Check these out- the last race is my buddy in the dodge ram...

I am over 1 mile above sea level.. corrected time is 15.2

 

wow! 16 sec quarter mile times!

 

ya i know its not very fast... im trying

 

Yikes, my 3.0 can get better time than that.

 

How are you running 16s with an 02?

 

Definatly seems a little slow even my auto with intake and exhaust ran 14.8

 

What altitude are you at?

 

1,048 M (3,438 FT)
I dont think taht winter tires are helping me though. I get a bit of wheelspin in 1st and going to 2nd...

 

are you gate shifting?

 

Corrected times for FRI August 7th in Calgary w/ 5148FT Density altitude:

15.24 E/T
87.47 MPH

15.44 E/T
86.89

Hmm...even after correction though, your times and MPH are still quite low...

 

And who's advice was you following???... if its the cold air injen intake, i say take it off, sell it, and get yourself a good homemade short ram intake

 

what was your 60' ?

 

60's were 2.77 2.64 2.72 and I was just letting the transmission shift on its own.
hmm I think I can modify the injen to work as a short pipe...

 

No wonder, you need to manual shift it right at 6600. How are you launching? You should be using the power brake then half gas until you loose some of the wheel spin then just floor it. Takes a bit to get it right though.

 

cool thanks for the tip, ill try that next time

 

I agree. Foot brake to 2000 then full throttle after you roll out a little. A drop resistor mod would help out a lot as well! Easier on the tranny and it shifts faster. Like was said above...manually shifting the auto allows you to get another 500 to 600 rpms out of the gear.

 

Also...Rear tires inflated to almost max psi. front tires down to 20psi.

 

drop resistor? is that like the trango shift kit?

 

Easily!!! I had a 00 Maxima w/16" five spoke wheels and 02-03 front calipers/rotors and they fit really close but they fit!
Part of your problem is your launch...stump on the yellow! Take your MAF/w the adapter, cone filter and your Oem mid pipe and oem resonator and run that instead of the Injen intake (it's too long for 1/4 mile running, it's built for low-mid range rpm). Don't smoke your tires IMO....and power brake from at least 1500 rpm...GL.

 

yeah get that 60' down and you should be getting better results..

 

Its like a switchable version that's cheaper. The transgo kit modifies the valvebody of the tranny to shift quicker. The drop resistor mod is a switch hooked up to the tranny shock tower resistor. Turn resistor off for fast shifts and back on again for normal shifting. Disabling allows full fluid pressure in the tranny. Many ways to do it...Install a simple switch or a switch under the accelerator pedal that disables the resistor at wot. For the 5th gens it causes a check engine light that I just reset after track use. Look at jime's write up in the nitrous stickies. He swears by the drop mod.

 

ya i just practiced some shifting on the highway and I think I can get a bit faster holding it in 2nd gear longer

 

Time for a turbo!

 

its not a track, its a drag strip.

 

samething dude

 

maximas aint straight machines, so a track for us is where you take corners. if you drive an american muscle, thats another thing.

 

our maximas need some bracing for corners. With the front wheel drive we have bad understeer. The maxima is good for a straight line but deff not the best choice on a road course.

 

I think theres quite a few people who would disagree with you on here.

 

pretty brutal dude.
practice makes perfect.
good luck

 

dragstrip = racetrack

 

the definition for a closed road coarse (track) is not defined on whether you have an import or domestic... it is a closed road coarse... a track, a nascar ring "track", auto-x "track", drag strip "track" just different kinds of tracks, one a straight line, one a ring, one a curvy road, all in all a track... the reason im conitnuing this whole track thing is because even if it wasnt a track, you know what he was talking about, your post had no significance to the thread and i guess you felt as though it was the most important input to emphasize you personal opinion of a track because i guess u "track"...

 

"WOW thats slow!"

Ease up guys.. im sure the guy knows its not record times. So what?
He posted videos for entertainment.. something to check out.
Not to get dogged for slow times.

Thanks for posting the vids

 

nice vid...but do not disgrace our cars with such bad times rofl

my stock auto 3.0 ran a 15.8 so you have no excuse

 

obviously the two previous posters have a problem reading and should get that post count taken away........... if you had any idea about elevation and drag strip you would understand... if he was at ur elevation he would have kicked ur **** because it was calculated by someone on here to be a 15.2 run at regular elevation... i did 15.0 with my auto 2000 with ebay intake and greddy catback, so whats your point??? how does that compare to the OP's runs???

 

Genius post. Go play in traffic.

 

Bottomline, practice on your launch! Concentrate on your sixty foot/RT times and all other times will reduce drastically...20-24 psi in the fronts, let the trans shift on it's own, leave it in 3rd gear....powerbrake @1500 rpm and leave on the last yellow light. My 03 stock best time was a 14.9 sec/1/4 mile and my rt and 60' were horrible. Don't heat your tires either you don't have drag radials...GL

 

Good job reading the thread buddy...
I am over 1 mile above sea level.. corrected time is 15.2

Just wait guys, my headers and NWP plate are shipped, exhaust is still on back order... these times will improve. Saving up for 75 shots and full kit.

Next spring I will replace winter tires with street and there should be a pretty big launch difference with the increased traction.

 

Maybe you should've explained that in the first post, I didn't read the whole thread, I read the first post and replied. I don't go through threads and read every post, I have a life thanks. idiot

 

No problem reading, some of us have a life and girlfriends that look like models that need our attention more than trolling on forums, thanks.

 

Wow yea something is definitly wrong with his car. Bro you E-brake stuck on, I mean 16's my honda odessey did a 16.3 lol.
