How fast can you go
#1
I was just wondering the top speed that you all have reached in your maximas, let me know, oh and don't forget to say if you have a 5-speed or an Auto, I got my 1996 SE 5-speed to about 160 the needle on the speedo was pointing at the p in mph so everyone join in the fun and let's see who has gone the fastest

75 mph

Your maxima will NOT go 160 mph on a straight level road. Sorry. Do a search. You would be the fastest maxima out there if you did.

I'll get to the end of the tread by saying that all of the SE 5 speeds will say about 142, and about half of the auto people will say 118 and the other half about 138. Then someone will say that there is a limiter in all of the GXEs and GLEs (there isn't in ALL of them) and that 118 is a fast as you can go in an auto, and this will continue for like another two pages and then the thread will die without the answer ever coming up. So lets just all say fast enough to get arrested on the spot. And unless you were reading the KPH numbers, your Maxima CANNOT DO 160 unless you bought new tires and rims and you didn't match up the sizes so that they leave your speedo reasonably accurate.

160
is very possible and I have witnesses, anyway I said about 160 or so I have no idea really how fast it was but you put two and two together if the needle was at the p is mph on a 1996 speedo, and it only registers 140, I don't know you tell me how fast the p would be
#7
Does the car have any special sauce like a supercharger? Other than that or one hell of an ECU upgrade I can't figure out how you did that, and I doubt anyone else on the board has done it either with their Maxs. I'm not saying its not possible, but HIGHLY unlikely with anything in the neighborhood of 200 HP and normal gearing.

Re: 160
Ugh. Then you "truely" have the fasted maxima on this entire board. With no mods to speak of either. Congradulations. Maxima.org will be sending your plaque for the fasted maxima in this entire board in the mail shortly. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Autos are wierd. I have a 99 gxe aoutomatic right now and my top speed so far is about 132-134mph. In my old 96 gxe 5 speed my top speed was only about 128mph. Both of my Gxe's have come with the security and convienice package.

W/ My 18's
Since my 18's have much more rotational mass or whatever accel ain't as good as 15's but top speed is much better and its accurate at about 140ish, i would be honest and say 137, but i have seen it past 140 at times, (like once) scared the **** out of me so i slowed down.
#15
With my 95GXE 5spd It would accelarate hard until hitting the 118mph limiter.
With my new 99SE 5spd I hit 128mph three times with four people in the car, always run out of space. Maybe going downhill I might break the 130 barrier.

Now I'd like to get my hands on a 5th gen with the 6400 rpm hp peak!

top speed
I agree that 160mph is impossible for a stock maxima, regardless of the hill. Besides, the engine would be at like 6600rpm, i.e. INTO the redline. It has no power up there, even if the hill was steep.
Anyway, I've pegged 140 on the speedo twice.

have a witness ? did a cop clock you at 160 ?

Off Topic...SPYDER I NEED THE PIC of that Porsche....
That Really Bad As* Porsche... I have never seen anything like it.. Can you give me the pic in an e-mail so i can add it to my gallary of hot cars i am building online.. and the year and make...thanks..
PS I have only done 115...yesterday on route 80 west on the way to sparta...
The car in front of me was a CLK 430 coupe...we were doing 80-85 from the GWB ( george Washington Bridge) all the way to Sparta... Only saw one cop... and it was at the right time, UP hill ... the maxima held the road very well for that amount of time. 25 minutes straight... we hit 115 on a straight... had a client in the car who looked at me as we went passed 100, so i backed off when he really looked at me and grabed the door at 115...Ooops.. will not try anything faster till spring and tire upgrade...

160, I don't think so
I have a '97 SE 5-speed and I have been around 138-140 a couple of times. To achieve 160 MPH you would have to go WAY over redline in 5th gear and that just isn't physically possible. My car is at right around 6k on the tach at 140, so don't even dream about touching 160 without new gears, and a good bit more HP

Actually, I noticed that my Max accelerates to about 122mph and starts coasting from there, but I mean really, really slow. Probably why I haven't found enough space to get to 130mph. Maybe because its a 99. Has anyone been able to get a pretty stock 99 past 130mph?

Besides, who would actually focus long enough on their gauges while driving that fast to get a decent picture like that? Either way, you get my vote for the dumbass award.
