Anyone know 0-60 times on the 1998 I30(manual).

I would say around 6.6-6.8....but who cares about that?

1/4 mile is where it's at.

High 6's like Nick said. The thing about 0-60 is that it is just a function of traction more than anything. A 5psd I30 will run the 1/4 mile, assuming traction and good weather are present, at about 15.2 @ 92mph. But it is very possible for a completely stock 5spd I30 to run a 14.9 or a 14.8.

Instead of giving the man a bunch of greif, tell him what he wants to know!

VRS818,
I don't see it in my manual but the spec is 7 seconds based on a web site that listed the original specs issued by infiniti.

Motor Trend issue May 1997 says the '96 I30T 5speed runs it in 7 seconds flat. But i believe its better than that

Why is that?

Probably because the 5spd 4th gen max tested at less than 7 sec.

But again, it is all relavtive to driver, tires, and traction. There are people who could probably pull a 6.5 sec 0-60 time and those less skilled at launching that would pull 8 sec 0-60 times. That is why the 1/4 is much more representative on a cars power. Even with a not-so-good launch, the traps speed of a 1/4 mile run can indicate what type of power a car is putting down since there is much more distance for acceleration after the launch.

What about the 2001 Infiniti i30. I red somewhere that it goes 0-60 about 8.4, but I don't believe it, it's probably in 7s.

8 sec is probably about right since you can only get the auto in the 2K+ I30/35. This discussion was about the 5spd
