Cross-posted in 5th gen, although I might get more hits here-

Just yesterday at a DC-area meet we got a decent number of 2nd-gear (should have used 3rd gear, it would have been MUCH more accurate, but we didn't have enough road) runs with the Auterra Dyno-Scan power/torque feature. Overall it reported a lot of cars low (first run told me my 2K did 139HP ), but I'd like to do some runs in the future with my car for tuning/diagnosis purposes.

Anyway, cutting to the chase...

Does anyone have the frontal area and drag coefficient specs for 4th and 5th gen vehicles?
I remember reading somewhere (google search) that the '99 Maxima's drag coefficient is 0.32...
All the runs we did yesterday used the assumed values of 0.35 and frontal area of 20.0 sq ft. I'd like to plug in some real values for my own future tests.

Also, any information about base weight (without passengers) would be useful too, as the vehicle mass option is a very likely candidate for inaccuracy too.

thanks!

 

According to cartest I get a calculated frontal area of 25.5 and the drag coefficient is 0.32 for a 5th gen.

 

THANK you!
