When do you plan on doing the cam install/dyno? Any idea on the next track date as well?
Hoping for the third weekend in march for cam install. Dyno may wait a bit depending on when I get the V-manage. Will try my hardest to hit the track again before it gets too hot out, but worst case scenario I have the whole summer to get the car ready for low 12s in the fall.Originally Posted by Sonnick

LOL, I see. That was all extra stuff. I bought enough stuff for a couple different setups, Picked one and offered the rest for sale. My car is on the road now.
Just found another video on youtube.

I think this was my favorite part, I thought all the extra resonator stopped the flames it used to throw sometimes.

James quite few people came up to me at the track and when discussing my car, several of them mentioned a black maxima tearing around town all the time sounding a little like mine. Now we know what's been happening to all those transmissions... Originally Posted by KiNgJaMEs

The guy who made this hilarious video even said he saw a black max that was beating 350zs.

I agree, have eaten quite a few of them, even fully bolted. Guess it's the extra drivetrain loss and weight, but they sure don't pull the same numbers that the maxima can with similar boltons.Originally Posted by ajcool2

My comment was more of an inside joke at James about a certain Z he raced.

2-3 takes time to master because it's not a straight direction, but 1-2 is a b*tch and a half when you're all the way in the gas and trying to shift it fast.Originally Posted by Grand_hustle17

I found the best way to make the 2-3 shift is to use the centering device of the shifter and push forward. I also found to just use the palm of your hand. Don't use your thumb on the shifter, because that is what causes the shifter to move in another direction rather than where you want to go.
Works for me, worked for my friends too.
I honestly don't think the 1-2 shift is hard at all.

Maybe it's a less violent shift in your car, but with mine on 145k mile stock suspension and probably a lot more power, the whole car is bucking and my transmission hates being forced into second gear really fast. It's also the most violent shift for the drive train to handle when you're flat footing it.Originally Posted by krazy6

I'll definitely agree with you on that. Seems like the car sheds a tear everytime I power shift 2nd. Originally Posted by sparks03max

Sure does, that's why I do it only at the track. Not that I would ever get traction on street tires shifting like that into second anyway.Originally Posted by krazy6

Powershifting is so much fun. The last few weeks I've done it a few times just for the thrill. Although I'm getting a new clutch, I've since stopped because it's clear the clutch is not the real victim...
