just got back from the track, and I am very happy. temp was around 50 degrees with low humidity and the sun was shining. I had several new bests today. Here are my best runs:

60': 2.180
330: 6.087
1/8: 9.283

I also ran a few other 14.4's and a few 14.5's. Today was the first time I removed my passenger seat and rear bench just to see what it would do. I do weigh around 230lbs so it just drops my car's weight down to what some of you light guys cars weigh. I didn't believe that my car could hit a 2.1 60 ft time. I think with a torque converter and/or JWT ecu with the raised rev limiter I could possibly run a high 13 second pass. There were a few witnesses from the .org there. I raced Luckee2bhere with his 5spd with intake/y-pipe and he ran a 14.8 @ 94.09 mph against me. Don't brush off a car anymore just because it is an auto.


my mods are the following:

Variable intake set at 5000rpm
Hybrid JWT Intake
Cattman SS Y-pipe
test pipe
B-pipe (non-mandrel 2.5)
Hooker Muffler
G-Force ECU
RVM Underdrive pulley
FSTB
RSB
Don's VB Mod
stock 15" wheels with 205/50-15 kuhmo tires.
B&G Lowering Springs
KYB AGX
no spare tire, jack, removed passenger seat and rear bench.
Tires 20 psi front, 32 rear

 

Congrates!!!

 

congrats

 

FREAK!!!!!!

Simply awesome, buddy. I wish I could 60' like that.



Dave

 

awesome!

 

Congrats Matt

Car pulls really hard now for an auto

 

Amazing :O
You're my inspiration to keep modding my auto

 

and get a jwt ecu!!!!

 

Are you trying to say I have an unfair advantage?


I am still amazed at the 60ft!!! And the mph!! and the time!!! and its an AUTO!!!!

 

wow nice times, JWT ecu is too expensive for my blood. I am a big boy like you, next time I go to the track I am going to take out my seats.

 

Excellent! Show them 5-speed guys!

 

That JWT ECU would possibly drop another .1 or so with that higher rev-limiter. BTW, are you running a Kumho auto-X tire or something. Those 60 foots blow my mind.


Dave

 

actually it is just the cheap ecsta supra 712 tire. The track hooked so unbelieveable today. I actually got wheel hop on one run where the dash was shaking, just like with a 5spd. The sun was shining and there was just the right amount of VHT down, it will probably never happen again.

 

freakin awesome man

 

damn crazy times for an auto. How did you launch? Did you brake torque? My goal is to hit mid 14's. Im still stuck in 16's. im cali spec

 

Great times!

 

WTF?!? Nice times. Where the heck did you pick up an extra 2mph through the traps?

 

Damn, that is a awesome time.

 

Great times Matt!!! Representing all the autos out there!

 

those times are mind boggling!!! - great job man

 

Hey I ran a 14.4 too! (With 70 shot)

Great job man!

 

Did you leave the nitrous bottle off of your list?



Congrats!

Let me know when your going back to Steele, I need to run again since I removed my u-bend and resonator. I ran the below stock time at a slower SDR, on a nice and warm 70 degree day.

Must be nice to know you can beat a stock auto 2002-2003.

 

just outa curiosity...what times were u running stock and how are u launching?

 

And all of the auto people want to convert to 5 speeds...

Congrats on the killer time!

 

It is not very simple to get a NA AUTO as fast as Matt has. He has put tons of time and money into this and deserves all the props he gets! He did not always have a freak auto!

 

i got my best 60 ft of 2.0 on this same tire

 

By no means am I saying he got there with no effort but it seems that a lot of people want to the easy road to being fast instead of putting in the effort. People want their autos to be quick so instead of practicing driving styles, they drop a lot of money and a 5 speed into the car.

Prime example of someone who worked on his driving skill is Ben. A pretty much stock GXE (only an HAI) running 15.1. That's the road I've take pretty much until this point but now I just need to find the time to add my mods to my car.

I don't know how Sleeper feels but I say work with what you got and work on the driving skills. A good driver will outrun a fast car with a bad driver anyday.

 

Congrats on the time!

 

It's something like this that makes me wanna keep my auto!!

Insane man

 

Wow makes me smile that I have an auto. You da man!

 

Sorry, I never ran it stock. On the launch I just flash the torque converter right as the lights are changing by hitting the brake for a second while I am giving it gas. It is not really a brake torque, it is a really quick movement. Hit the gas at the same time I am letting off the brake.

 

That's the best way to do it. So many guys hold the brake and gas for multiple seconds before the green light is lite. Really all you should do is hold the brake and when the final amber lights, mash the gas, then release the brake. The "flash" should only take a split second. Stalling out the converter for extended periods of time only makes you slower and can be damaging to your auto.

Good skills, 96Sleeper.


Dave

 

You know isn't it interesting that some of the highest traps on the board are coming from two maximas that have an UDP. I mean the ECU and VI aren't hurting much either, but.... just a thought lol

 

Hmm...Can someone explain this flashinig the converter for me in better detail

 

WOW thats a great time! Are you the fastest auto N/A 4th gen now? And if you can run this in an auto an have similar mods to DaveB i am guessing dave could do even better than his 14.4 run. I cant wait to see what Nealoc will run with the ECU as well.

 

It's true, most of the fastest Maxima's are running UDPs:

5th gen:
Ethan @ almost 102mph
Blubyu2k2 @ almost 100mph

4th gen:
Requim6 @ 99mph
Me @ almost 100mph
96Sleeper @ 98mph


Dave

 

you're my hero! good times!!

 

thats because most of them bought every bolt-on.. doesn't mean its doing **** for them

 

Interesting...I never thought of that.

 

Well 96sleeper never trapped higher than when he got his UDP put on. And all other mods remaning the same?

Let the war begin!
