Basically over at the altima site, no one really has got into the 13s N/A. Moreover, the mods dont seem too compatible with the car.. since intakes blow mafs up, the headers keep the SES light, and its not exactly a cheap mod either.

Now for the 5.5th gen guys, are you having problems with basic bolt ons? I know a few have gotten in the high 13s like that...

Even the 4th gen manual guys, i believe have the 2000/2001 intake manifold mod to get them in the high 13s as well?

: /

 

not even engine swap require for 5spd 4th gen to run 13s. nealoc has done mid-low 13s with NA basic bolt-ons w/ incredible driving skill.

Surely you're not going to dump a v6 altima so that you can buy a maxima, just to hit 13s? That's totally ludicrous.

 

if you can't hit 13's in an Altima you won't hit 13's in a Maxima. Its the same exact car within 50lbs of each other. Its not the car its the driver...besides BJS or some guy like that was well into the 13's a long time ago with his VQ35 Altima so its doable just takes a little driving skill.

 

and some more money for more mods...

 

Ah yes....money...that minor detail...

 

seems weird to go from alty to max just to try to get into 13s. if thats your main goal look at other cars. just my 2 cent

 

Yeah .. . if your V6 Altima is a 5spd you should be able to get into the 13s with bolt-ons and a perfect launch. If you're auto then thats a different story.

 

Auto will do it fairly easy too

I know u got like 13.9 w/ all bolt ons, & 14.66 stock or something... but it seems odd no other members have been able to do so?

just like nealoc187.. only 13sec N/A guy... no other 4th has done it... unless someone does the intake manifold mod I guess...

I call these people "exceptions"

well assuming I can get 14.6-14.8 stock w/ my auto altima... 13.9999 or something is within reach... but the mods for OUR altima seem quite a nuissance and not operating properly w/ the car... : /

 

i never heard of somebody buying a fwd 4dr car auto to go drag racing...u know that many other cars out there would run u 13's stock.

 

Not really exceptions, anyone can duplicate our times with just an exhaust and intake.

Like Matt says, anything a Maxima can do an Altima can do as well.

 

stock 350z with lsd and good aftermarket tires run 13.6-13.8.... You can get a used Z for $19k, why risk not getting into the 13s with a maxima? if u can be sure with a z... however the 3.5L aren't very turbo friendly and break rods at low psi from what I read on my350z.com, superchargers are safer though on those cars (350z) because they are more linear..., so to be sure about getting 13s safely on a max you may wanna consider 3.0L turbo... my .02

 

I haven't seen any Z's yet that can do a 13.1 n/a like SR20den or 13.5 n/a like I can in my auto regardless of mods.

There is no risk getting into the 13's with a Maxima anyone can do it.

 

13.6 stock on good tires, 13.1 isn't far ...

I know theres no risk getting into the 13s but selling an altima auto, for an auto maxima? come on ....

 

like Jime says any Maxima 3.5L or Altima can run 13's n/a. All you need is track tires, headers/exhaust, some form of intake or GAB, and easy 15 min or less weight reduction. I have an UDP which I dont think amounts to much but I have no problem knocking off 13's on my 18" street tires. Run at a decent track with whats listed in this post on a nice cool day and 13's are there. Just because only myself and Jime have done it doesn't mean we both have some sort of freak car or run at a super dooper fast track. Recently another guy with I believe exhaust/intake/UDP knocked off a 14.1 on street tires in an 3.5L Auto. Its easily doable with the right combo.
