any tips on how to race an automatic from lets say a 30-40 mph roll?

 

#1: Step on the gas pedal.

#2: Repeat #1.

 

40mph is almost the top of 1st gear. I would recommend you race from a 20mph roll and keep the car in 1st and upshift to 2nd at redline etc etc. If you keep the car in D at 20mph you could get stuck in 4th and have to wait till the tranny downshifts to 1st or 2nd. If it downshifts to 2nd, you're pretty much screwed at 20mph. =P

This technique is real simple. What you do is make sure you're racing right next to a used Nissan place. Then you just roll into the dealer just before the race starts, trade in your auto for a 5 speed, then roll out and into the race. Guaranteed increase in speed once the race starts.

What does the "O/D off" button do? quote:

For some reason the function of the "O/D OFF" button on the shifter of
automatic equipped 4th gen Maximas is always the subject of heated debate.

The button functions exactly as it is labeled. The button disables 4th gear in the transmission. This is it's only function. It has no effect on engine output. It has no effect on transmission shift firmness. It has no effect on transmission shift points.

Well, if it doesn't do any of that, why is it there?

Good question.

One instance where turning overdrive off can help is heavy traffic. If you are in "stop-and-go" traffic, and not exceeding about 50mph, switching O/D off may help driveability. Locking out 4th gear reduces hunting and shifting in traffic. This makes it easier to drive smoothly.

Another instance is when driving at very high speeds. When left alone, the transmission will shift from 3rd to 4th gear at about 6000 RPM at WOT. This is about 122 MPH. When this happens, the engine drops down too low in it's power band to continue accelerating very well. This is why people complain about not being able to exceed about 125 MPH. If O/D is switched off and the car redlines in 3rd gear, it reaches 130 MPH. Switching O/D on at this point will put the engine into 4th gear at a more powerful RPM. This will allow the car to continue accelerating to the 140 MPH range.

 

will, shut yur mouth...i didnt my a$$ whooped that night, i was pullin slowly on em, relax yur self...ill get a conversion ONE DAY

 

yup u got ur a$s handed over to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

throw it into 2nd...change to 3rd at redline...hold third until redline...should be ok...yes it does make a diff...

 

If your in D and want to race at 40mph then drop your gear shifter to 2nd and floor it. If it's a short race you will be fine. If your in a long race on a long streath of road then right before you hit redline up shift it into D with your O/D off.
