As a lot of you know i'm new to the drag racing scene. Last year I was all stock and the best I was able to achieve was a 15.5 Well that was last year. Over the past couple of months I've added a few bolt on's and I must say she made me proud. Unfortunately due to my inexperience and adrenalin rush I messed up my engine.

But you all should definitely take a look and my astonishing 14.2 on just bolt on's no tune. Oh and excuse my screaming. I was shocked with my accomplishments


Unfortunately all didn't end well. Due to my inexperience and adrenalin rush I messed up my engine

 

What did you do to your engine man?

 

I down shifted doing 90+ mph from 3rd to 2nd by accident and as a result of that my oil light came on indicating that the engine is leaking oil internally. I checked the oil after that race and it was below the low mark even though I changed my oil lastnight. The tensioners sound like it's about to give out any min.

Today was a big accomplishment because I improved by a whole 1.3 seconds and I manage to do that with no IM spacer and tune. Unfortunately it's going to cost me a new engine

 

 

Damn that sucks, hope you find a good one for the low....

 

whaaaat, doesn't the maxima have a safety that prevents your from down shifting to second at those speeds?

even integras have that feature. How did you even get into second at 90 mph? you should have just grinded the gears not actually get it locked in..

I've seen some guys with stage two clutches who have removed the mechanical safety feature do that and blow their engines, but your maxima? anyways, that is definitely a no no, you are right, a new engine is in order.

 

90 in 2nd gear...

You must've been off on another planet. And you must have the arm strength of Zeus.

My 5.5 flat out refused to go into second at any speeds over 60 MPH.

 

I agree.

I have a 6 spd maxima too and not only that I cant go into second below 60 but I don't down shift. Yeah it sounds good when you do it but its really bad for your transmission. I think the issue here is that people try to install bolt-ons on a car with high mileage without rebuilding the engine first, that's a recipe for disaster. Also you got excited at 14.2... Did you see all that smoke coming out your tail pipe buddy? That's a sign to be easy on your car and rebuild it. You have the mentality of one of those fools that buy 6K wheels and slap them on a 400 dollar car. You make your engine strong before you make it faster, everyone knows that. This proves my suspicions about your mentality.

 

Actually, a proper downshift and engine brake is not bad on your tranny if done properly.

Engage the clutch, rev-match, downshift, and disengage the clutch.

However, if you choose to engine brake and let the syncros do the work of matching the speed of the tranny to the engine. Well then, yes, you have a problem...

Also, putting bolt-ons on a high-mileage car isn't always bad. I replaced my worn-out cats on my G35 with test pipes. That's a bolt-on...and I don't see how that has any negative effect on the car. If anything, it's beneficial...

 

I've taken many engines apart that had high millage on them and that's why I said what I said. Everything is at the end, kinda like hanging on by a thread. Adding stuff to push it even further accelerates that process. I didn't mean all high mileage cars, let me rephrase that. Ive seen some high mileage cars that were taken care of and run better then a lot of newer cars and the internals looked great. His car is smoking, that is not a good sign. If I see that, I take care of my engine first and then add bolt ons, that's all.

 

Jason

You stated in many post that your car was burning alot of oil daily. You should have fixed those issues before pushing it on the track. Your videos clearly showed you need a tensioner replacement and the oil burning could have been other internal issues. Not trying to hammer down on you but make sure your engine is up to par before adding more power to it. I just hate to see a $2,000 expense that could have been advoided. But you did good with the track times. I bet if the engine was better your times would have been better.

 

Just watch the last video man. I was mudering the Audi and the adrenalin and excitment got to me. She made me proud

Did you watch the video when I ran the Audi S4? The oil light came on, dip stick wasn't reading the oil after that run, tensioners got way louder and my mechanic said the engine is leaking oil internally. So I have to get another ASAP. But i'm proud because I gained 1.3 seconds with just a crank pulley,BOP,CAI, and full exhaust.

When the new engine goes in i'll add the spacer kit and get a tune. Hopefully she runs high 13's

 

LMAO!
I have to say from reading your posts and threads the past few months this was 100% expected. Why you would beat on a car with 200k miles on it is beyond me. On top of you knowing you were burning a crap ton of oil and had other issues...

 

Wow dude why don't you just shut the hell up. The issue is he just mis shifted and jacked his engine, that's not going to be cheap, I feel bad for the guy not going to jump his thread and heap crap on him.

Have you even ever been to the track? Talk about mentality issues, you don't like Jason, don't bother opening his thread. Man, it's old.......

 

what tires where urunning up front?

 

I agree. But at the same time the car was running fine until that incident. A lot of guys can say i'm stupid for taking my high mileage car to the track but i've seen people fully rebuild engines with turbo and supercharge and break it in the first run. On the downside, there's nobody who can say they been drag racing and never broke and damage anything. If you don't then you didn't push your car to the limit.

I shocked a lot of people yesterday,dodge,350Z,mustangs and i've accomplished a 1.3 second gain with just a few bolt on's. This is all a learning process for me and i'm soaking it up like a spung. The car is old so i'm not going to baby it. I drive it every day,winter,take it to show and drag her. So to that guy who i'll continue to ignore. Though my engine is old, my car is rice i've done a lot in just a few months.

You have to burn to learn, and that's just how it goes when you go on the track. You break things, and you learn and go forward. But I appreciate the advice.

Yeah bro. He will never stop. You just gotta ignore him because all he contributes to the org is his opinions and criticism. I'll be back with a newer engine for sure.

Let what's his face keep hating, i'll keep improving

 

Hey man those were some nice runs, except of course for the S4.

1st race was a Camaro, not a Mustang, I think got you but couldn't tell.
2nd race, you ripped that Charger of the line. Yeah that smoke isn't a good sign I'm sure.
3rd race Was that an Altima? Close race but you had a awesome start .026 vs .225
4th race Wish we had a better angle on the win over the 350z. Was he stock?

VS Audi = Ouch sorry but maybe it's a good reason to get it totally rebuilt or get a younger one in there.

 

18 lb Drag rims with 245/40R17 drag radials

Yeah I know the engine was bad but not everything last forever man. I actually thought it was a camaro but the commentator said mustang. Don't matter, he had slicks and I still whooped him. The Z had a spacer kit with intake I think. I was pulling on him at the end and he actually admit it. LOL. It felt good to beat a Z man

 

You know in a way, he was probably due no matter what. Rebuild and bolt on or bolt on and rebuild (sooner or later). He just sped up the process against that Audi. Your right with a fresh engine, he may be even better, ask the Birdman (maximusberg) about the potential! Dang 6speeds!

 

got a pic of them?.. i been using my buddies street radials but i wanan get a set of drag radials

 

 

Check my cardomain profile and you'll get a better pic

You got light weight rims too Birdman?

 

Im sorry, I didn't mean to talk smack to your ELover, my bad. Judging by how you call wheels rims, you're a focking idiot too. Don't be mad because I tell it like it is. Make the engine strong before you pile on stupid focking bolt-ons , focking amateurs. Just cause you install some bolts-ons and hit the track don't make you a pro.

 

Why is this guy still commenting on my threads? Dude your opinion isn't wanted here.

 

I have been on this forum for 8 years and this is finally the best post to date. Great job way to make us Maxima owners proud. Don't listen to these haters you did what you wanted to do. I'm so sick and tired of the posts with all the whinners and there transmission troubles, drive chain issues, tires to big, radio doesn't work, struts, exhaust issues. Its refreshing thanks made my day. I have a 2004 se 110k miles and have had no issues, fully stock and love the car.

 

LOL Razzle, maybe you're the elover since you follow mrjasonlyrics where ever he goes. and post in all his threads. Maybe deep down your a fan.

So have you ever been to the track or not? Post the vid, so we can all watch. Or do you have all that time and money into your bolts-ons and your car just sits there.

You're kinda like a back seat driver over here, always "telling it like it is"..... after the fact. Never starting any productive threads of your own, your threads consist of you buying and selling stuff. (probably from not doing your research in the first place, so you buy stuff then sell it. ) Learning like everybody else. Search the threads you have started, you'll see what I'm saying.

Post your race vids, lets see what you got.

 

LOL obviously its that time of the month again

 

Appreciate it man.

Hahahaha. You took the words right out of my mouth. I swear he went through all of my vids and clicked the dislike just outta spite. He contribute nothing except his opinions but yet still he always got something negative to say about my threads.

I first encounted him on youtube, next thing I know he's doing the same on my 6thgen, wasn't too long until he found me here. We been going at it for a min but I just don't have the time for it. He claims he's not envious of my car but he's always finding a fault. Who is Raz76 The guy who gives opinions critic. Who am mrjasonlyrics? I'll let my contributions,vidoes,threads and mods to my car answer that.

But atleast i'm not the only member who notice what he does.

 

Congrats on the major improvement! What were your 60' on those races?

I'm going to take a stab and say that smoke coming out of your exhaust is because you're probably running rich (common after doing a few bolt on's). My advice would be getting your car dyno tuned after you install the spacers and fix the engine or install a new one. Also, are you running a wideband? (Could be good precaution to have)

Good driving though (except the last race.. sh!* happens)

Also, get some headers to do that car justice!

 

It could be anything. I wasn't the first owner of the car so the previous owner probably never maintained the car. After the headers the heavy smoke came but i'm going to order a newer engine, install my 5pc spacer,PCV,spark plugs and get a tune.

As you can tell my car shocked everyone and gaining a 1.3 second with just a few bolt on's is a major accomplishment for me. Thanks the GTA Altima car club.

Oh with my old engine I would of taken that Audi S4. If you notice he passed me after I messed up on my shift. I'm gonna take a stab and say I took out a 350Z. lol. On a whole i'm proud of what I did and i'm just going to take this experience and move forward like a champ

 

I wasnt trying to knock you around jason , no way

I have lots of miles on my car and after my timing chain replacement the car drives better than it did when i brought it. I was surprised at how much power i regained by doing that repair and i wanted to offer my advice to you.

Now since your getting a new motor heres somethings you can do while its in the crate

1) Replace timing chain parts , all of them
2) drop in JWT Cams C2's or better
3) Light weight pulley
4) Intake spacers - Hopefully my brand lol
5) CAI
6) Uprev Tune

You have everything else but this could do you for now. Next would be pistons , turbo and what nots.

Once again great work and it is refreshing to see post like these than the usual tanny engine problems

 

I didn't take any offense to your comment. I'm gonna find a low mileage motor to buy. I can't afford cams at this point because I just spent a whole lot of doe on the bolt on. I already have the lightweight pulley,BOP installed along with the CAI. Got the 5pc from your competitor, sorry. And I don't think i'm getting any uprev because i'm happy with what i'm running now with just what I have, and I could be wrong but I think I read that the uprev won't work with my year.

I will never do turbo or supercharge because I use my car all year around, it's a 7-10K mod done the right way, and it's my only car at the moment. I'm not that rich nor am I a hardcore racer. I'm happy with a 14.2 and with a younger engine, tune, spacers and a little more experience I might just hit that high 13's.

But thanks for the input man.

 

I hear ya

The uprev tune is for your year and at the very least change the timing parts no matter what the milage is on the new motor.

Keep in mind to search for motors that range from 04-06

 

14.275 60' I got a 2.292 and 14.320 60' i got a 2.327. What ever that means. LOL

 

I also agree I reckon the smoke was from running rich
My max does the exact same thing as that also with the smoke it happened after I changed my exhaust. I like how u were talking in the videos u were having a fun time lol.

 

Get a car built for the strip next, its a good time!

 

My two best times of the day. I actually hit the 100mph mark. Add me to the club

 

 

Sorry to hear about the engine damage. Just when you were got all the racing stuff too. I'm excited to see how it turns out once you get it repaired!
