Here are my numbers:

2.417 60'
6.591 330'
10.006 1/8
72.46 mph
15.441 1/4
89.67 mph

I ran this last night at the meet in Fayetteville, NC. My previous personal best was a 15.50. And I have the same mods, it was a different track than last time and about 10 degrees hotter. And about a 5mph tailwind. Mods are: HAI, Y, UDP, adv timing.

 

Holy shiet you ran those times at Houston raceway park . I think I know why they are so high. Did you drive around the waterbox or do a burnout on your street tires? If not that explains the 2.57 60ft. Also try manually shifting so the car shifts right at 6000-6100rpm. Since I'm in h-town next time you want to hit the strip drop me an email, I can help you into the 16s LOL. If it makes you feel better my 87 maxima with a K&N panel filter ran a 17.2 @ 78.5 with a 2.51 60'. However CAI equipped ran a 16.7 @ 81mph .

 

R/T .818
60' 2.412
1/8 10.719
MPH 65.91

1/4 16.852
MPH 81.25

I'm completely done modding this car.

 

i had a 92 se auto (ve30de) before my 98 maxima.
mods included:
*Custome Y-Pipe (before cattman & stillen came out with it)
*jwt pop charger
*jwt ecu
*jwt nos system w/.42 jet & piggy back nitrous module (65shot)
*trust exhaust
*built tranny valve body modded/high stall torque converter chirped 2nd gear
*JG port polished head w/ 5angle valve job

My best time without the head work was 14.1 @ 99mph

with the headwork 13.89@101mph

stock wheels w/ general tires, no passenger seat,spare or jack

reason i dont own the car today, i replaced the tranny 5 times.
couldnt hold the power even built.

 

I went back to the track a couple weeks ago, and got a 16.8 at 81.25. Better than my 16.9, but still disappointing. After I get my suspension done, I'm gonna go one last time except I will put my stock wheels back on.

I'm pretty sure the hot weather is contributing to my slowness. Everytime I have gone, the humidity has been bad. One night, I started sweating just standing there. Maybe I will hit low 16s during winter?

 

16.5 at 84

 

hmm.. how come i got 16.56 and ran 81.772 ??? am i missing some thing.. are you slipping or something? b/c with that speed you should be running close to low 16

 

I don't really know. I've got a y pipe and hybrid intake right now, and was running the stock wheels and tires. I know I can get low 16s once the weather gets below like 85 and the humidity goes down.

Anyways, here is my slip:

RT .770
60' 2.431
1/8 10.639
MPH 66.84
1/4 16.520
MPH 83.79

So technically, I got 83.79, but that is still like 2 mph faster.

 

went back to the track lat night w/ my stere removed....ran sooo much beter than my 17.0 last week end. My car weighed in at 3009 lbs. The only diff was new tires and last some weight and ran a.....

rt: .595
60: 2.479
300: 6.936
1/8: 10.693
mph: 66.02
1000: 13.922
1/4: 16.507
mph: 80.32

much better times than before...17.050 w/ stereo!!!!!

 

i'm sorry....82.32 was the trap speed. Looking at too many slips at one time

 

i finally ran my 89 gxe at our local track, granted, my disgusting tires obviously made a huge effect on my time, so hopefully, when i get some new rubber for it, i'll be able to post better times. this was ran yesterday, outside temp was around high 50's, not sure on humidity, also, had 1/4 tank gas, full interior, and the stillen intake off of my 98 gxe, other than that, there's a cheap fstb.

here's my best timeslip times (our track is only 1/8 mile)

.751 R/T
2.462 60 ft
11.279 1/8 et
61.72 1/8 mph

almost every other timeslip was this

.574 R/T
2.671 60 ft
11.784 1/8 et
60.32 1/8 mph

i managed to get one good launch on the tires and the rest of them were like the second one. nonetheless, the 11.2 is still crappy. i'm gonna do some work to further get it running better since it's got 250k miles and probably put a wsp Y and test pipe on it over the winter, i'd at least like to get mid 10's out of the beast like the rest of you!!

 

I ran my 93 SE automatic. The only modification is a K&N filter. Its an automatic with 130+ miles nothing was removed from the car I think I even had a my daughters car seat in it. Here are my times.

I am working on my 60' and (hoping and i mean hoping) that if i get that down to around 2.1 i will get the 13's. So i love to post this since all i ever read about (from VE owners) is that VG autos are the slowest cars to roam the planet. You guys can just kiss my tail.

 

I ran my car at Kinston Drag Strip in eastern NC on 11/14/02.

It was about 50 degrees. The elevation is 47 feet. And the track was freakin slippery. I was slowed down when 2nd gear engaged due to loss of traction.

Here are my numbers:

R/T .696
60' 2.325 (My best 60' ever) Previous best: 2.39
330' 6.478
1/8 9.875@72.606mph
1/4 15.324@89.762

My mods:

APC cone filter w/ removed resonator
WSP Y-pipe
ASP UDP
Maximum Tuning VB w/ cooler
Timing set to 25* BTDC
Removed AC belt
Front tires set to 22 psi.
Rears set to 38 psi.

 

i ran the 1/4 in my 92 se 5 speed satnight with my gtech on the highway for the first time and ran 15.1 at 97mph i was wondering since i did a huge burnout if i should be in the high 14s with less wheelspin cause i also did 2 0 to 60 and first dropped the cluch at 5000 and ran 6.31 and then droped at 2500 and ran a 6.14 whad ya think for stock ve is this pretty good i would take it to the track but the track is closed thanks

 

I ran today at Fayetteville Motorsports Park in NC. Air temp was about 65 degrees. Here are the numbers:

RT .433
60 2.3350
330 6.4364
1/8 9.8215 @ 72.99 mph
1000 12.7363
1/4 15.2380 @ 89.94 mph

Tire pressure was 25 psi front. The track had awesome traction. I could BARELY get a chirp out my wheels with a hard torque brake.

Same mods as above except for my timing was lowered back to 20* BTDC and I was at a better track.

 

track was in bithlow, fl...orlando speedworld dragway

15.673@88.33mph
60 2.367
330 6.664
1/8 10.144@71.14
1000 13.127

ive done a few no cost mods (no spare or spoiler and misc parts cause im painting the car, advanced timing, tps adjustment) plus a drop in k&n filter...flash torqued to 2k rpm or so

 

i finally went to the track and got a best time of 16.487 @ 82.86 mph. that just happened to be my first run out of the 10 and my first run ever in my maxima.

 

This will be my car's first time to the track. I ran my 1991 SE 5spd a year ago and got 16.57 stock.

Now with a VE 5spd, I was hoping to do a little bit better, but didnt expect much.

Mods-
Hot Air Intake
Hi-flo Cat
5th gen muffler

Problems-
Some broken tranny bearings
Slipping clutch
worn struts/springs

Im thinking that my times will be slower than stock because of those things and the fact that the track is in NH with high elevation I believe. I am mainly going to run the car because I want to see before and after times. I am putting in a new Tranny, and Exedy Stage I clutch by the end of the month. I will run once again after the mods.

The water box screwed me up real badly and I was only able to get 2 runs in. 15.96 @ 86mph and 16.09 @ 87mph. Bad times for a VE 5spd I know, but my post above explains a lot. My 60' were terrible (2.4 and 2.7), but then again so was everyone else's. My clutch slipped through 1-2 and 2-3. It was like I was driving a VG auto.

 

16.6 on the maxima,i know this will have people rolling but maximas are useless dragracing unless your turbod,supercharged or spraying by the gallon
wanna go fast get a fast car with heavy aftermarket support

 

14.8 in what is now james' max . . . but it was also 85 degrees and HORRIBLY humid

 

i'll keep it simple I did two runs

1st run 17.152

2nd run 17.000


MODS... warpspeed y-pipe, G-reddy cat-bak


also with broken exhaust manifold studs

 

Just did two runs, here are the results:

#1) 15.42
#2) 15.719

VE 5-spd w/cattman CAI

 

Ok well I finally ran my ve for the first time. Here is the result. Conditions. Night time from 8-9:30pm. Stuck in traffic for 1 hour bumper to bumper but moving 15 mph, for 15 miles on the nj turnpike to the drag strip. Got no traction , and stock clutch was slipping badly as i redlined the gears to 6500rpms. and 4th gear suck for pulling but i was forced to shift to 4th before hitting the line at the end like 50 ft or so.

Water all over the track, all around the water box, forced to drive on the side where its was all dirty and wet

mods are listed in my sig. Yes i took out my subs, other than that i had a tool box, cd's, leather power seats, spare, jack, crappy tires.


First run was terrible. I got water on my tires via its all over the track. we both had wet tires and junk on tires, unaware until i lined up. Dumped the clutch at 5500rpms. 30 psi front. we both spun out crazy. Spun out at the line didnt go any where and redlined 1st to 35 mph, shifted quickly to 2nd and then rpms just dropped as i got traction, buckled at 35 mph and was off and got traction, udp reved quickly and my rpms just went up fast, shifted into 3rd and was catching up to the jeep. Readlined third i passsed him, shifted to 4th by the time i got to the line and beat him.

I won 1st and last race. I think I fu(ked up my clutch even more today at the Rhode Island Meet here in the NE section after doing some highway runs. my clutch is gone, my rotors and pads are gone, metal on metal braking.

here is a pic of my weight at the track
With me

With out me but still junk in the maxima

 

OK guys i am tired, i went through the threads and made up a speadsheet.. its all from scratch and took me about 1 1/2 hour.. i am tired here it is

have fun now i am gonna go to sleep

 

16.578 @ 83.809. only mod is a pop charger.

 

Ok, local track here (well, a town 5 min away from here) sucks (no official timer, timer is a guy with a stopwatch watching lights go on and off), so I wouldn't count on my results being dead accurate..


my '92 VG auto ran a 17.3 1/4, and a top end run clocked at 142 +/- 6mph (with my ghetto ram-air)

For the 1/4, I left my stock exhuast fully intact, but for the top end run, I unbolted the y-pipe at the manifold (this is not a good idea for street driving..sounds like a ricer on steroids)..

My first competition run was vs a Ford Probe, who burned his clutch out completely on the starting line (win by default)

2nd race was vs an '87 chevy s-10 v-8 swap w/ a 406..I got smoked by 12 car lengths

3rd race was against a stock '99 eclipse that was 1/3 of a car length ahead at the tape

final race was against a '96 v6 Camaro auto. I won by 2 car lengths because of the lack of driving skills of the competition.

All competition races were done on a 1 mile run track with 3 miles of drop off track.

I removed my passenger seat, subs, spare, "thing in the trunk", back seat, jack, console, door threshholds, pillar trim, half the dash, kickpanels, and floormats.

Keep in mind, this track is made of an old 2 lane road that flooded frequently, so it was closed and bypassed..the surface is less than perfect..my 1/4 time could be off by up to 1 second because of the lousy timing system (explained above)

Oh, all of this was done in early November, I just now got around to posting it..

 

15.5 @ 91 mph - 93 VE - 5 speed

Conservatve Driving (Granny Shifting - brand new Clutch, so had to take it easy).- Trunk Full of Heavy s***)

Timing set to 27 degrees with estimated 97 octane fuel in tank

 

I made 3 runs at Moroso Motorsports Part in Palm Beach, FL last week. They weren't as good as what I wanted. Everything is still stock so I'm going to run it a few more times to make sure that she's consistent and then i'll start making changes.

1st run: Me VS. Black Ford Lightening

60ft...2.591
1/4...16.123
MPH...86.09

2nd run: Me VS. Dodge Neon SRT-4

60ft...2.567
1/4...16.148
MPH...85.09

3rd run: Me VS. White Ford Lightning

60ft...2.593
1/4...16.085
MPH...87.27

I lost all three but I was only going for the times. I'm going today and I am going to see if I can get more than 3 runs in. I just want to break 15.9 and then I'll go from there.

92 SE Automatic ( Slique ) RIP
2000 GLE Automatic ( 2 Slique ) The new legacy

 

Raced in the first annual NWMaxima.com Import Challenge (NIC) today at Woodburn Dragstrip in Woodburn, Oregon.

First time I ever legally raced anything, so I sucked at the bracket (ET) racing. I thought my best run was pretty decent, though --

here is my slip:

R/T .418
60 2.468
330 6.490
1/8 9.858
MPH 72.55
1000 12.770

MPH 91.94

Temperature was 81 degrees and the run was at 3:30 pm

SO, back to times....

Ran tonight at a local Max meet. I ran a 15.4(my old best time) a 15.3 and my best run....

15.25 @ 91 w/ 2.2 60'

That's w/ CAI...now I can't wait to pop on my WSP Y I have sitting in the living room and go back 14's??????

 

I went out the other day and tried launching techniques. With the light flywheel and my crappy old tires, basically I either bog or spin pretty good. There doesn't seem to be much of a "sweet spot" for launching with my current set up. That still doesn't account for my p!ss-poor reaction time, but it was the first time I have ever been to the track.

With better tires I know I can get it into the 14s. I am also going to be putting on an UDP and the next time I go to the track I am taking out the seats.

 

No track prep and IIRC it was near 65degrees outside.

Worst run, I was alittle happy on the gas at launch and ended up doing a 2,800rpm slip-clutch launch.

MPH 90.91

Quick, not power, shifting at 38mph 1-2, 69mph 2-3 and kept it in 3rd all the way through the finish mark. I did 8 runs in all, except for run 1, the rest were consistant 15.2-15.3@90mph

 

When i had a Maxipad, i mean Maxima. Bone Stock ran from what i remember, a 2.2 60, 15.37@90mph.
This was a 92 VE5spd with thin tires, 185 65 15 Michelin mxv4's.
Modded it lightly after that, but never got better times at the track due to bad ecu output to the VTCs. Fixed the prob, but never hit the track again.

 

My best time with a 89 SE(K&N filter in factory location and advanced timing) with over 190K on the clock is a 18.59@74 mph(R/T 1.475, 60' 2.672) . This is the first time I ever drag raced before. Track temp was around 90.

 

This is my best run with my 91 GXE mods are JWT pop charger, warpspeed y-pipe, and custom cat-back with Magnaflow muffler.

1/4- 16.15 @ 84.9 mph
1000 ft.- 13.50
1/8- 10.37 @ 68.5 mph
330 ft- 6.78
60 ft- 2.38

 

Estimated 1/4 mile, 100% humidity, lightly misting, about 60 degrees, wet asphalt.
Stock 1992 maxima,AT,177654 miles. Let the tranny shift itself.
17.25@88 mph first run.
17.40@87 mph second run, slight wheel spin.
17.80@89 mph third run, more wheel spin.
Not the best conditions. haha

 

Am happy. I did good on a track despite minor damage to the car.

I did a slight burnout staging to heat up the tires. Off the line I reved the engine up to 5k and slowly reliesed the clutch to avoid CV shaft snapping. I was able to get 2.0 in 60ft, not bad it could be better. I pulled 12.6@115 on my first run. Does that make me the fastest single cam maxima on this forum?
Anyway I whanted to dip lower with my time and improve the 60ft time. The second time I reved the engine and dumped the clutch fast. This time the car lounched better but when I shifted to second gear I heard a tump noise, I let go at that time and got of the track slowly. After examiniation I found out that my solid front motor mount bracket broke. I had to make custom one in order for the turbo to fit.

Anyway am happy with my time and I will fix the mount monday. I went there alone so no one was there to take a video, but am going again soon and will ask someone to go with me. I did not expect such a great run.

 

i ran down at Atco raceway in Atco, NJ i ran 1/4 mile at 16,58 seconds at 92 MPH that is my ALL stock maxima, its not all about the power, it is about the driver!!!!!!
