Another Maxima with 371 HP and 349 lb-ft tq
Recently I had my car on a lift and noticed a bad oil leak from my transmission. Turned out it was a cracked neutral position switch. I went to Tynan's Nissan this morning and bought a replacement.
While I was paying for the switch a guy asked me what it was I had in my hand, so I told him.
He said, "oh what kind of car?"
I said, "Nissan Maxima"
he said, "Oh! I have one of those, mine's turbocharged"
"Really :eek !?!?" I said
"Yeah it has 371 HP and 349 lb-ft tq", he proceeded
"Are you sure about that?..." I asked
(He looked puzzled)
" ... cos that sounds exactly like mine ...except mine has 371 HP and 369 ft-lbs or torque"
He asked me about some of the other mods for my car, he asked about the clutch etc.
Whoever this guy is, he reads the boards. If you are reading this, you met the REAL owner today! Next time be careful who you BS to!
I couldn't believe my ears! I should have played along to see what else this guy would say, but I was in a hurry to put the swtich on and get to work so I shut him down. I wished I had driven my car over so I could show him. Would have loved to see the look on his face!

RL
0-60mph 2.15 seconds
1/4 mile 7.23 seconds
It's a little higher than at sea-level .... I suppose I can do the same times too

I love the random numbers he pulled out of his butt on this one. I can do the 1/4 in 7 seconds in street trim in my maxima.
I think the turbonetics cellica that just did the low 7 second mark is estimated to have over 1600HP in it. Last I read they are not sure because they topped out the DYNO. But I mean heck they only have a full race setup, gutted interior, tube frame, yeah they are street legal too.

Sounds like he was full of BS. 20lbs of boost and 375hp? You get that with what? 11lbs? He's running a t3/t4 hybrid, a similar turbo to yours? Sounds hokey. You're running a t3/t40e? Forgive me for forgetting which turbo you run, but I was under the impression that the differences between the two wouldn't be sufficient to have 20lbs of boost from 1 equal 11lbs of boost from the other.
You know the standard .org reply. Unless you saw it *bs flag*. I run a t3/t4 hybrid turbo setup with 20lbs of boost and make 400hp too.

Nigel is running a t04e. The SoCal guy might have been Matthel? I don't know if matthel's car looks stock or not though.
I'm sure there are a few other modded max's out there besides the ones on this board.
