kilograms

I don't know about the 00 Max but the 02 weighs (according to nissandriven.com) 3320 with a MT. That would put it about 1505kg. The manual says to use 60kg for driver (132 lbs.) and 70kg for fuel. So unless you weigh a lot or the fuel weight is wrong, I think you need to lower that number.

no mine on the side of the car says 4333lbs I weigh 135 and I added for extra cargo and fuel which brought it to 1999kg which I rounded up to 2000kg instead of 1990kg. I only went with what's on the side.

Doesn't it just remove your speed limiter at this point?

Ok, here's an interesting point...the 4333lbs on the side is the GVWR. In the maxima brochure, they list the curb wieght at 3224lbs for the 6spd SE. What's the difference?????
(What is the GVWR??)

yes it removes your speed limiter but also does other stuff that I haven't done yet. like getting rid of some loss power if I read that right. As for the weight I know a auto weighs more than a 5 spd but I don't think by that much.

3250 is a good estimate on the weight of the car.

GVWR is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and I believe is a maximum estimate of weight (probably assuming 4 passengers, luggage, etc.).

You don't gain any power from the RSM, it is only a gauge. What you read was about the G-sensor, which will detect wheel spin and give you a much more accurate power reading.

like I said (if I read right) it's new and I am just finding stuff out.

new tire diameter divided by stock tire multiplied by 100

EXP skyline R33 factory tire is
225/50-R16 dia. 632mm
new tire 245/45-R17 dia 652mm

652mm diveded by 632mm X 100 =103 103 is the corrections number that's what you would put. You need to measure your tires.
as for the did you get the g-sensor it only works with the g-sensor.
