how much damage does that really do?

 

How much? I don't think anyone can actually measure it guy, but I do know that it puts additional wear and tear on your clutch. That still doesn't stop me from doing it when I feel like it. Then again I do have a centerforce waiting.

 

well not really looking for a messure...but i mean i've only had the car for 2 days..and in those 2 days, i've hit about 5k rpm, dropped to second, and it chirped. the last thing i want is to have a slipping clutch in a few months, ya know. gotta chill with the over reving i guess

 

I wonder if there is any difference when I chirp in 3rd???

The only advice i can give you is stop abusing it. Because no matter how strong the car is it will fall apart sooner if u run it hard. There is nothing bad in chirping 2ng but doing it a lot is not good.

 

guess it's the answer i was looking for. gotta behave....thank you my good man

 

you shouldnt be reving your new car that high yet anyway.

ive never been able to chirp into 3rd

 

i just picked up my 2K02 SE loaded with HLSD, and by *accident* i chirped 2nd at like 4500 RPMS. I cant wait to break in this car! she only has 100 miles on it! then again, i only got it last night!

 

What! Newman, you should be able to chirp 3rd? Powershift from 2-3 and u definately chirp.

PoLo - Newman is right if you just bought your car you still have to break it in man. Talk about premature wear & tear.

 

ok, did you just have a conversation with me w/out me knowing..

anywayz, it's been 2 days and so far, i've been good...haven't passed 3k rpm, and it has 385 miles on it...she just got her first car wash (sucks to live near construction sites) and she be a shinin....SEXY!!!...dance for me...

 

i cant powershift from 2nd to 3rd. my shifter basically wont let me. it never enguages if i try to powershift. i just end up grinding the hell out of it.

 

you dont need to powershift third gear to chirp unless you cant drive a stick! LOL, this car has so much power and torque, chirping 3rd is cake! and, i only did it once, but i will NOT beat on my car till she has oveer 1K on it....

 

What is powershifting?

 

It's when you keep your foot planted on the gas when you change gears.


The easiest way to chirp 3rd is to shift at about 5500 RPM, I can always get it to chirp there.

 

i tried it last night when i went out. finally i can nail the 2-3 shift without messing it up but i still didnt get a chirp out of my car. had the gas to the floor when i shifted. maybe i shifted too late. it was probably closer to 6500 than 5500.

i could search but my computer is slow as **** so it wouldnt be worth it so ill ask you ethan. what are the supposed optimal shift points for the 6-speed?

 

Depends on your cars power band, you would need to dyno to know. For me my car peaks at 6200 RPM and my tach is 400 RPM fast, so I shift at about 6600 rpm. My car holds 200 FWHP until 6350 so sometimes I even shift at 6700 RPM

 

I thought people were BSing when they said they were chirping the shift to 3rd, but I'm a believer now (with lift-throttle shifts!!). The shift into 2nd is more like a squawk that a chirp. Don't really think it does too much damage, but wouldn't recommend it on a daily basis-and powershifts are a definite no.

 

man i tried it again this afternoon. i can basically peel out in 2nd gear. really light up those tires. but i cant get so much as a squeek when shifting to 3rd. im sure its just my shifting skills. maybe ill get the 2-3 chirp in a little bit of time.

 

ive become obsessed with this.

i was thinking....do you think my HLSD has anything to do with me not being about to chirp into 3rd?

 

Uh Oh...not that argument again! As far as chirping in 3rd? How hard is that in the Max? Chirping in 2nd is sooo easy. I remember when I first drove my friend's 4th gen. I chirped in 2nd w/o even really trying! Gotta love that torque...enjoy it, and then get a new clutch!

 

You really have to know how to shift fast. Going from 2 to 3rd on the 6spd maxima tranny is hard to do quick. once you learn it's pretty easy, just don't bust the braket off your tranny like I did

The HLSD may make it even harder to do or it may make it impossible, I don't really know.

 

I can chirp 3rd.

 

No freaking way. My 02 has the HLSD, and I have chirped third with NO problem. I dont understand why you cant. Punch it in 2nd till redline, and bang third <CHIRP>. works for me!

 

LOL Newman you are crackin me up here. I think your HLSD has nothing to do with it. If anything its better..... instead of leaving a mark of one wheel burnout(like my car) you'll leave two!

 

ah. this isnt fair i need someone to do it in my car to show there is hope for me

maybe someday.....
