Tell me what you think! Found a better road for a little more speed, got up to fourth gear

-I edited the clip, now the music is softer so you can hear the engine more:

Those are some nice shifts doing in very close to the rev line. Also whats the music you got playing in the background. It sounds amazing

 

It would be better if the music wasnt there so we could actually hear the car a little bit better

 

lmao awesome, that music hahaha

 

i like the music, but it would be better to hear the engine. Looks like you are hittin it though.

 

I mean... it's fast shifting, kinda....
Glad you're enjoying the max (goodthing you have the passport)....
It reminds me of what a stock drivetrain max is like.... first gear used to take forever!

Are you kidding? First is pretty short, even with stock engine and 245s I have plenty of trouble keeping traction in first in the rain.

Shifts are pretty decent. You could be shifting significantly faster though.

I've found that if I shift sort of fast from 2nd-3rd I actually grind, whereas if I slap it in as fast as I can I don't..

 

No??... i'm not kidding......
You can only shift so fast on a stock tranny/flywheel/clutch, etc......

 

nice vid bud.

 

wats the name of that soundtrack :-D

 

You might want to watch out for your throttle/clutch engagement on your first to second gear shifts. The rpms seemed to get "caught" in the transition from one to two, so you added gas early on that one. Just something to think about. Definately check the link for those driving vids I posted in Wielkiwak's (sp?) thread earlier.

It would be easier to tell if they was no sound other than the engine, but I caught the tach. Actually, that was a 2nd to third shift.

 

lmao that was some good ****... why take it to redline when the power drops off after 5800 rpm, i would take it to 6k then shift, jmo...

 

Here is a video I made of my shifting.

It doesnt work I cant get it to work with WMP or VLC

 

Oh god. You shift at redline because when you shift, the rpm actually fall, ya way. If he shifted at 5800, the rpm would drop out of the "power zone". That's why you shift close to redline.

 

Go to the direct download link located under the media player window and renamed it to Iilac.avi file. The hosting site is being ghey.

Well now it wont even load the link to the movie now just says image not found

 

I remember when you posted that vid awhile ago. Did you ever get that clutch swapped out?

 

Your shifting seems fine to me, I'm more worried about the way you grab the steering wheel on the inside with your left hand. That's a , if for some reason the wheel kicks back, you can break your wrist...

 

passing freeway traffic while on the frontage road: priceless

don't push your luck, though

a little ot, but how did you mount that camera? seems stable and offers a decent view

 

I think it in between the passenger headrest and seat. Just raised up the headrest am I right?

 

I changed the link, so go to my first post and click on that.

 

Nah, not yet, I am still driving on it. It is fine with regular driving.

 

Correct, I just squeeze the camera in between the headrest and seat, since I have cloth seats, and it fits snug. Works great.

 

Seems great are you by chance slipping the clutch? And why you going to 7000 rpms?

 

Nice vid Iilac, car looks pretty healthy.

 

I think your clutch is slipping, or you're adding power while the clutch is still slipping

He's going to 7K because he's kewl like that :P

ECU FTw.

 

damn, for me your maxima accelerate faster than mine.

 

Ha, JWT FTW. Also my clutch is slipping so that's why it is doing that.

 

^you got an oovi?

 

sounds pretty good, would sound better w/out the music

 

orly? why do you think i said 6000 shift, you gonna tell me something that i don't know? look how long it takes to go from 6000 to 6500, WAY TO LONG so lets race you shift at 6500 and i will at 6000, i bet i would win...

 

you might want to read up a little more on the subject before posting things like that. Try going to the all-motor forum, optimal shift points are calculated. IIRC, 4th-5th is at about 5800rpm. Try looking up "powerband"...

 

Not fast enough

I have an ACT stage 1 as well as a STS so it's pretty rare for me to see another N/A clip through the gears the same way (Bijan comes to mind..)

I actually have a friend with stock shifter and stock (not 5th gen) clutch that gets through shifts just as fast as I do so there is room for improvement.

Car seems like it pulls really well though.

 

I have a MEVI.

 

shifts are okay, i'll post up a vid of me at the track when i go.

 

i agree with you

 

nice shiftin its always a blast in a 5 sp max
