If that's the case why do they make adjustable lower control arms for many popular vehicles. A lot of people also use them nsyc with coilovers . Or people like me running ground controls or those that just run a lowring spring

 

you guys actually believe that promo vid? If you can find a 3rd gen in good condition go and compare that to your beam rear. If you done believe me go look up up the difference between the B13 and B14 sentras they have identical setups to maximas.

even thou its one of the better beam setups, its not good for cornering especially tight corners.

 

Pictures of stock looking vehicles, something never seen before nice

 

that LW flywheel does make a difference bro... like i said, i dont really care for all these DA corrections, white car ran 14.9@92 and red car 14.7@92... yea im sure the red car makes more power and have trapped higher but im gonna have to call a spade a spade lol

 

Yea as i was saying its setup for stability. With the slight toe in creating understeer. People give understeer a bad rap as far as fun is concerned but it inspires confidence and bravery. It makes a car's limits easier to explore. Up against a couple G's, the Driver mod was in full display thou.

 

Well w/o D/A correction....

Red Car
14.81 @ 92

White Car
15.2 @ 91

Doesn't look so pretty now does it?

 

Power of the Schwartz

Yeah that car is ridiculously shiny. In and out. Showroom.

Honestly looking at times and progression through the day, we were all about as equal as it gets. Considering the difference in the cars, and their condition/mods, that's pretty impressive to consider. And further illustrates the Driver's vs. cars, as we all have the same experience.

Regarding the cars though, Merovi should post his mod list. He went up against a stock '03 G35 Sedan with a broken RSB link and new summer tires, and a stock '12 G37 Sedan with bald tires.

With his modifications, his times are right where I'd expect in comparison to the G's. I was impressed almost equally with Rochester's G37 sedan. Considering the time of 46.xx was just the beginning of what that car is capable of on the track once you shut off trac control. Nevermind his bald tire factor.

 

I have 10,000ft DA's sometimes.

 

aackshun you said that both cars had similar mods, but one cat with a 3" catback LWFW and pulley is no where near "similar" to one equipped with stock parts lol.. yes, i do see the "6mph" difference

 

the white car has a HF-Cat like the red car did.

Both cars are using the same intake, maf, obx headers and same wheels.... even the same lights and same other stuff too the more I think about it

And when I say same... I literally mean I took the part off of the red car and put it on the white one

BTW the 6MT LW flywheel is 3lbs lighter than a stock 5MT flywheel... And the pulley is what... like 1-2lbs lighter?

So I saved 5lbs off of the crank... A decent difference but not 6MPH..... But combined w/ tranny and 3" catback.... Hrmmm....

Also I got the same 60's on all of my best runs... low 2.3s (2.31, 2.33) in the white car, high 2.2s (2.29s) in the red.

 

the G37 with some small suspension mods, springs, struts, and camber adjustments, it can be a pretty quick car.

 

not for the red car... it has a 3" catback LWFW and a LW pulley and only 1mph more than the white car??

 

The red car coasted for about 400ft on the 14.81 run

All of my best runs in the red car have been cursed.

Limp mode on the 14.81 run

And when I was gettin the 09 maxima @ the track I missed 3rd gear.

BRB lemme look up the 1/8th miles, it's like a .3 difference.

 

So what times are you putting down in the 1/8th mile. Going to the nearest track in my area and it 1/8th mile only. Wondering what times I should expect?

 

i get what you are saying theoretically, but thats not a good way to judge the mods... the LWFW causes the car to rev faster so being 3lbs lighter in the 5MT still doesnt have the same effect as if the 5MT had a LWFW, that would be like saying if a honda motor was lighter then it should perform the same as the VQ30 or 35... when there is more variables to take into consideration, so while its only a 3lb difference the mass weight it lifts causing the car to rev faster is a far more superior difference...

also you just said 2.3 in the white car n 2.2 in the red car which can easily be that 1mph you picked up in the ET... this a car with a 3" and the other without

 

9.5 is my best 1/8th in red.

9.8 is my best 1/8th in white.

Take what you want from those.

 

I don't get your comparison, but I understand what you mean.... 5lbs off of a crank is somewhat of a difference, I had to launch around 3500 on the track w/ street tires vs 2100-2200 when I went from 5mt to 6mt.

The best 60 ft's in the cars do not differ more than 5 hundreths (.05).

Also guess what's coming up.... a dyno!

 

you can say all you want and what you want but fact of the matter is, both cars are similar if not the white car gets the edge for being faster.. make all kinds of theoretical assumption you want, pick and pull all the extreme throughout the run all you want... the fact of the matter is the white car trapped 1mph less than the red car with significantly less mods... and you are dissapointed in that??? id be more dissapointed with the red car
how is his 1/8th mile in his 3.0 help you guess a time for ur auto 3.5 with different mods???

Yup, stock car for sure

 

lo.. you only want to look at it as 5lbs off the crank, but i look at it as 5lbs off the crank and possibly 20+whp through the powerband tuned or untuned between cars and both of those makes the world of a difference but your red car only managed to pull out 1mph more...

there is no comparison, you made it a comparison, so if im to go with your comparison im simply saying you are being biased between cars... you wanted the white car to get similar times as the red one with significantly less mods and worse 60'...

 

* stock looking but nice mod list

Sleeping in till 11 AM...




Except now I feel like I've wasted half of the day.

 

#1 thought you had coilovers lol

#2 i dont count brake pads a mod lol... the only good thing about hawk pads is the little to no brake dust left on your wheel after braking but thats definately not a "mod" lmao

 

Brent Spinner ownes a G??? wtf

 

Was just wondering never ran the 1/8th or on a track with a working timer for that matter
Every Friday and Saturday night I go that damn clock anit working haha

 

you know asking him that is like me asking chester what 1/4 times he ran in his G so i have an idea what my DEK runs right??? lol... you guys dont even have the same engine or chassis cars lol... you dont thinkg the motor and the weight of the cars would make the times significantly different and 0 comparison factors???

 

I think you're missing the point.... on the 14.81 run the red car C O A S T E D for 400ft, the 1000 ft trap speed was lower than every other time I've ran so I'm assuming for at least 320 ft the red car was without power.

I'm just saying the white car is a bit slower than I thought it would be.

We'll see what it dynos....

CHOCOLATESTRAWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

 

Maybe he wants to run the red car with it's infamous TQ happy 3.0?

 

even if the car coasted the whole 1/4... all im saying it, this isnt not a fair comparison... too many other random "IF" factors... we dont know what the times wouldve been in the red car "IF" this and that, i think the times are correct... both cars trap a lil low for my taste but thats a factor that equals itself out....
my auto DEK trapped 93mph with just intake and EVOII catback lol and constant 91-92mph

 

 

@Hustle Wife setting dat ting we spoke bout up tonight when she gets home.
@Aackshun where does the shorter control arm bolts go on the 97 they all pretty much work but i know theres a different length for summin?
@Crusher do you still have that brake bracket diagram you posted awhile ago?
@ 4th Gen section yall loosers making me have to struggle

 

Thought he own a 5.5 also and just wanted to know his 1/8th . Wasn't trying to compare or make a guess on what I would run... just wanted to know lol is that a crime haha

 

Copied and pasted from Rochester's old mod list. I'm sorry I didn't clean it up for you personally

 

wanting to know is simply asking what he ran, but you went on to say what you think you should expect when you ran so thats a comparison...

hey aacksun what did you run in the 1/8
vs
hey aackshun what did you run in the 1/8th mile so i have an idea what to expect is another

 

just quoting what i saw you quote lol... i didnt know chester said that
