My roomate just a 97 gsr 5-speed and i bought my 99 gxe auto max like a month ago, so as soon as he gets it he challenges me to a race. so today im taking my car to get my intrax springs on and hes following me to pick me up, we get a light with both side by side, i take off im a little ahead of him off the line but as soon as he hit 7-8000 rpm he would gain a little but as soon as he shifted i would gain half a car on him cause i have longer gears in my max, by the time we hit 85 i had slowly gained one car on him. It was a good race and i think if he had shifted a little better we would have been dead even. But my first kill in my auto max

 

congrats..

 

ditto

 

One of my friends have a 95 GSR. I just might have to try this as well.

 

[wizzard of oz song]

if i only had a five speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

[/song]

hehehe. Time to get some bolts on and hope doesnt get a JRSC then you'll be seing tail lights. My bro has a 96 GSR and i wont be scared to he runs boost.

 

So an auto max can beat a GSR, eh? hmmmm

oh yea, check your PM's again

 

No, YOU check your PM's. HA!

 

Ya I already have my PR CAI in the mail (birthday gift from girlfriend) and once i receive my 2000 back from taxes in like a week or 2 ill be ordering warpspeed y-pipe, rt cat, apexi world sport cat back, and VB mod. hope to be pushing low 15's at 6000 feet Damn colorado air.

 

Congrats. PR CAI from your girlfriend? You lucky punk! lol. But your still not as lucky (or spoiled) as me when my girl hit me with the question today, "For your birthday in 2 weeks, which one do you want, y-pipe w/install or painted stillen front lip?

 

Damn man you guys are both spoiled, no one has bought me anything lol Take Care

 

Dafro did you race in Ft. Collins? if so where was it at? I have a few good spots to race up here in Greeley without getting caught. Take Care

 

Don't worry about the high altitude. Just give your time an "adjustment for altitude" like I've seen here before. No one will make fun of you, I swear.

 

Where in the Co?

 

An auto Max beat a 5spd GSR? I though those GSRs were faster than that? Maybe he was a bad driver? I've beaten one before, but that thing had like 200 lbs of stereo equipment in it. I take most pride in that - I though they were fast?

I beat an I/H/E equiped GSR several times one night at the track. Usually by about .2 sec (approx 2 - 3 carlengths).

 

haha its aite - my gf got me a shiftknob. i guess im not complaining tho.

 

No those Gsr are pretty fast once they hit high rpm's, and we probably would have been dead even if he had shifted a little better.

 

He had I/E for sure, don't know about header. I have an automagic, we started from a red light. I had him by half a car on the launch, we went to about 90. I never was more than one length ahead of him and he never made up the half a length, kinda back and forth everytime he shifted. When we talked later, he told me he was a B18c.

 

On the street an automagic Maxima can definitely take a GSR. I know because I have done it. However, I wouldn't advise you to race a GSR on the highway, that's where it shines. You will lose to a GSR on the highway if the GSR driver know how to drive.

 

yeah try a ITR at over 100 - thats a close race... usually have a decent lead below 100, but dang once they get up there - they can pull

 

Where are you guys at in Colorado??? By the way, I ran a 16.423 bone stock down to the paper filter with my 97 5 spd. And I had a terrible launch. And it's 5800 ft. @ Bandimere.

 

Im in fort collins, im hoping to take my car down there in april for the test and tune at bandimere i think a few other max's are goin too, we should try to get everyone from the org in colorado to take are cars there. Any way are gonna be at the meet on the 16th of feb its in the springs dunno if you know yet.

Hey do you know a site where i can figure out the adjusment for altitude. if been looking but can't find one.
Ryan

 

No problem, here's the site you're looking for And I'm not sure if I'll be there. Generally everyone says that they're going but no one ever does So I don't know if I want to drive down there and have a whole two cars there. Know what I mean? But if people are ACTUALLY going to be there then I'll go. Anyway, here's the site:

http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/altitude.html

 

I think this meet a few more than 2 are goin to show, i think 7-8 have confirmed they will be goin plus another guy from Fort Collins might drive down with me, so there could be like 10 max'a there
Ryan
Here is a list of the people that are goin:
1. asian_n2o
2. 1/3There2/3ToGo
3. ME
4. jrmaxima
5. 97abmax
6. The_bomb
7. canuk
then there are a couple possables
plus if you go thats 8 and if the other guy in fort collins comes with me thats 9. give it a thought man i think everyone is pretty serious about goin down there.
