ok heres the thing i have a 99 maxima, 95 maxima, and 95 ford contour SE V6. both maximas have the drop resistor mod done and i understand how all the stuff works its just the fact that i cant find the darn resistor on the contour. does anyone have any idea where i can find out exacly where the resistor is on the contour? i dont want to buy a haynes manual or anything and i cant just go to a store and look at one of the books cause there all plastic wrapped. i just thought it would be cool to do the DR mod on somthing besides the maxima to see how it reacts. any help is awsome -Ryan

 

afaik the drop resistor is gender specific to Nissan. It has to do with the design of the auto trans, so unless the auto you are playing with is using the same trans that Nissan does it ain't gonna work.

I have tried it on a Sentra and it works..

 

contours suck

 

An aquaintance of mine tried it on his V6 contour. He couldn't figure it out. I'll ask him details. I think they are electronically rather than hydrolically controlled.

 

thanks for the info jime and broaner, i just thought itd be cool if i could do it to my sluggish contour also

 

wow.... way to add to the thread, idiot.





to the thread starter, the contour's transmission is hydraulic, so no real electrical controls for the valve body.

 

stfu stupid ***. i know who he is and i was joking around with him. get off my nutz

 

Yeah really. You should pay attention to people's location before you go passing judgement on whether or not they were joking around. And our trannies are hydraulic yet we have a DR. Hmm... I'm not very familiar with various types of auto and really, I don't care.

 

Really tho. Contours do suck
But I do have to giv em some credit
My friends contour did a 5 second 1/4 mile

 

If your wondering how this is possible.
He dropped it off a cliff.
lol

 

well ill take the answer as its not possiable then i guess, that cliff joke was funny until i relized im gonna be driving it for a month or two until i can buy a new max or somthing

 

Funny...
D=.5GT^2
D=.5(-32ft/s)(5)^2=400ft
Last time I check a 1/4 mile was 1320ft. Seems it would take 16.5 seconds for it to do the 1/4 off a cliff and that isn't accounting for air resistance.

Yes, Contours do suck. A very annoying aquaintance of mine just got an SVT. Its still slow as *****.
