I have a 95max, its an AUTO so goin when going around turns i dont have alot of gearing options.
I had a 91 Honda Accord, the car had NO sliding handeling aroung turns, i never had control in a slide and wrecked it 3 times (2 times sliding sideways into trees)
I had a 93 civic HB, that suck a$$ too. it would get the turn sometimes but for the most part it would either stick or lose its a$$.
Both_of_these cars had neuspeeds w/kybagx..

MAXIMA_ POINT:
My maxima w/stock suspension is EXcellent @ Sliding. excellent
Theres never been a turn too much to predict.
I can slam into a turn and Know how much to press on the gas when sliding to pull straight out. Ive came very close before but the car is very excellent at breaking the rear wheels loose and predicting its next move.So you all may think im insane for testing the limits but thats what i do best and thats why i still drive my maxima.peace.mdub

 

[disclaimer] First off pushing the car that hard on a public street is very dumb [/disclaimer]. Basically if your sliding your going too fast in a corner. I bet you were the victum of lift throttle oversteer and wiped out in the other cars. Every maxima has understeer at the limit. I suggest testing the handling at a proper place like an autoX or road race track. If you can't do that try it in an empty parking lot, just don't get caught by the .

 

I did this before in my 95 SE 5spd around a turn at about 20, downshifted to 2nd gear before the turn, and ended up having the back end swing out like a rear wheel drive car...i counter steered it and it swung the other side, counter steered it once more and pulled out ok..I couldnt believe that..reminded me of driving my bros Rx-7. I'll never try that again...until i get some suspension mods.

changing tire pressure will allow for interesting driving changes in your vehicle. Try auto-crossing. If you beef up the back tires your rear will come about.

 

thats what my prolem was...i had the rears at 44 psi.

-Nick

 

I always run 29-30 psi in all 4 Tires...
My tires are the 16inch 60 series tires on stock sawblades.
ITs junky wheels on yokohamas 60 series ballon tires...

 

i can make a 90 degree turn @ 25 mph with only FSTB, make sure ur tire psi is around 29-30... also brake enough tat u won't slid, down shift to 2 before u make a turn so use the engine + brake to help u slow down simultanesouly, when ur 1/2 done turning start accelerating fast enough not hit a tree and finisin up ur turn, shift back to D and continue u ride...


it's okie...ur record isn't tat bad, i hit a tree @ mcdonald drive thru with my sister's corella cuz i was driving with my knee while gettin out $$ for my drink... gheyness of me.

 

If you wait till after the apex of the turn and then floor it, you can do a pretty fun turn.

 

See Thats what im talkin about. The Maxima is so tight on backroads.
I have the RSB Too guys , which before that i actually slid almost too slick and w/ RSB on its perfect.

Im really suprised as to how many daddys we have on here that say road rage is a bad thing.I support road rage daily. i take auto off o/d add do 110 home daily, i cut people off on backroads, i pass on the double white line, and i do make people get out of there car thinking they have a flat tire. .and im proud of that sh$t too. my dad and his talks dont need to be here.
M dub.

dude i hope you have good insurance, and that no one i know is ever anywhere near you.

 

Yo ain't playin' wit a full deck o' cards, ain't ya boy?

 

i got a skyline kit with stock suspension and if i slid a turn do you think i will hit because of the horrible body roll??? i have done donuts pulling the e-brake at the apex of each circle its fun, but that was b4 the kit.

 

The car is running, but no one is behind the wheel eh?
I just hope you don't run into the wrong person on the wrong day. Pray you don't because you might end up in a ditch, alive maybe, dead probably.

 

dude, the people who advised u to test the limits at autoXs and open parking lots, were advising u for ur own safety and the safety of others around u. if u want to test the limits and don't care about ur life...well...its ur life, and i can't say anything about it. BUT U DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENDANGER THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WHILE U R TESTING UR LIMITS. i hope u don't have to learn it the hard way by losing someone u know due to someone else trying to "test the limits" on the road.
take care, be safe, have fun

Thank God.

 

people like MDubya make me want to buy an 18 wheeler.. and load it up with some concrete for extra ballast.

ps. i do hope you realize that at 110 you

1. can't stop
2. won't even notice when something goes wrong till you are already in the air.
3. some family was in the car infront of you....

i should know.. i blasted a cow at 40, and i couldn't stop from 80. it's all fun till something happens yu nuw ma man.

 

I am not trying to sound mean dude, but you are testing the limits of FWD cars on THE STREET!!!! From what you have said you sound about as smart as a box of rocks. You think you are cool with your road rage skillz, but all you are is putting other peoples and your life in danger. Lay off the steroids, be patient, test your driving skills at the track and you and EVERYONE AROUND YOU WILL BE JUST FINE. Stop thinking about yourself and think of the consequences.

 

this isn't no honda its a maxima, test it where you won't wreck it, it would be a shame if you did

 

I remember what happened when I took a turn and tried to exit too fast... understeer

Now I have an ugly opening in my steering wheel where the air bag used to be.

This was on a vacant street and I only hit a curb, I hope for the sake of other drivers you are testing your cars suspension on closed roads or open parking lots.

With my old car, my 90 Sentra 4-spd, on wet days I used to drive into the parking lot of my apt complex and come down a slight hill. The parking spaces were around a small peninsula and were parallel to the road, I'd come in with enough speed, push in the clutch, yank the e-brake while turning the wheel, kick the rear out and slide all the way 180 degrees and let the clutch up in 2nd gear and slide into the spot. When it was doen right it looked like something right out of the movies. It was most fun when people were outside smoking cigarettes or something.

I've kicked out the rear in my Max once or twice, but not to this extreme. I really don't wanna F it up. With a beater car, its a different story.

 

 

If you support road rage, support this...
http://www.registerguard.com/news/20...rage.0110.html

 

This is the kind of crap we don't need around here. Get back to your bedroom and finish watching The Fast and the Furious.

 

Oh yeah, just to clarify, I did that "slide around the turn and pull into the parking spot" move only when there was no danger to people. If I had hit a parked car or something, that would have been only my financial security, but hitting a person would be unforgivable for something that stupid.

 

What's a "double white line" mean when used to describe traffic striping?

 

People like MDubya are complete idiots. If you "practice" road rage on a daily basis, you must have a serious mental problem. Like everything else in life, what goes around comes around. One of these days, our boy MDubya is going to mess with the wrong person and find himself in a very sticky and possibly fatal situation. I'm just glad I live far, far away from that idiot.

 

I think he means a double-yellow line, indicating a no-passing zone. You can get away with it if your skillz are mad tyte, yo.

 

double white is no passing. they use the double white on most bridges and tunnels only if they are 4 or more total lanes though

 

Okay, you already wrecked your previous cars doing these stupid stunts. Don't you think it's time to wise up? Do you like replacing your tires? Do you even know the first thing about driving and handling? Do we think you're insane for testing the limits? NO, we think you're just dumb. You want attention so you do dumb things. You crashed doing these dumb things in the past and you still do them. Everything points to you being as smart as a bag of rocks. I hope the moderators don't lock this thread because you need more people to tell you how dumb you are. One day you will run in to someone or kill yourself. Darwinism will win in the end. Dude, relax. Sliding is NOT COOL! Anyone that tells you drifting your car in the streets is cool, is NOT COOL! Only stupid people do that. Stupid inconsiderate people.

 

What happens when a person that needs to learn things by experience, doesn't learn things by experience? Bad things.

Here's to hoping it only takes four more single-car wrecks and five more miscellaneous tickets for MDubya to figure some **** out.

 

nice!

Or if you feel the need, TAKE IT TO THE TRACK, dorkus!

 

Great advice, but then you follow it with your sig line!

 

this is halarious..completely. i left the other day to return to like 30 replys to this. haha.
Yep I drive like an a$$ sometimes, ooo but thats me.
i guess its too bad some of you dont live life to the fullest and take chances. peace to all and to all drive well.

 

IBTL

 

tell that to the kids you leave orphaned when you kill their mother/father driving like an idiot.

I suggest you get a street bike. that way you can go much faster, much quicker and more easily weave in and out of traffic. also, when you do f-up, the chances are better that you'll only kill yourself instead of others.

 

sawblades are 15s.

 

$hit i really just wanted to see who knows how to drive their car.

THis was not to prove a point that i drive ~crazy~ or whatever.
I really could care less of what some people think but at least there some of you who are reminding me that this nuts.
And people its not like i leave the apartment everyday and say
"ohh wonder if i can drive stupid today"
cumon! some of you must really think im ridiculious.its cool with me, it just you opinion not like your playing with my money..
SO please leave all the remarks about my driving being stupid and im retarded, im gonna kill someone.., it your 2cents. go ahead!

>And NEXT time you race a civic, a talon, or whatever remember your fellow org member would be DISAPOINTED in you, and are risking killing people.

peace.

 

I do some crazy stuff sometimes, but I take precautions before I do it (like double-checking all surrounding directions), and mostly I don't do anything around other cars. Reardgless, losing control in a slide is risking way too much for my tastes. I'm a rebel when I pass in a no passing zone after checking twice.

 

YOU F*****G IDIOT!! THESE ARE THE PEOPLE I HATE!! YOU WANT TO KILL!!! YOUR RYDE IS A TWO TON MISSLE!!! IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL, YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO KILL!!! YET YOU SAY "I LIKE TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST" F*****G KILLING PEOPLE!!! IN MY EYES, YOU ARE A CRIMINAL. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING HERE AS YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS OR YOUR CAR, IT IS JUST A BEATER TO YOU. THIS IS NOT HOW THE REST OF US FEEL. I BELIEVE YOU SHOULDNT POST HERE ANYMORE, AS YOUR TALES OF SUPER SWEET TIMEZ IN DA MAX PROVE TO US YOU ARE A CHILD. GO BACK TO THE SKOOTER MDubya!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DRIVE.

SORRY IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE, BUT I WORK IN A COLLISION SHOP AND HAVE BEEN TO THE SALVAGE YARDS. I AM TIRED OF SEEING THESE WRECKS, ONES YOU ARE SURE PEOPLE DIED IN. I CAN HONESTLY SAY DRIVING SCARES ME. PUSHING YOUR CAR IS OK, BUT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, LIKE AT THE TRACK. I BELIEVE DRIVERS LIKE THIS ARE A THREAT TO ALL OF US.
