i want to know what you guys dump you clutch at when racing off the line, legaly of course. But everytime i take off i spin the tires to much or my car almost stalls . What rpms do you guys release at?

 

When I'm launching, I don't dump the clutch at all. I slip the clutch (hard to do with an ACT) until hookup, then slowly floor it. When I was stock, I just floored it after hookup, but now that I have a few mods, this causes wheelspin.

 

do'nt dump the clutch.
go to about 1.5k and slip it...once you get traction and are off the clutch...slowly floor the pedal.
dumping the clutch will make it almost stall...then when you push the gas hard, it will bog down.

 

when i had my acura legend 87 i use to do some racing. and i use release it around 4000 rpm and play with the wheel until it locked up to the road. and change to second, after that it was going. but i dont know about maxima, thats how it was with that car. right now i have automatic. and when i press on the gas it chrips. but no smoke. but it moves. thats good enough.

 

I have an Auto, but I launch with Brake Torque, I turn my Limited Slip off, and It launched Fast, but now with my Intake my wheels spin soo bad, any one know how to go along with this w/o wheel spin

 

You mean traction control ?

 

rookie

 

whats this 1.5k .. i slip that baby from 4k rpms

 

First of all wtf do you guys mean by slipping the clutch? I have had perfect launches before, when i get a good feeling for the clutch, by revving and feathering it with power from 1.5k RPM..... Is that what you mean by slipping it?

 

well if you are at the track when you are racing you can generally get alot better traction. I dump my clutch at 3k at the track and hook up great. If I do this on the street I just spin like hell. I also have an ACT clutch.

 

yes feathering is the same as slipping..

 

I didn't say I couldn't do it, I just said it was hard

 

why would you turn LSD off?
and how do you get so much wheel spin in an auto with a ~6hp intake?

 

 

my car feels different from time to time. I guess its cause of the weather or how hot the engine is but i normally let it out between high 1's to 2. I never launch past 2.2 because even that causes heavy wheel spinning. But it feels good to feel your neck jerk back

 

 

He's got Bald Eagles on the front and Maypops on the rear. And are we talking about the O/D off button? Where did anyone get the idea that has anything to do with limited slip?

 

for some reason he thinks his car has LSD..

1) US Maxima's don't have LSD
2) you can't turn off the LSD
3) i told him to check his tranny VIN.. nothing yet

 

Like mecca's TT max.....

 

I have tryed feathering but the take off seems slower cause i was doing it at about 1000 rpm's . I gona try to hold it at the release point and thy to feather it by im gona try 2 k. I was just wondering if im the only one that had this problem.

 

Didn't all Maxima SE models (US as well) have VLSD?

I know the Canadian SE has VLSD... dunno about the other trims.

 

na maxima's dont have lsd in the us.

 

my maxima has VLSD and its in the US.



but then again the speedometer says 220 also.




and i usually slip the clutch from 1k-1500 rpms w/ stock clutch. I was doing it at 3k but i like 1k-1500 better.

 

I usually dump it at 2k, and it grips on point, not too much wheelspin and chrips at 2nd, slightly in 3rd. Going to track next month after i get rims, springs, and struts.

 

Are you still slipping your clutch, now that you have the trubo? Or did you slip your clutch at 4k with all the bolt on mods? I have the ACT street modified clutch, and cant slip that ****. Any tips, or suggestions?

Thanks

 

I'm sure Sprint's gonna call you a rookie for this one

You can slip it, it just takes a sensitive foot. You also have to be familiar with the specific clutch in question, as the ACT's are auto-adjusting (read: the catch point will differ greatly over time)

 

My 93max has VLSD...

 

this is the 4th Gen Forum.. we are talking about 4th Gens..

we all know 92 - 94 SE's all have variable intakes and LSD

 

good motor mounts and lots of toying with the clutch..

 

i slip my clutch at 1k-1500k aswell but then again i have a stock clutch that i've abused lately and had like 20,000 before i purchased car, and its slips bad.

 

Yeah, but I have both

 

Mind if I ask, what motor mounts you use?

 

Any one know this car? I think the LSD was off.....

 

LSD off? what are you talking about? are you thinking of traction control?


LSD = limited slip differential

 

keep sleeping

 

Poly filled stock mounts

 

rev up engine in first with clutch applied ... release them together slowly and make her humm...scoot out !! ha ha ! you know if your rpms are way to high if they spin...if so try it again until it works for you. im no pro, but everyone can get used to their own car... you will be able to hear what to do if you do it enough, if that makes any since. another thing to look for is that you will find yourself shifting into second much sooner if your doing it right. again im not a pro ...

 

You took your stock motor mounts (there's 3 if I am not mistaken... but I could be wrong) out and had them poly filled?

Wouldn't it have been easier to buy aftermarket motor mounts (if any exist)?

 

i had sx7r do them.. check the FAQ.. Ericdwong explains how to do it..

it costed me $60 less than aftermarket mounts... also aftermarket mounts are shakey at low idle... i only did the front and back mounts... however the car has 4 total mounts.. 1 front.. 1 rear.. 1 on the engine on the pass side.. and the 1 on the drivers side bolted to the tranny...

the rear one is the one that usually gets real bad..
