this is all i know, i talked with the guy for an hour, looked under his hood, he said it was stock, the car didnt even have a tag it was so new, there was no nitrous or anything on the car.
he did say that he had been drag racing all his adult life (LOL) and talked about other cars he had.
this is all i have to go on ??? so dont know, all i could think was, with a great driver the 350z has more, no idea, his run before that was 13.9
im clueless !
edit: has 2200 miles on it
frosty what do you know about it ?

I believe h2kfrost has a 2k1 maxima if I remember correctly.
I dont think the car is tuned accurately to be only doing 13.2secs at 9psi. Its either gotta be running horribly rich or dangerously lean.

I only saw Brian run his Z on slicks.....and I thought the guy ran a 13.6. I kinda did forget about Brian's times though.

I dont know what vid some of you watched, but I say 9mph is quite a lead. Once again, still no traction til 3rd. The Z is RWD so im not surprized by that time. I still say frosty can slice off another 0.5+ and add 3-4mph IF he had some traction.

If you notice in the video I spin ALL of 2nd gear, which doesn't exactly help your times... and unlike 1st, there really is no way to stop wheelspin in 2nd, whereas 1st gear wheel spin comes down to the launch since the turbo doesn't really spool all the way in 1st.Bryan

Thanks for all the compliments guys, that's why I love maxima.org, keeps me pumped and ready to go... Also makes me want to be faster, with all the competition. > It feels good to be the 3rd fastest trapping maxima on the org as well... (as far as I know...) I barelyyyyy beat SR20DEN's 110.60, with my 110.64 haha.

One more thing, I did remove my driver side headlight and also removed the intake, so the turbo was sucking in cold air all the time, since it's placed almost directly behind the driver's side headlight. it seemed to help quite a bit, my engine was cold after every run as opposed to usually being hot.

that's a 3.0L??
nice...
I liked my 3.0 (in 4th gen 1998 form) better than my 3.5L
it was a little smoother...
but obviously not as torquey
what did the turbo install set you back?

Bad-a$$!
Gentlemen,
1) What were the guys saying at the end ?? I'm at work, so I can't (don't) put the sound on...
2) What were the 60' times for Frosty's Max and for the Z?? The Z looks like it got out of the blocks pretty good too!!!
3) Frosty, what's the fastest you've been in your Max?

frosty broke all records with a 2.1 60' and then Z was probably right there with him, frosty dig up your slips .

All this run did with the Zcar was make me want one more, than I did before. I wanted to get one myself, but did'nt and kept saying, o well saved my money the chariot is just as fast.
but with a good driver the 350z will hand most modded N/A maximas a yellow slip-butt kicking !

Agreed as well, but MT achieved a 13.77 w/ a track model...
Nice vid as usual

doggy you are right, i waited one hour in the cold and got to race the srt-4 twice. i trashed both runs - 1st run (not in video) i redlighted and missed 3rd gear with a 14.4 , second run that you saw - i lost all traction (listen to the car at launch closely) and have no idea how i beat him by a nose at the end. im still kicking myself.
the srt-4 was the best race of the night though, we were nose to nose, each shift he might edge up some and then i might. preparing for 3-4 shift i took a chance and shifted early and it paid off (it might have been a wrong move i just dont know) but my thinking was i didnt want to run out of steam/pull in 3rd which might hurt..lol ! so shifted into 4th and beat him by a headlight or emblem ! lol still kicking myself
