I took my 2007 Maxima SL to Atco Raceway this past Saturday, thought I'd share my best time.

R/T........313
60'.........2.142
330........6.125
1/8........9.373
MPH.......74.54
1000......12.236
1/4........14.662
MPH.......92.35

Mods are in my sig. I went with full interior, factory SL wheels on Hankook Ventus.

 

Nice times! Trap seems low though

 

traps are a tad low but it could just be on that pass... 93-94 is more like it

 

thanks. Actually all of my traps have been 92mph....

 

hmm... i guess... times seems about right, i guess thats what 6th gens trap (which i thought wouldve been a lil bit higher)

 

Maybe cuz it's a CVT?

 

I'm not disagreeing with you...i think its pretty low too.

 

Nice 60ft and ET! Maybe the calibration was off with the track equipment. The trap speed just doesn't make sense. You only gained 18MPH from the 1/8th to the 1/4 mile.

 

I only gained 19mph from the 1/8th to 1/4..

 

E/T is good but as everyone else says, the trap speed is low... Maybe the Cvvt has something to do with it..

 

Must be due to the torquey nature of the VQ engine. I gained 21MPH from the 1/8th to the 1/4 mile.

 

...or the fact that I am stock, lol

 

...

not a bad launch

that could be the reason for a low mph

but the times aboutt right for it

 

daim it just dies after the 1/8 mile

 

how many miles you got on it ?



sounds like a restriction in exhaust killing that top end

 

26k on the car, and like 1k on the exhaust.

 

Huh ...

well thats def not the issue


hmm

we'll have to compare it with other CVT transmissions then i guess ...

 

NIce nicee!!! you should try now without seats, nor spare tire!!!

 

Interesting. I wonder what I would run if I had such a good launch. I gain about 21mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4 mile mark.

 

Nice times hoping to hit a 1/4 mile track soon in Temecula,CA since they dont require helmets and all that...

 

Trap is low because it's a CVT. Not sure if it's the same for all CVTs or not but in the newer Maximas they just don't pull for crap after 80mph or so. I'm also amazed you got such a good 60 foot time with it.

 

60' was really nice, not best but very good... track musta been hoking that day

 

yeah his 60' is good, but his speed isnt, he should be trapping 95mph no problem

 

thanks. yea, not sure why I can't get over 92+mph.

 

like with the intake alone u should have been into the mid 90s the fact you go an intake and exhaust u should be there pretty good, was the car heat soaked at all?

did you do muit-runs ?

 

I made 3 passes that day. all were at 91-92.

 

wow, what u should look into is getting the timing advanced, ur car should def be trapping high man ...

 

There's a lot of possibilities, but honestly without a weight for your car and a dyno graph with similar weather conditions as to when you ran, its hard to start pinpointing why you're not trapping as well.

 

I'm still wondering how a CVT is dyno'd consistently.

 

Nissan- please take out the sluggish CVT PLEASEEeeeeeeeeee

 

Where is this drag strip in temecula?

 

CVT=Cruel Vandalized Topend

 

AFAIK, I was the first person on here to run an '07 Max. I got the car back in 06 and ran it after I put 1k miles on it. I wasn't happy when the best time I could get was only a 15.2 the first time out. After a few trips to the track, I tried different methods of launching, and shifting , to get the times down. I achieved my fastest times by using this method. Launch with the car in drive, once the car gets up to around 70 mph, shift it over to the manual mode. Do not shift it manually! Let the car shift by itself in the manual mode. Using this method, I was able to pick up 2 mph...consistently, and my times dropped down to 14.5s. I posted my findings here a few years ago, and others who have tried it, found that it worked for them also. The car was and still is stock.

 

There isn't one, got confirmation from the Wizard, only thong is Cali Speedway...

 

nice times...

 

Very nice times!
