Question to all in this 11 page thread. Now the claim is the 255 Hp rating is actually dynoing at say 205ish. The Altima is rated 240, and is putting down 205ish too right? So what you are saying is the max should have more hp than an altima. My only thing here is that is a totally different car. The exhaust system is going to be differnt, maybe their headers flow better than ours, maybe the ports are a bit larger, maybe the gear ratio is a bit different. How about tire size? do they run 225/50/17's? maybe their overall tire dia. is different causing a different final drive ratio.
I know all the cars of today have their HP rating at the crank, and to get one done you need to take the engine out, and that is costly just to dyno. I cannot find somebody to mandrel bend me some steel let alone do a flywheel dyno. I dyno'd my 2K1 last weekend, and got my 20% loss of hp through the trans and exhaust. That crushed resonator? what is up with that? has anyone crawled under a Altima and looked at their exhaust system? Is it the same as ours?
I just think these are 2 different cars, and cannot be compared as such. Yes you bought a 255 hp maxima, dynoed runs 205, I bought a 222 hp max, and dynoed 174 hp. But that was understood as a flywheel rating. I think the Altima guys just got lucky with the ability to put down the same numbers, with maybe less loss in their system.
Besides, I bought my Max because the interior was nicer, the look and feel was nicer than that of the Altima.
Just my .02
have fun, and prey for Snow!

and chi02max, it would be most helpful to have stock number to compare that to, maybe your car dynoes lower then other maximas i can't really say, but when you get yoru stock dyno done soon i'll be very interested in seeing it.

I agree totally, i bought the maxima over the altima because to me the maxima is a much nicer care, esp. inside.....15 horsepower? whatever

This is impossible. HP is computed from torque at a given RPM therefore if both the Maxima and Altima are rated at the same torque at the same RPM, they have the same HP (ie same motor).

...But we all know that isn't the case since they have basically the same curve

not that that had much to do with anything anyway, the most accurate numbers we are gonna get are from the auto's. they both are the same tranny with the same 240 hp engine and guess what they both put down about 192-196hp at the wheels. the 6-spd is good for consistency in low numbers but the auto numbers are gonna be undenialbe for nissan.

I'd rather get enough cash in return to regain that 15HP, that way Nissan won't be too much farther from ever making a really good tranny.

Also, a lawyer will tell you ANYTHING to get a case, expecially if part of it is billable hours or retainer driven until a settlement. I don't recall seeing anywhere that a lawyer has or even gave an idea that he/she will work on this as a contingency.
Horsesh!t, by the way, is statements and comments like yours, not those of us who level headedly are simply stating FACTS!!!

With the type of case this is, you basically only take it if it is winable. We all win find out if it is possible to win when the lawyer talks with the automotive engineer.

What the hell does my literacy have to do with the fact that the lawyer has to look for an automotive engineer to go over dynos? As I stated in other threads...255 is bench HP, not real world figures based upon ESTIMATED parasitic losses. Unless you want to rip the engine out of your car to prove the crank HP is underrated, good luck.
You happen to know the lawyer very well...that right there makes it different than us trying to find one. His responsiveness to you is ALREADY BIASED and not what would be found 'cold calling'
I believe you need remedial LEGAL 101 if you don't think that is the way of the world. Lawyers will often take cases they may not think are outright 'winable', but will undertake them with sights set on settlements.
ps: I think YOU need to remove head from **** region and spend some time in the real world.

(to all) dont reduced this to personal attacks, this thread wont do anyone any good locked or trashed...
Instead of pointing out someone's deficiencies in understanding the law, why not bring some fact instead?

j/k sorry, just trying to justify the correctness of this case, we all know that the 255 h/p is based on the crack not at the wheels. So for everyone who is interested in getting what they want this thread is for you

My dad has the new Hyundai Sonata, which was marketed as 181 hp, but turns out to be only like 170hp...
Anyway, Hyundai sent him a letter of apology shortly after purchase, along with a form giving us 3 options
#1 increase 10/100,000 year to 12/120,000 year powertrain warranty
#2 increase 5 year 60,000 bumper to bumper to 7 year 72,000 bumper to bumper
#3 unlimited roadside assistance
Just thought you guys might be interested in this for comparison... Fight for what you believe you paid for!!!!

Jeez, leave Nissan alone. Whatever it makes the 3.5L VQ delivers the most unbeatable blend of quiet, power, low-end torque, reliability, affordability (makes shareholders happy too), and good sounds of any V6 in its price-class.

Don't waste time
Hi, guys,
Just write a certified letter to Nissan Marketing Dept.
Ask them to assure that 2002 Nissan Maxima is indeed 255 HP,
ask them to have an assurance letter back in one week. I mean how
long does it take to type "Yes, it is." ? If they don't response,
keep your cetified letter receipt and do it again ubtil they
response, in the mean time, keep all the certified letter receipts
for later court actions.
Come on! They've been selling these things for years, they should
know better than anyone of us, and should know right on the spot
when the question been asked.
Once we got the assurance letter from Nissan, we can start
collecting all Dyno evidences to see if they match to what Nissan
has replied. Then we start from there.
Don't call them, write to them, talk does nothing, and it's
useless when you get on the court.
I think it's time for consumers to teach all these American Corps
one thing ------------ "Stop Lying!"

If they reply "Yes, it is!", then we need some evidence (collected by ourselves, not Nissan) to back it up. Then we will start thinking about court action if the assurance does not match to our result.
Let's see what they say first (in writting) !

Re: Why don't we sue Nissan for our 15hp? (2k2 Guys)
Sorry to be an Idiot guys, but I have been away from the .ORG for like 3 months. I just got my cable internet connection in my new place and I am back in action. What is this deal with the missing hp?
Someone mind explainin it to me. I got a 2k3 SE auto and I was wondering myself why it didnt seem that powerful. I added an INJEN CAI and it helped, but im not sure about the power claims. It still kinda struggles after the 1-2 shift. I would be more than willing to help with the lawsuit, but I need to be brought up to speed before I can contribute.
Thanks

Write that letter
If someone will write that certified letter and get that taken care of (perferably have the layer write it) I will gladly shell out for the dyno. I have a 6 speed, and its got an intake/midpipe, but I'll put the stock system back on if its justified.

I thought we were finally through with this thread.
