That clip my man...
was niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

any idea what the max had, was it stock, and did the spec v have any mods?

 

yep..it is my maxima.. it had cai,hi flow cat,custom cat back exhaust,dynomax muffler those are all the go fast items


thanks sexima

 

did the spec v have any mods you know of?

 

hey man, my friend just got a spec-v last month. i took his front emblem off and i think you should too it makes the car look sooooooo much better.

 

sorry no he was stock..funny story i actually met him. cool guy..lots of plans for that car.

It was quick.

 

thanx for the link !!!!

 

Eventhough it lost, it is like putting a heavyweight against a cruiser weight. I still think a spec v would get it from a 4th gen max, but hey i might just be bias. But those spec v's are fast as hell, and i would love to see them beat up on some civics, focuses and neons. The spec v is family (NISSAN), and if i wouldn't have bought my max, i definitely had the spec v first on my list when i was car shopping. Nissan engineering!!!

 

are you sure it was a Spec V ...
maybe it was a base SE-R, maybe even an auto

 

i raced a stock spec V with my stock maxima i lost by a half a car length those cars haul ***.im an auto but i burned the se-r at the night of the races

 

No way, an auto and or base SE-R would not come close to hanging with bags like that. Spec-Vs hit a wall at 125mph, this is coming straight from the owner of a lightly modified one. We had a friendly race a little later in the night and they are pretty weak on the highway. This was long before my MEVI. I kept it in 5th from 70mph or so (I didn't know we were racing yet). He pulled out probably 100 feet on me (remember I was in 5th) but I caught him easily enough and passed him by 130, never having left 5th gear.

 

Seems everyone around here has the silver one. 2 coworkers do. One has CF hood on order. Few other cosmetic goodies. Just as expensive as our mods

 

That sounds like a fair race to me if you ask me!!!leaving it in 5th!!

now as for that spec V racing Baggs!!I got on the highway w/baggs that car gets up in the 100s very very quick and keeps on going!!
I dont forsee any spec V keeping up with him unless hes spraying!

 

i'd rather keep my max, it's basically the same thing as a max, performance wise, except smaller

 

yeah I MEET the man. It was a Spec V 100 %

thanks for the support Nealoc


Jay the only reason I even was in within 100 yards of you is that darn limiter of yours.

thanks though

 

I think im sporting this vid on vqpower as well, have a nice day..

 

Bags, What are you doing in the 1/4?????

 

A very horrible 15.6 @89 mph was the best I have run to date. But (trying to make excuses) That was with full leather interior, dual power seats, 2' 12's in the trunk, spare tire and jack and a 150 mile one way trip to the track. however I will be running saturday with the VI so we will see.

My car is a highway monster. I have said it before and I will say it again. From a red light..slow city.. above 80 mph look out

 

Sounds like Medic's car. Get that tranny cooler on.

 

most spec V run around 15.00 - 15.5 bone stock......

but congrats on your kill

 

I don't know about 15 flat, maybe at 0 degrees farenheit, but otherwise they are around 6.9-7.1 0-60 and mid 15's in the quarter.

I'd say a 6spd Spec V would be almost a dead heat for bag's modded auto.

 

Sound like Nightrider and Papasmurf.

 

funny you should mention that.. a few other members mention that sonic and i cars seem to be the same in power

Yeah I am way behind in the tranny cooler area..but it's on the list


thanks 240,craig

Yours has to be a highway monster cumalot. If not..let me drive it and I will tell you

 

dude, ***, when did you buy back a SC!? I thought you had a hybrid and decided against modding (saving for 300zx or whatever)

 

HAHA I was about to say the same thing.

BTW, show me one spec V that has run 15.0 stock. I'm willing to bet my car that not one has.

 

HAHA how bout you shut up one and two dont critisize one person for what other people say, cause i never said anything like that but other people have attested to the fact that i am, i know you dont like me and honsetly i dont really care but no need to be an a$$ to me since i never did you wrong.
That goes for you too Cumalot

Bags: My car might be pretty strong on the highway, but I'm usually too scare to take it to the limit. Now with the SC, I'm worry about the EGT going too high if I keep my foot on the gas. With the SC, I have to be very careful about pushing it too far. On the streets, it's ok.



Craig: Yeah, I got another SC...long story. I'll give you the short version: yes I wanted to get the 300ZXTT, I was almost certain I was going to get it too. So instead of making sure that I can get it(like actually buying the car first), I rushed it and sold off a few of my mods(the SC being one of them). Later on when I was about to purchase the 300ZX, I found out I got laid off my job. Doh! The 300ZX was going to be a 5spd too! I knew I have to keep this car for a few more years, so I had to get something to satisfy myself. So there's your answer. Btw, a 5spd swap will still be in the plan for this car.


Papasmurf: What did I say? Nothing negative.

 

there have been a couple of specs running 15.0-15.3 stock. There are at least a couple of 15.2 stock slips over at b15sentra... It's just very hard to get a good launch so a lot of us end up running mid 15's with 2.4+ 60ft times, even at >90mph. ANYWAY, besides that point, I think the video is pretty accurate becuase the topend is pretty bad. My third gen actually felt better going through the 100's than the spec. The spec can take a lot of maxs on the lowend (excluding 2002s, of course), but on the high end the maxima owns it.

2002 spec v

 

yeah i have seen a few specV in the mid to low 15 range. they are quick cars, i raced one from about 40-90 and had half a car on it, they pull hard and quick. as for your sentra taking a 2k2 max i hope you mean an auto, and i would think even those you would have a tough time with in any aspect and 6speeds would rip you up, off the line and from higher speeds. i considered a specV but i didnt have the cash and i think my 4th gen is quicker anyway, but i was cursed with an auto tranny

 

I have no reason to dislike you. What he said simply evoked memories of a few threads in which NightRider starred. It reminded me of NightRider immediately, but since you two are part of the same company and all, it reminded me of you as well. I have no problem with you whatsoever. If you have a problem with me that's fine, I can deal with it if that's the case.

 

same here dtr, hoping to get a 5 speed conversion cuz no dough for the spec V

 

***** being nice nealoc. he was being a smartas$ to you and mike for no reason.

tell him shut the hell up. you wasnt even saying anything negative about him. hell it was a compliment.

 

and for the record it was a six speed sentra. bone stock.

 

I dont have a problem with you i just want you to know to separate me and nightrider when it comes to stuff like that just so were all clear on things, but between us its all cool

Bruce

 

no, no, I was saying the spec is NOT faster than the 2002, but I have beaten quite a few 4th gens, modified and unmodified - a few are members here, and I do have timeslips - in the 1/4. Modified specs with only I/H/E are in the mid 14s.

Still talking about the 1/4, the modified 5spds (4th gen) give me trouble (meaning can most likely whooop me, but it depends on the driver and how modified it is), and most maximas (auto or 5spd) will take the spec if you go into the 100s. The max just has a higher topspeed and a stronger high end. So, I think that video was quite believable.

While they are fast...they are still mid 15 sec cars.

yesterday I ran against an auto 96 Max with JWT ECU custom catback, UR pulley, and an HKS intake,

I have a Spec V with a CAI and headers, and I was dead even up until about 90 MPH then I let go off the gas....


and yeah there are spec Vs that run 15.00-15.3 stock.... I would know better then the guy who was saying that its bull**** because I ve been on the sentra boards for quite a while and if you dont believe me go to www.b15sentra.net and look for the time slips I aint about to go look for them for you ......
