You killed the clutch. Otherwise with a better launch you are in the 15.1-15.3 range with a 2.1-2.2x 60ft. Next time try these shift points 1-2 @ 6700rpm, 2-3 @ 6500rpm and finish 1/4 in 3rd gear.

Ok, I had my first runs tonight since I ran a at maxus. I think I didnt do too bad for a stock VG (all I have is a JWT HAI). Here's the slip...

I had no traction from the start because my tires are pretty much roasted. I could definitely feel the lack of high end in my car, but I still think I had a decent run.

*edit, by the way... I raced a 98+ Firebird on that run

You sir have a chance to run 15.9-16.3s if you were able to drop the 60' to 2.0-2.2. Get some 205/50-15 tires on 2 extra wheels from a junkyard.

I went to Long Island MotorSport on the first fri that it opened up.. Well since there was very little drivers running (about 13-14) and test and tune, i got 19 runs....

Here is my best run..
I did this running my stock rims/tires. The front was set @ 25 psi and the rear was set @ 30 psi. I have a Pure stock Maxima except for a fstb, and a whole lot of crap in the trunk... including the spare and alteast 20 extra pounds

There 330ft, 660 ft, 990 ft were not working

yeah SLC told me some of the other guys(not in our club) were even running .5-.7 seconds off their normal last Friday and you could see the launching lanes looked horrible! about a month or two ago I was cutting a 16.24(a few weeks after the 16.29)last friday stricly 16.4's and a high 16.3 off my two runs...next mod will definently be the 205/50/15s and maybe the UDP. I've been practicing some launching points too, on a 1200rpm launch I can consistenly hit ~2.35 60fts. I figure it'll be even better whe I get some better tires(mine are terribly bald!! )

we'll see, I got some other little DIY mods and maintenence brewing too, I'll be back at the track in another month or so hopefully with those new tires too!

Maximajism94se

this is my very first run at the track today, i was ok w/ it cause i just wanted to get in the 15's...im an automatic so thats why its a little slow but i could maybe get faster cause my tranny is shifting weird and my throttle is all messed up 2 cause i replaced my valve cover gasket and screwed up some stuff in the process

well another day at the racetrack. my car is an official piece of garbage now. although i did win 4th, 3 rd place made it to the qrter finals. BUT my first burnout i heard some knock in the engine, after that my car kept on idling at 3000 rpm to 2000. and i hear some pistons knocking which might be it. because my car ran like **** or it could be that i havent done a tune up in like 3 years. so as soon as i took off and once my car went to 3000rpm it kept dropping to lower rpm range but only in first gear. which slowed me down like hell. BUT i am proud of my reaction time which was almost .5-.6 all the time. but the 1/4 mile sucked, i dont even wanna discuss that. put it this way my best one was 16.01. which compared to what i usually run in high 15's this sucked, and my car sucks now. good thing im getting rid of the this damn slow *** car. I mean most cars at the track in the same bracket run very low 15's and thats mostly stock hondas with maybe exhaust and filter. my maxima was liek the slowest car out there. still won a trophy, because the other idiots just dont know how to race in bracket racing. but ive seen a crx with a D16 complete exhaust and thats it do a 15.1 imagine with a turbo or something. make the story short the 3rd gen is way too slow for our days now, unless ur running turbo vg30.

really weird i put on a straight pipe again and changed a fuel filter ran 15.79@88.2 this weekend.

just ran a 15.4 with my mods and taken some heavy things out

flyry110

went tonight, i'm a bit disappointed with what i was runnin. first off, i'll give the conditions and setup and you guys can critique if you want.

weather: the high was 51 degrees, drizzle on and off, cloudy and overcast, windy

Car setup: trunk empty, 205 55 15" dunlop SP5000's up front, my 17's in the rear (i was too lazy to switch all of them) i had about 25lbs in the tires up front.

ok my times:

ok now i'm bracket racing. oh, i made it down to the semifinals. there were 4 cars left! and i redlighted my last run!!! GRRRRRRRR I dialed in a 14.8 the track was slower than earlier too. I don't know why, but everyone was adjusting their dial in times.

i think i can squeeze .1 or .2 out of the car still. I didn't really have any GREAT runs. with the tires up front being so short, i have to shift into 4th. it really hurts. anyway, i'll try again when conditions are a little better. . .

Here are the numbers:

1/8 10.024
MPH 71.900
1000' 12.892
1/4 15.506
MPH 88.997

I have never had my 60' time this low. My previous best 60' was a 2.42. I advanced my timing and it shaved about .23 off my previous best. I was really happy to see these kind of numbers come from my car. All the stuff I have done to my car are: APC cone filter, WSP Mandrel Y-pipe with stock exhaust, ASP UDP, and Advanced Timing. That's it, the trunk and car were empty. I had the spare tire in. I don't think it makes that much of a difference. Who knows, maybe I would have run 7 thousandths better and had a 15.49. I wish! The outside temperature was about 55-60 degrees tonight. It was pretty cool with calm winds.

Yeah I know, here it goes. I finally broke into the 15's!!!!!!!! Just got back from the track tonight and I am very happy with my times. Started around 5:30 and it was very hot out but as the night cooled down my times got much better. Here are my last 2 time slips.

Well, in a nutshell, I suck. The best I could manage is 16.964. Out of 6 runs, I broke into the 16 second barrier once. Yes, thats rights folks once. I don't feel like posting all 6 time slips right now. Anyways, I'll do a best time slipe

Best 1/8 10.096
Best 1/4 16.964
Best MPH 80.50

I'm assuming that I'm getting such crappy times is because of 60' foot correct? I tried just about everything, air pressure, manually shifting, brake torque, flash stall, everything. I removed about 100 pounds from my car too. So do I just suck as a driver? or is something wrong with my car? Usually, y pipe and intake will result in at least a 16.5. Somebody help me

Cincy94Max

I got a 16.346 stock with a 2.388 60' on really crappy tires. Try getting a tune up. Not only is your time really slow, your trap speeds are also really low. Did you advance your timing to 20 degrees and run premium gas? What tire pressures did you use? Something isn't right and I'd love to help you find it.

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

Timing is stock. I just run 87. I started out with 32 psi in all the tires, then dropped to 30, and then 25. I got my best 60' foot with the 32. I dont really know when the last tune up I had was. I bet that the stock spark plugs are still in there too. I'm gonna mow a couple yards and then replace the oil filter, fuel filter, and put in NGK Platinum 4 plugs with 8mm wires,and I should probably replace that cone filter, because it's only 15 bucks. Anything else you could think of? I'm gonna go again this Friday and see if this helps, and if it doesn't, could it be an o2 sensor?

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

yeah, I've got a VG. I had just read somewhere that these were the best for our cars. Should I just go with OEM ones? Really, I just want to break outta the 17s I was so mad. I went to the track and was expectign low 16s, instead, I got one 16.964 and 4 17+ runs and one 18.

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

my fault, my best 1/8 was a 10.906, not a 10.096

DA-MAX

iTrader: (10)

as far as I know the plats are for the VEs and the regulars are for us, plus they cost tons less than the plats!!

and how long have you had your Y-pipe on??? if you just got it put on, the ECU needs time to adjust at least 200 miles I've heard before you'll feel the FULL improvement!

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

It's been on for about two or three months. I still don't get what is wrong with my car. I know that my 60' ft. sucks, but still, should I be trapping as low as 79.16? I plan on doing a full tune up and possibly going with a CAI instead of my homemade popcharger. For sure, I'm bumping my timing to 19 degrees and running some premium next time I go. I might go with an UDP too if that could help any. Can you think of anything else that could be wrong? If I do all this and I dont at least get a 16.5, I'm not gonna be too happy. If all else fails, I'm getting some nitrous, hehe.

Would my new wheels and tires have anything to do with this? I'm running 215/55/16s right now because they were already on the wheels.

DA-MAX

iTrader: (10)

yeah go for the tuneup!!! but other than that, I don't know what to say man??? I was running a 16.23 after I got my y-pipe...

also do you have any idea what altitude your track is at?? I remember Aaron92se(VE auto) used to run a mid/high 16's with intake and Y on a very high alitude track, but when he got to a track with a lower altitude he was running mid/high 15's all day!

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

I have no idea what the altitude is, but I'm in Texas. I know something is wrong because there was a stock VG auto there bracket racing and he was dialed in and hitting 17.03. I remember saying that I could beat that easily, and then I go out and barely get in the 16s once.

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

well, my 60 ft.s were all 2.5. I kept the pressure at 32 in the front and back, then 30 in the front and 32 in the back, and then 26 in the front and 32 in the back. I guess I'll try 22 and 40-44 in the back next time. I guess it's time for a tune up anyways because I think the car has still got it's original spark plugs.

Coolice19

How many miles on your car KlownPr109??
That time is pretty bad I ran a best of 16.5 with just a cone intake and a muffler but my car has only 77,000 miles on it, its a 93 gxe. Im also running 16 inch wheels with 205/55 tires. Try advance timing it helped me gain .2-.3 tenths. Plus use good gas at the track. My 60ft times were between 2.4 and 2.5.

KLoWnPR109

iTrader: (9)

My car just hit 90,000. I don't think it's ever had a full tune up though. I plan on cleaning the throttle body too because I'm sure it's pretty dirty inside. After I get that done, I'm going to most likely advance my timing and run premium. I've got 16s with almost new 215/55/16s. This summer, I'm probably getting a WSP CAI, UDP, hi-flow cat, and a catback exhaust.

Nismo87SE

Correction this is when a goal is reached. From here on he can either be happy where he is or go faster. Other than factory turbo cars, not many sedans can knock nearly 1 sec off of their stock times. He is only a couple suspension/tranny mods away from running mid 15's all day long. After that come either boost or n2o. But you do have a point it is slow. I guess that is why one buys a newer car to spend more to get simular performance gains.

Maximum5spd

Ok. BUT the last 3 month i have been to the track the only cars that were running 16 and 15 was my max and few other stock civics, most cars, are into mid 14's these days. So unless your thinking 15 sec is fast. then its ok.

FFxI30

iTrader: (2)

I don't have a damn thing to do at work so I went through all the 1/4-mile times and made a little spreadsheet. I probably don't have all the mods right but I did the best that I could without stalking each of you and your cars. Hope someone uses this.

Went to the track yesterday for test and tune and had some good runs with other Auto cars. I must say that the auto vg is not bad for an auto car. I beat a 2000 celica gt auto and an 98 eclipse rs auto. My new best time was a 16.43 with custom pop and a muffler plus timing advance. I know my car is not fast but at least I can beat my friends cars

Sorry buddy! While I'm here, here is my timeslip from that last time I went to the Kinston Drag Strip in NC. I had some slight traction problems. I'm going to another track on June 20th. There might be a chance that I can beat my previous best b/c this track is known for their sticky lanes.
