Hey yawl, i have a 1996 maxima that i am tryin to get down into the 13s if at all possibly and was readin around and noticeing that people were talkin alot about a DR mod. What exactly is the DR mod, lots of people seem to get a lot from it. And if there are any other mods that can be suggested to get me down into the 13s if not closer please suggest.

DR mod? never seen that....what is it?

vsamoylov

u a stick? need to plant the power down to the ground also. a racing clutch and a lighter flywheel would help plant the power. never heard of the dr mod. lighter rims will increase times but not that much and suspension get that for the twisties.lol. thats what i would do cause u dont drive in a straight line. ohh and brakes so u can stop the beast.lol

vsamoylov

ohh also a mevi with jwt ecu or try to install the VI.

Install the VI? Its an auto by the way, and any ideas on somewhere to go to get the mevi and jwt ecu? thanks

the "dr mod" is the drop resistor mod for sutomatic trannys, it helps a ton in fast fast fast shifts also if your lucky youll sqweel into 2nd gear like the 5 speed boys. basically it just splices wires into your trannys line pressure solinoid and when a switch is activated it cancels the signal to the tranny which automatically makes it have full line pressure on shifts. of course if you use this while not at wide open throttle youll deff f*ck som **** up. i have this mod done and LOVE IT!!! its awsome the way it shifts while on it just throws u back like your stick or somthing and suprises the h*ll out of all my passengers and makes them hit there heads on the seat LOL if yer automatic and want more info im me on aim im on alot otherwise talk to one of the many fellow maxima owners that has done this.

He means the Drop Resistor mod... it makes the auto tranny shift at full pressure making it shift VERY hard. Improves 1/4 times and saves the clutches inside the transmission but its pretty hard on the drivetrain

the valve body mod is also pretty much the same thing as the drop resistor but safer cause it actually does somthing physically to yer tranny aka new valvebody. only downside to that is the cost i believe its like $400+ vs $8 for the wire and switch from wal-mart for the DR

Sounds like a neat mod, is it bad on your tranny? How hard is it to set up something like this. Does anyone have a link to a page or something that explains how to do something like this? thanks

a 75 shot of wet with y-pipe should put you in 13's alone

what were to happen if the switch was left on and it switched gears super hard when just accelerating slowly, would this hurt the transmission? Is there anything in this set up that could potentialy screw something up? It almost seems to good to be ture. thanks

Almost 99%, if not all the people running the drop resistor use a toggle switch for W.O.T. I'm not really familiar, and I don't need to be since I'm running a manual tranny, but basically using a toggle switch recognizes the difference btwn. W.O.T. and anything less than that, and will "shut off" the hard shifts if it detects any kind of throttle pressure besides W.O.T., so it will only be used when racing/d!cking around.

I've got a DR on my auto max and can chirp 1-2 at WOT. Its an easy mod but a tranny cooler is recommended to keep the tranny from melting. If your pushing alot of power through your tranny it will make your shifts much faster and maybe shave a tenth, but it wont shave much off a stock setup.
