.Let me think about buying the brakes. I am pretty damn interested, but then I have to come up with money to buy some wheels and slicks.
The car ran 13.3 with very little weight reduction. The car ran 14.0 with full interior and street tires spinning bad.
Question did you disconnect your power steering belt before the pass if not there is something else you can try
I still have the power steering. I might take it off the next time I hit the track.
I shift at redline and launch at redline.

you should shift @ 6300 rpm via early because one altima ser stock did 13.9 @ 99 mph on shift on early by youtube, i believe you use early shift maybe 12.7-12.8 @ 107.5 to 108.5 mph also put ice on intake manifold, cold starter, and low temperature maybe you should track @ night? that good point?

Yeah, like I said, lots of weight reduction.
I only took out the driver side corner light to feed the filter.
Aerodynamics is something most people don't think about. I did a very simple modification and got some great results.
Thanks man!
The rear diffuser surprised me with some great gains. You should definitely give it shot on your car.
Yeah, these tires aren't the greatest. I think the suspension is to blame though. It lifts a lot in the front and squats in the rear. Exactly what I don't need it to do.
I wish I could fit a 15" wheel on the car, then I could throw some 24.5s on it and actually hook.
So, this week I am gonna try to sort out the suspension for this fridays track day.
Also, I weighed the car today, and it weighs 3108lbs with me in it. No wonder its running so good.

Thanks man! The whole car is pretty much gutted.
I have been daily driving with this battery for like 3 weeks now and it hasn't given me any problems.
Thanks man!
Think of it this way:
MPH shows how much power you make.
ET shows how good you can hook.
Basically, your mph will stay relatively the same if you get a 2.2 60' or a 1.8 60'.
You trapped 110mph, so with some good traction (1.8 60' or less) you should be deep into the 12s.
This is why you will see fwd turbo cars trap like 140mph and run a 10.8 and then you'll see a RWD drag car trap like 123mph and run a 10.8.
The difference is the fwd turbo car can't hook as well as the rwd drag car.
Hope that explained it.

I would he have to lie about 3108 with drive, my car with full interior, space, jack and etc was around the same n/a and it's a 4gen so a gutted 6gen I can believe
Now if he should 2800lbs with driver thats a different story
One thing I will add be care not to make the front end too light as it will start to effect traction. You can continue with weight reduction but you may need to shift the weight around towards the front alittle

Yeah, the car already spins a little more, I'm not taking out anymore weight though.
I got the 15" skinnies mounted on the rear. 40lbs lighter than the stock rear wheels and tires.
Also, I got some rubber spring boosters to try in the rear this time. Hope they make a difference.

Lets just say the car is fully gutted. I don't want to type out all of the crap I have taken out. lol
I don't think I could get to 2800lbs with driver unless I started cutting the car and swapped the glass for lexan. I am definitely not gonna go that far either. lol
Yeah, the car already spins a little more, so if I remover weight it will be from the rear.

Lower the front-end and lift the rear. I bet you could use some spring spacers to bring the back end up a tad if necessary. With some limiting straps up front and helper bags (the ones from the Murano fit, I run them on my Altima) you should have a golden setup. That way the front end wont lift, the rear end wont squat and even with MORE weight reduction the rake will put more weight on the front tires.
My setup if interested is:
6th gen Maxima springs in the rear (they're actually a little bit taller in comparison to the Altima spring and spring rate a bit firmer)
Helper Bags for Murano
KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks
Racingline Springs up front
And I'm currently working on a means of mounting limiting straps up front. Overall the setup is firm! The rear end doesn't squat. But the front end lift on the 120 shot is insane. You could easily pick up a used set of front springs and cut them to whatever height you feel is best.

Yes sir!
So use a pile of rubber spacers on your front springs.... like me.
If the car is already up on its tippy-toes, it won't go any higher.I tie-wrapped each one to the spring - so you don't spit one out at the track. I actually have Tokico Illuminas front and rear, and when I use rubbers on the springs, the car is about at the stock height but moves very little at launch.
Extra bonus - they're easy to remove later....... Hmmm.. you strip your car down and use rubbers on it. What part of California are you from???

Also, that's the only way to treat a car. That's how us Californians do it!
found these on djsafety.com. I would maybe weld in some studs and have a washer and cotter pin setup to hold it on.
