dam i just keep getting better, with more miles on the car so i guess more broken in, i ran my car one last time.. new best 14.21 at 97 mph with a 2.0 60ft... previous best was a 14.48.. dropped the tire presure to 24.5, everybody said they where hooking up great so i figured id try something different.. usualy ill get the rpms up to 2300 light will turn green jump off the brake give it some gas when i feel like i have traction nail it.. this time rpms up light turned green nailed it right off the line... i got the perfect amount of wheel spin and just hooked and went, i also did this with the shifter in tiptronic leaving it in first gear and letting it shift.. usualy i leave it in drive.. i was shocked as hell... now i think im #2 in the top 10 fastest times, i think one person beat my time so far.. i dont at all think i have a freak but i do think the hp rating in these cars are highter than they say.. now lets hope the altima se-r thats coming out cant beat our maximas...

great times man, I'm trying to hit the track this week. you where able to dump it off the line and didn't get to much wheel spin, that's fu*kin awesome. I'll try your approach and hope my times get better.

good time hope u even do better if u go again

Where's the slip?

ga2000

ill get it to u somehow.. lol theres no trust in the world anymore lol..

Based on my limited experience in boulevard sprints, I'm inclined to believe you. But you must be aware that not only are you one of the fastest known 6th gens...

When you say bone stock, you mean factory exhaust, factory intake etc? Window tint is your only mod?

and before the 6th gen came out people were saying the 5.5's would be faster. i want the 6th gen hp rating.

ga2000

i also have a k@n drop in filter if u call that a mod. but other wise bone stock ..........

bluemaxx

BTW 14.21 would make you a solid #1.
Top 10 - Fastest 6th Generation Maximas In The Known Universe

Way to roll, ga2000!!! I just knew there was no way the 6th Gen was that much inferior, like all the "haters" keep claiming! And you're pushing a 5-sp auto too!!! That's even that much more impressive!!! I did take notice that most of the top 10 times posted in that thread are from automatics--what's up w/ that? Is that indicative of manual drivers not knowing how to shift or is the auto really up to par w/ the 6-sp? Who knows? But, I'll say that I know for sure that my MAX can fly! --Despite what everyone else says... And I too have a K&N filter! When do you plan on cleaning it? I know you're not going to wait until the suggested cleaning interval as recommended by K&N, are you?

MaxAtack

Order some HS Headers and you won't want the 6th gen anything!

Btw, nice times!

Holy **** !! A 2.0 60' is something that the 5.5 gens can't possibly seem to do with either tranny on street tires.

I wish you fokkers would go dyno your cars and post the run files.
Also, when any of you 6th gen drivers post that you have an auto you need to specify which one for reference. That makes it easier for the rest of us to pick out the trend which I think will show the 5 speed auto dominating.

ga2000

thanks bro ... i would have to say that the 6spd has to be hard to launch.. it should run same or better times than a 5spd auto.. or maybe its just better from a role.. who knows. in all honesty ive never driven a 6spd maxima. i knew the car moved but i didnt think it would do 14.2, than again i didnt think it would hit a 14.4 either after my first 14.6.. especialy my first run ever with the car being a 15.6 with nothing but tire smoke lol.. the first day i took my car to the track i ran all 15s, 15.6 a 15.1 and a 15.2 with 2.5 60fts that was last august in 90 degree weather but if i knew how to launch it i should have still gotten atleast high 14s in that heat and humidity i was so ****ed... the k&n drop in "which in my eyes doesnt do a dam thing performance wise" i clean it every 5000 miles i havent cleaned it yet its been on for about 2500.. i just make sure i dont oil it alot just enough.. again thanks its all about learning your car..

ga2000

5spd auto for me. im sure the 4spd isnt that much different, my friends father has the sl with the 4spd i think i should drive it and see. but now all maximas have the 5spd sl and se so they should run evan.. i only had one 2.0 60ft that day.. the rest where 2.1s. so i would have to say 2.0s arent commen but the 2.0 was on my last run i wanted to run again but they where closing..

We may need to start including mileage when we say "stock". Because in every case I have seen the VQ35 makes noticeably more power at 15k miles than it does at 1000 miles.

Are you using Amsoil 5W-30 yet?

Nice time. I gotta get my modded 6th gen to the track to see how I fare against the stock ones.

Already had mine dynoed. I don't think these cars are producing more than 265hp - trust me. My dyno with a Stillen intake and Greddy SP II exhaust was was only putting 213-215 to the wheels in both runs with 227 torque at 6K rpms. I asked my tech why he only ran it at 6K and not 6.5 redline but he said he didn't wanna risk the motor. May get it redynoed. But first I need to get a helmet and get my butt to the track

Again great times ga2000 !!!

BTW here's a pic of Injen's dyno on their website - not sure if they were running with exhaust or not - mine is pretty comparable to theirs. I will post pics of my dyno when I charge up batteries to my digi.

That is what sucks about shops that dyno customers cars. Everyone take note: learn where your rev limiter is on your tach. Keep in mind that your tach may not be perfectly accurate and the rev limiter may actually be past what the tach is saying. When you take your car in to dyno make sure you run it all the way up and stop right before it hits the limiter. If someone else is dynoing the car make sure you specify to them exactly what to rev the car too. Otherwise you're going home with an incomplete dyno chart.

There is absolutely no good reason you should lose a stock engine from doing this. If for some one in a million chance your engine blows (being stock) then your ish was defective to begin with and Nissan needs to replace it.

ive had the car for a year now and i only have 8100 miles on it..

SR2oden - Thanks for the info on running a correct dyno - wish I had known that before I went in. I was a dyno rookie

I ran 14.3 a while back and since I put on the injen and 19s I cant get better than a 14.7 so I think the wheels drastically slowed me down. I also got the best time when i had a k&n panel so I think im gonna make my intake a hybrid using the top injen piece and the airbox with the k&n and see if it changes my times. Im also getting rid of the 19s and putting the oem wheels and tires back on. we will see what happens.

how much did your traps suffer due to the big rims?

Hey 6th geners, just fyi a guy over at acura-tl.com ran his 2004 Acura TL. He ran a best of 14.9 in the quarter, the rest of his times were between 15.0-15.2.
Anyway it's great to see these quarter mile runs.

ga2000

my friend has an 04 tl auto stock, his best time is a 14.8 and he cant do it again lol. his avg time is 15.2s and 15.3s. i heard the 6spd will do low 14s though..

The reason the 6th gen SE autos can run low 14's stock is due to their 5speed tranny. . . I think if the 5th gen came with the 5speed automatic, the times would not be far off.

Yep you are right the best I can muster off is a 14.6 in my stock auto, but we will be able to sorta prove what it would have been able to do with 5spd auto with the 05 Altima auto. I cant wait to see what the 05 Altima 5spd autos are running.

F23A4

....and I always bog down at the same point: 2-3 shift. It's like the motor is saying "come on! let's go!" but the tranny is saying, "take it easy. we'll get there!".

But, I'm also eager to see if the new Alti 3.5SE 5AT (250hp/249lb-ft) runs as quick as the 6G.

Hey, Wisky97SE...I sure do like your '97 MAX!!! Sweet lookin'! Though I've ALWAYS been a MAX fanatic, I don't usually comment on the older (4th Gen - below) MAXs too much...but I really like yours. Looks like you kept it in good shape...the color, the window tint, the fit/finish...all looks put together really well...@ least from what I can tell from your pic. Coming from me, that's a compliment. There's not too many older MAXs out there that impress me (some look "over-cooked", others, not enough done to them), but yours definitely caught my eye...classy... I'm originally from NJ also...mid-south, Ft. Dix/McGuire/Mt. Holly area...little place called Pemberton... Where exactly is Bergen County?

Hope we will see soon because it really is true test to see what the 02/03 would have did with the 5spd auto, I'm sure it will put down similiar if not better since the times arent that far off with the 02/03 vs 04 5spd autos in general. You are right the 02/03 auto pull like hell in 2nd gear but the tranny.
