dang dude! you just keep on getting lower and lower e.t.'s! you're giving some respect to the VE auto.
with some some tranny work (vb mod, and tc) and exhaust, you should be in the 14's. did you do anything different on this run? and are you torque braking off the line?

yeeeeeeeeeeesssssss!
VE autos kick ***.. we CAN cut it. You are an inspiration my friend, I feel good about my car now, even though I know it's probably in the high 16s in this condition, but just knowing how good it can be makes me smile 
Keep modding that thing, we have to see the full potential of a N/A VE auto

I am trying to get a hook up on the PR CAI since I have some $hitty JWT Poop charger.
I want 14's I will get them!!!

i got that number from don in texas' vb mod that can reportedly take .5 off your e.t. along with protorque's tc, which quoted me many times, at least .6 off your e.t. .5 + .6 = 1.1 seconds. 15.9 - 1.1 = 14.8 thats where i got my numbers from. give or take a tenth or two. the tc will help getting off the line tremendously, that wont be an issue. and the vb mod will also help tremendously. i'd say .5 off your e.t. with the vb mod doesnt sound too far off. the vb mod is good for at least .3 probably more. he could always add a upd, ecu, y-pipe, cai, etc. 15.9 is an excellent time considering everyone has the VE auto listed at 16.7 in the 1/4 mile. either way the VE auto is very capable to get into the 14's, believe it or not.

On the top of that timeslip it will say: To the doubters, let it be known. The true unadulterated power of the VE!
I know that my car is an auto, it's a four door, and I am pretty sure that all of us know that the Maxima is not meant to be a sports car... but... this is my goal, and never underestimate a goal. I will be in the 14's.
Thanks for letting me vent. I am going to surprise you Dave.
Congratulations,I am an auto too.I remember when you were at 16.1 now 15.8 keep on going man you can be into the 14's in no time.You still have a bunch of bolt ons you can do.I really need to get my as* out to teh track and see what I can do.

No problem dude,I know how hated auto's are on the boards.But they really ought to be respected man.You know an auto is only around a sec. off from a 5 speed.Which is OK considering the cruising factor! You are cruisin you dont have to shift and your hand is free all of the time so you can keep it on the chick in the passenger seats thigh Plus throw a Torque Converter on and you really are almost right up there with a 5 speed.

The VB and TC won't give a 1.1 second drop in et. A torque converter is a torque multiplier. The "loosest" converter you can get will be about a 2800 rpm stall. Any looser then you car will be very sluggish around town and going up hills. The TC advantage is only apparent at WOT from a stop. It doesn't out perform the 5 speed. The 5 speed can be launched and modulated at any rpm. The auto is still limited to the TC. All the VB does is firm up the shifts. It won't lower et .3 of a second. READ the "up to" part of the ad. In a 1/4 mile race, your car is only shifting once. I doubt the 1-2 shift lasts that long.

the 1-2 shift in an auto VE is very very long and sluggish. i truly do think the vb mod will take off that much on the time. exactly: "The TC advantage is only apparent at WOT from a stop." thats all we need it for, to get off the line, to put us in 5spd territory. off the line who's to say it wont outperform the 5spd? i dont think any VE auto guys have a higher stall TC, so nobody can say for sure. if we get the right stall speed, it will give us an excellent launch, while the 5spd guys are losing traction and getting wheel hop. i'm sure the VB will lower e.t. .3 of a second probably more. i dont know if you're familiar with the tranny resistor under the hood of the VE auto? well, unplugging this this resistor gives the tranny more line pressure, about 20 psi more. similar to what the VB mod does. this isnt that safe, however, but, i tested doing this and consistantly took .2 off my 0-60 time! now, the VB mod will give even more line pressure than that, and if that little test took .2 off my 0-60 time, i'm sure the VB mod will take off more than .3 of my 1/4 mile. i understand the torque and hp advantage of the VQ, its a darn good engine. but we have VE auto's, and that's what we're gonna work with, and we will hit 14's.
i'm not trying to flame you dave, just telling my opinion. if we cant be optimistic then what are we working towards? keep it up dirk

Everytime I go to the track, I have beaten my previous personal record. But, I won't go to a track unless I seriously think I am faster. Cause this time when I went to Fayetteville Drag Strip, i had to same mods, but I cleaned my TB and it started idling smoother. Plus, it was a stickier track, so I knew there was a chance that I could beat my record. I won't go back to the strip until I get a new mod or it gets below 50 degrees.

Well you really need to go CAI then, you'll gain some more low end over the HAI. The difference is pretty darn noticeable. To be honest I felt the CAI more then I felt the Y-pipe. I mean you can really feel it. Mostly on the bottom end, and then right after it shifts into second, it doesnt have that drop in power and just continues to pull and pull.
Probably drop another tenth or two as well.
It's really worth $150 or so! Annnnd believe it or not but a good suspension setup will help you drop some time too...

The mods that I am thinking about still doing in the future are: CAI, catback, VB mod, springs and struts, and light wheels with 205/50R15 drag radials just for the drag strip. I might add a high stall torque converter also. That should be 14's easy, especially with colder weather.
I ran my 15.44 with 70 degree weather.

I dont want to start any modifications when im not running the best i can stock. And I have no VTC trouble, all oil changes done on time, tune ups, new gas filter, TB cleaning, all well maintained; I even put in some fuel system cleaner still no luck

good info here, but the one thing i have always wondered is why autos always seem to b slower than mine (stock) as i ran a 15.9 here in florida, or maybe that has something to do with it cause florida is as close to sea level as you're gonna get. i did advance my timing, but it didnt help really...but the main thing i did was move the throttle position sensor. it was by accident at first, but now every time i go to the track i more it back up so the car idles high and shifts late. i ran once in "pu$$y mode" as i call it and ran mid 16's...so maybe all the autos should move their tps? of course this is only for racing b/c if u try shifting from park to drive, ect to car really eats itself

But I dont think ideally adjusting the tps will help, b/c it will affect the air/fuel mix and you'll make the mix too lean, and then there will be pre-ignition.
back in nov. of 01, I ran a 16.3, since then I've done a ton of tune up work and I know there is a big difference since then. I hope to hit the track in the next two weeks. Also the y and udp will be installed in the comming weeks. So I'm looking forward to low 15's

ummm....ya. why else would I be posting in this thread
I'll be getting the proto type udp from UR this week. I'm looking forward to it. I wish they would let me install it myself, b/c they are a bit incompetant with basic stuff like properly tightening belts. I told the guy, and I said I hoped he didnt overtighten the pulley bolt (I bet he did) as well.
