Nitrous doesn't give him good 60ft times you twit.. slicks do

 

Actually its a combonation of both.

 

What about the resistor mod?does it help?

No one's been talking about it, but when I ask everybody says its better then the VB and it shvae off .2-.3...

 

You are boosted too, whats your 60'?

There isn't a Maxima on here that has run less that a 2 second 60' without boost.

I take that back Neal ran a 1.99, so there is one exception to every rule.

 

i have done 2.0 on 15 inch kuhmo's

i think neal did his on slicks

 

talking auto's and manuals. I could write up 10 pages on this arguement easily. But to just prove a point to every1 that THINKS all sticks are faster, here this. In rail cars do u ever see a stick... um no... and take my dads 440 coronet R/T auto, race and auto stock r/t vs a stick r/t, he blows the doors off them every time. not to burst ne ones bubble, but if you don't believe me look it up sticks are not alwyas faster than autos, period.

 

you don't need high horsepower to get 1.8 with slicks

 

 

You are correct and im not gonna argue with that statment, but the low-end torque that nitrous dishes out does help alot. Uve ran nitrous be4 havnt you? You know what I mean then, nitrous produces gobs of torque in the low end which will blast a car off the line.

 

SprintMax just isn't good at admitting when he get's owned.

 

You need more then a n/a 3.0 DOHC V6 4spd auto with a tall first gear don't you? The way my old auto accelerated, it would never get a 1.8 on slicks.

 

there comes a plateau of power...where auto is indeed faster than manual. however until you reach that amount of power, manual is the way to go. with more aggressive gearing and less drivetrain loss, it is more efficient to a certain extent. once you have so much power than that its difficult to get traction, the stability and consistency of auto is probably better.

this is more associated towards powerful domestic dragsters than weak imports. cars like the max that have a lack of power need the extra bit of power from gearing and less drivetrain loss that the manual transmission offers.

so you're particular situation isn't really relevant when looking at maxima's. i think the fastest max (mardigras) just got an 11.9 or something close to that and he's stick. auto is probably the way to go with sub 10 second cars.

 

Oh yes you do. I run 1.8 with spray and 2.2-2.3 without both with slicks.

Thats the difference between 15.4 N/A and 13.1 with spray. I think that would classify as a littler higher HP.

 

So tell me Doug, how does it feel to get

 

anyone ever tried getting head whie driving a 5speed. exactly. road head kicks *** and is great. unless you on the highway your gonna be shifting alot. just thought i'd mention this as it comes to mind everytime a p[erson says manuals are better. mmmm road head...

 

You know your an idiot right?

 

You are a fool. I dunno tho my last time out runnin on the bottle i got a 2.2 60ft with slicks, i run a 100 shot. So i dunno i guess it's kinda the way a car is setup also. Jim did you lighten up your car taken seats out and stuff? That would prolly help with a better 60ft i would assume. Brian

 

the only person us manuals need to be worried about as far as NA goes is 96sleeper...he ran (3) 14.4s in a row last time he was at the track.

 

Rare occasion dare I say I ran a 2.3 60ft with a 15.5 last time at the track with my auto 01 but that was on just normal Yoko tires. If u dont have enough power to burn the tires up in 1st then slicks arnt going to help much. Thats why a N/A 3.5 benafits from the use of slicks.

 

No, I ran full interior last year and no lightening except spare tire and jack. Where I race you have to have a passenger seat.

This year I am going to do lightening on my 95 I just got. Already working on it. I want a 1.7 this year.

You are right though, the setup makes a big difference, I block the rear, which is good for about .2 in the 60' time.

 

maybe YOU do.. but I don't.

even Aaron did 1.9 with bolt on's and street tires..

STFU jacka$$.. you talk so much **** out your mouth.. you get owned daily

 

AUTO OWNER ...BUT I THINK ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT THE MANUAL IS A FAR BETTER REACTOR UP FRONT...PLUS WITH AT LEAST SOME MODS...
THE AUTO HAS FLAWS HERE AND THERE MAINLY PICK UP...UNLESS OF COURSE YOU GOT A S/C...BUT HEY THATS MY OPINION

 

5spd owns.

 

are you talking about Aaron95SE in NJ with 300zx wheels????????/

 

TURN OFF UR CAPS LOCK!

 

I think anyone should be able to run sub 60' times with a 5 speed. Try that with an auto the task is just a little more difficult.

What I am trying to get across is that you do not need a high stall torque convertor to run good 60' times, as a matter of fact I am not sure it would help at all.

Someone did mention the drop resistor mod, it does help especially when you get into the 13's. The faster you get the more it helps.

 

Mobiltek.com. you will have to send in your torque converter.

 

Mobiltek.com sells multimedia products. Please don't send anyone to the other Mobiltek site, we have had enough people on here lose their money.

Read the dealership forum if you need any info on their service record.

 

no Aaron as in theblue from Upstate NY..

i know.. i was meerly letting Crack Mack settle down because he got a little too excited with the fact of me being wrong. and like i said.. with a 5spd you can pull 1.8 60fts with just bolt on's.

 

i am fully aware of that.. but as my last statement said.. you dont' need high horsepower to get low 60fts

 

isnt he on the bottle...i thought you someone was sayin he hit 1.9s with just bolt ons

 

auto has lag. 5 speed has power all the time. cant wait till i have money for 5 speed conversion. 5 speed owns.

 

nope.. strictly bolt-on's..

 

now thats amazing.

 

he is a great driver.. but he moved on to auto-x now

 

i owned both. my old 96 se was auto and my 99 is a 5 speed. the 5 speed is just so much better. i felt the difference in drivig. and im comparing this to both being stock. not with my current mods.

 

I have both 5sp(90) and auto(99) maximas. I sometimes miss the manual shifting (like when im reading this forum) but love the way i can relax in my newer auto max. It just suits the car better to have it in auto. THATS JUST MY OPINION. and thats why i bought it that way.

 

try driving a 5spd VQ .. you will see a huge difference in your VG 5spd

 

Heh, i was just reading and noticing i didnt have the 24 valve 3.0 in the older max. The issue wasnt power it was the feeling of the car.

 

no i am serious.. this car is amazing.. i have driven many 5spd cars and the VQ 5spd will blow you away.. just drive one and see.

everytime people asked me if they should buy an Accord, Camry or Maxima..i said go test drive a 5spd one and see..
