How Can I get quicker Acceleration
Re: How Can I get quicker Acceleration
Buy some light weight 15in wheels and put 205/50-15 tires on them.

Oh, and definately by a GT-R badge... It'll trick your car into thinking it's a "real" sportscar so it'll push itself to its limits! You know how much fun it is to drive a fast car, well, so does your Max!
!IBTL!

to many flames!! this forum is on fire!!!!!!!!
You want a serious answer?
1) DO NOT USE NITRUS!!!!!!!! Unless you have enough money to rebuld or replace your entire engine every time you race then nitrus will only make things worse. Nitrus in an engine is like having a jelly filled donut with a grenade in it.
2) If you drive the car every day and need it for transportation then just leave it alone. It's not worth being without a car because you messed up modding it.
3) an underdrive pulley, High flow (no not loud just high flow) exhaust, lighter wheels, and reduction in body weight are all good for "off the line" help. Some may suggest a cold air intake, but I have yet to see any real proof that this improves engine power or torque significantly. Forced induction is too expensive, and when done wrong will destroy the engine.
4) use good gas. Higher octane rated gasolene will improve the cars performance a lot if you use low octane now.
5) (This is the best one) Buy a fast car. Let's face it. The 3'rd gen is not fast, and it's not supposed to be fast.
6) only race against v6 mustangs.
I hope that helps.

Well Thankx. You can make that car fast it comes stock wit 190 hp what car in that year came wit stock 190. You will only find that kind of hp in the newer cars. I can get a Venom 400 if I please i mean you can make a car fast. You just need to know what to get and thats what I am doing.
Simple instuctions follow..
1. jack up Max on 4 jackstands
2. Remove entire undercarraige
3. roll C5 chassis underneath.
4. Lower Max body back down
5. Secure to chassis.
6. Hold ON TIGHT!

Oh, and for everyone who says 3rd gens can't go fast... Just wait... All you're doing is giving me the fodder that I want
well. you can make the 3rd gen faster. but bolt-ons alone will not be very impressive. but torque and speed can be done. i am surprised nobody mentioned swapping the flywheel for an aluminum one - a rather off-the-shelf mod. with that, the powerband will be in your face much quicker. especially if you upgrade the clutch to Exedy stage one or something like that.
if you have an extra car and a few thousand bucks, park the maxima and tear down the engine and have internal work done to it. even non-turbo internal mods will dramatically change the performance: a bored out block, cast eutectic pistons, 3-angle valve job, professionally ported (with a flow-bench) heads (polishing is rather useless), even changing the piston rings themselves to moly or ceramic will up the torque, and certainly the entire powerband. you will spend about 12 thousand bucks to do all of this, but who cares if you don't want to sell it?

i have a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. retail it is like 400. i got it from a group sale for i think 260. it is maybe 11 pounds. very light. well. light enough to make a positive difference but not too light. it simply makes the engine's job easier. the cast iron stock one is a heavy mo fo. and is a son of a b to get going from a dead start. energy is wasted in the transfer from the crank to the flywheel to the wheels to the road anyway, so why help this energy get lost any more?
the lighter flywheel, as well, does not drop the rpms like a stone between shifts, thus keeping you in the powerband. and because it takes less effort to get it turning, in-town gas mileage improves a little.
for you, an auto, try a lightweight underdrive pulley, ie, the crank pulley. same idea, different moving part. i don't have that yet. the rule of thumb i have picked up is "the closer you are to the crank, the more effective the mod."
