Four more letters baby

SLOW

So much.

So uhh, guys...? Can someone tell me how it is that an auto Accord V6 ( ) can beat a Max, but a supercharged GTP is an easy kill...?

 

 

Sweet reply man. You have nothing to say? I again ask the question, if you don't know what it means, then why use the term and make yourself look stupid?

 

CAI would just have made me faster off the line and I might have won by just a tiny bit because of my faster launch. But the popcharger has a better top end.

Either way, it was a close race both times.

The Accord didn't have a passenger ... so that might have been why he won.

 

If a moderator is supposed to know everything about the Maxima, no matter how obscure, then I guess nobody on this board can be a moderator.

I used the wrong term ... I'm so sorry for being a human and for making a mistake. I'll try never to make a mistake again... if I do, I'll hang my head in shame because I am supposed to know everything about everything in the Maxima just and cars in general and then kill myself.

I repeat:




And the only person looking stupid here is you.

 

Yes. Moderator != expert. A moderator's purpose make sure things run smoothly, and to lay the smack down when jacka$$es get out of line. Not naming names or anything...
So what do you call it when an automatic transmission changes gears?

 

When most people think of shifting, they think of manual trannys. And how the hell would you powershift an auto? Really, I'd like to know.

 

You obviously can't powershift an automatic. clee130 made a mistake and misused the term. I'm sure he'd readily admit that. It most certainly does not affect his ability to be a good moderator.

And I disagree with shifting implying a manual transmission. Shifting means changing gears. All transmissions with more than one gear do that.

 

Yopu're more than welcome to disagree. I know what it means, i stated what it implys to most, not what it means

 

I don't know about the everyone else's 4th gen MAX, but I have a 97' SE 5 speed. 109k miles.

Stillen Hi-Flow Intake ((Sucks, but nice growl), I don't want water in my engine from a CAI)

Ive done plenty of research on the Place Racing CAI, Ive also spoken with other MAX owners that have the PR CAI and they said they dont drive their car in the rain. Who the **** doesnt need their car in the rain (use some common sense).

You can bye a By-pass valve to help stop water from gettin in.

I read a test on an Acura NSX that Sport Compact Car put a by pass valve on and submerged the CAI completley under water - no leaks. I havent seen any tests on CAI that only have a small amount (like a few drops) come in???????

U do the math!

My Mods include:

Unorthodox Under Drive Crank Pulley

Stillen Y-pipe

Greddy Cat back SP

Stillen Short Shifter - cut down an extra 1 1/2 inches

oil changes once a week, cause I burn oil like a ****

new Plat. sparks about 1 month ago

new fuel pump / regulator 2 weeks ago

new starter / alternator 2 months ago

rebuilt transmission / Nissan Factory Clutch 6 months ago

changed most of my 02 sensors within the last 6 months, Ie: front/rear bank sensors, also cold start sensor & timing sensor

My MAX is running like a dream and smoking v-6 accords like Chong smokes blunts

All this nonsense about rev limiters?????

I've taken my car up to 150 about 3/4 inch past the 140mph mark on Cali's 73 toll road about 2 o'clock in da morn (after all my mods)

I've never touched the ECU!

I also pulled up a car fax report on my MAX before I bought it from the Nissan Dealer used about 1 1/2 years ago.

The report stated that my car had been bought and maintained in Cali for the life of it.

When I bought the car, I had my mechanic check it out, he said that nothing looked like it had ever been altered on the car. All seals looked good and untouched.

Please explain to me why my MAX was able to reach this insane speed??(keep in mind I have no suspension) all stock!



PS. I dont reccomend testing your car out at that speed if u have stock suspension, (SHAKES BAD)

 

Semantics.

Look at the following two sentences, and decide for yourself which type of transmission is implied:

I was going about 45 when I shifted into third gear

I was going about 45 and it shifted into third gear

I recognize your point about the term, but it's usage and context are what JDawg is referring to. IMO. Unless I'm misunderstanding him.

 

Good god ... I'm a human and I made a mistake. If I weren't a moderator, you think this assinine conversation would be going on? I doubt it.

Fine ... I manually shifted. But even then, that's implying I have a 5 speed. Please, JdawgX enlighten me on the correct term for putting my shifter to 1 and then gunning it to redline then shifting it to 2 and then gunning it to redline and then shifting finally to D.

Manually shifting? Shifting manually? Moving the shifter manually? What? Please ... someone tell me so I can be a better moderator and use the correct terms.

 

As a matter of fact yes. If some punk pulls up and tries you I bet you'd run him. SC or not.

 

The man knows the truth though.

 

We can't speak for the guy losing to an Accord V6 but I know I won't lose.

 

Pardon, but is your best quarter mile still a 15.62, and are you referring to the GTP or the Accord when you say you won't lose...?

 

Well I have beaten several V6 Accords in my 97Auto from a start up to 80 mph or so. that top end power did not kick in on the Accord as he couldnt catch me. I have literally killed some in my 02SE auto!

 

Great! Now ditch Ugly 5.0 and lose some weight and you'll be running 12's in no time. I always knew you were a hypocrite, this just adds more proof. What happened to "we put blood, sweat and tears into this website whine whine whine Mikey's picking on me" hahahaha. I guess everyone who's unhappy with their car should go out and find some fool to run into.

 

ok well i have a stock 97 gxe. It's all stock. do u guys think it really needs a tune up, i just had to put in a new battery, and it just had it's 60k mile check up. how much would a tune up run me if i was to ge one?

 

but the accord's hp peaks @ 5500, not higher than the maxima's 5600rpm or maybe vtec gives it better highend powercurve. Maybe its the 10hp difference or the stupid nissan tranny.

 

Clee130, just ignore all the shi!t talkers your doing a fine job and since when is there requirements for a moderator.


Turb0****ey, why don't you take your trolling vtec'd a$$ on to the rice, rice baby! forums and quit starting BS. The maxima kills accords in looks and speed.

 

i agree

 

I agree also...ignore the **** talking...

Back to topic, I raced a v6 coupe from a stop light and I slowly pulled on it. We went to about 70 or so but had to stop cuz of a stop light. I was about a little less than 1/4 car length ahead. I have a I30t which is about 150lbs heavier than the max, so I dont think the maxima will have any problems with a V6 accord. Comptech recently came out with a supercharger for the accord, it runs a 14.9, how sad... nothing a NA 5pd max with ypipe and hybrid intake can't do

P.S. Anyone sick of their 5spd tranny and want to trade me?

 

That's terrible, I hope that is for the non-v6 model. Do you guys think I can take a V6 accord?

 

u dont know how to drive

 

first time the vtec was developed it wasnt for performance reasons

 

Smells like somebody $hit in Jdawg's cereal, give clee a break man, he's not God you know he made an honest mistake. Back on topic, I have beat a few V6 Accords on the street before, but I don't consider it a true kill until I get the joy of BEATING one on the track. And yeah me thinks the VTEC was originaly developed for fuel economy.

Funny $hit

 

- I think that the kid's engine needs some new plugs and a tranny swap. I kept my stock spark plugs in for the Nissan-recommended 60k miles and they were totally dead. The car felt significantly slower to me for the last 5,000 miles or so. I swapped in some Bosch Platinum Plus 4's and the thing feels awesome. Its a lot peppier, throttle response is crisp, and it pulls much harder up top. I'm going to swap the plugs every 35,000 miles from now on.
- The "Automagic" tranny didn't exactly help the guy. I drove an auto Max once and I hated it. The gears were WAY too tall for my taste - it just wouldn't scoot in any gear. I prefer my five cogs over the auto's four.
- The Accords may have VTEC, and they may have a higher peak hp, but they are not faster. Keep in mind that they also have a SOHC head design. I drove one once and hated it in comparison to my Max. There just really is something special about the VQ... maybe its the way the torque is delivered, or something to that effect - but the VQ sixes just plain romp on every other six cylinder powered car I have ever driven (I just wish that it pulled harder past 5200). The only one I ever liked was a ride-along in a BMW Z3 with the 2.8L straight six. Its power delivery was similar to the Max's, it just pulled harder up top. Here's a list of the other sixes I can remember driving:

Accord V-6 Coupe
Toyota Camry V-6
Ford Taurus
Chrysler 300M (3.5L, 253hp too!)
Pontiac Grand Prix (3.8L n/a)
Jaguar S-Type 3.0
Chevy Malibu (hah!)


- Well, that's my two cents. Now go change your spark plugs.
