Try running 14's in a track that is 1200ft in elevation with 90+ degree weather.

I must agree with you on that.SoCal tracks suck! The best track we have is Carlsbad and it sits in the middle of nowhere, like a town in the movie star wars.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more VE five speeds deep into the 14s. It's just a matter of people running them at the track. Matt93se ran a 14.9 with advanced timing, udp, and CAI. No exhaust even. I think James needs to get to the track and show everybody what VE power is all about

I'll make it out to the track soon. My only real gripe is I would like to make some polyeurothane motor mounts, as my current ones just move around wayyy too much, that and crappy tires, but oh well.
I've only got a Fidanza/Exedy, but hope to add atleast a UDP soon, then maybe a Y-pipe or CAI.
Judging by what other members have run, and the nature of the weather up here, I dont think it will be too hard to get into the 14's. I'm not entirely sure what to expect from the Fidanza yet.

at a certain point you run into a wall and its so hard just squeezing an extra .10 out of the car. im stuck at 14.5 for the longest time. its pretty gay.

"Our tester, a five-speed SE version of this fourth generation of Maxima, produced a blazing 6.6-second 0-60-mph time, a 15.2-second, 92.4-mph quarter-mile run, 0.83g skidpad cornering power and a 65.1-mph slalom run. That tops the Taurus SHO five-speed in every category. The new Maxima shows no mercy on its Nissan stablemates: It'll stomp the normally aspirated 300ZX, and drivers of automatic-transmissioned 300ZX Turbos best not be snoozing when the light goes green."
Automobile Magazine, September 1995 - Four Seasons Test
"The Nissan Maxima has one of the world's truly great engines….There are few cars that I will unhesitatingly recommend to someone who is looking for a new car. I put the Nissan Maxima into that category the first time I drove one. After our four-season experience, it is still in that category."
Automobile Magazine, 1995
"We were not ready for the Maxima SE. It just knocked us out. We expected refinement and maturity that come with a freshly redesigned car, but we weren't expecting greatness."
Motor Trend, February 1995
One of the technical high points of the '95 Maxima is its new V-6 engine, which is standard in all models. This new VQ powerplant is similar in configuration to the VG-series it replaces: Both are 3.0-liter 24-valve DOHC 60-degree sixes. But that's where the parallels end. The revolutionary VQ is smaller, lighter, cleaner, cheaper to build, and easier to maintain. It also makes more power and torque yet delivers better fuel economy."
Awards: (For 95)
Motor Trend Import Car of the Year February 1995

Car & Driver Ten Best Cars January 1995
Ward's Auto World, January 2001 - For the seventh year in a row, Nissan's VQ motor--which powers the new Pathfinder, Maxima/Infiniti I30 and the new Z--was named to Ward's Auto World's "Ten Best Engines of the Year" award list. The VQ is the only engine in the world to receive the award every year since the list has been compiled. In speaking of the VQ, Ward's said, "We've said it before and we'll say it again. There isn't a better V6 in automotivedom--regardless of price." Joining the VQ on the list were powerplants from Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Honda, Toyota, Ford and GM
