any advice u guys could give me on running tomorrow? i have the 245-45-18 inch tires. everything stock.. the temp is sapose to be in the high 80s during the day and at night down to about 70 degrees for the low.. basicly tire presure help would be good, and if i get a k&n drop in filter i know theres really no gains, but does the computer in the car take time to register that i put a different filter in? one more quick question, the filter i think comes with two tabs i guess to make it snug, if i put it in and its snug should i put these tabs on
? thanks in advance guys

 

OK, we cut you some slack yesterday with the K&N question for an '04, but this really does not belong here, a situation made even worse by asking the very same air filter question again!!!!

 

so i guess this means we can flame and ***** this thread???


is there NO ONE in the 6th gen forum to answer your questions?? maybe thats cause no one bought that ugly car

 

REPOST!!!!!!!

 

K&N filter, just put it in and start the car.

make sure you use those tabs too, otherwise there will be gaps.

you might want to adjust your tire pressure for the track runs. have fun~

 

Yeah, I think tire pressure will be important for a good launch, but when I ran my car I didn't adjust/removed anything. I wanted to run exactly as I drive it on the streets.
I think you can lower it to like 25pi or something like that for a better launch which will give you better 60-ft.
As for K&N dropin filter I think it should help alittle as the car will breath better at higher rpms.

Good luck with your run, also are you 6-speed?

 

thanks for the last two posts on here. im sorry for reposting but u guys are more helpful because alot of people havent ran there 04's yet, its a 5spd auto, and right now i have the tire presure set at 30 all around.. but these two tabs where do they go? thats what im having trouble with.. and i have 18s on the 04. thats why im having trouble witht he tire presure, if u lower it doesnt it hurt the top end.. im thinking of just leaving it at 30 or maybe lowering it to 28 and running it like that.. 1st run no matter what im stomping on it to see how much they spin and than ill take it from there, if they spin ill just ease on it quick on the next run ill be happy with a stock run of 14.999..

 

Uh oh jt is loose again LOL!!!
i'm not bein rude but does no one help out in the 6th gen forum?

 

Yeah I think lower tire pressure results in lower trap speeds, but I am not 100% sure. I would just run you car how you drive it on the streets. Without removing or andjusting anything. At least that is how I ran my first time.
Work on your 60ft and you will get much better times. My first time ever at the track I ran 14.7 with crappy 60ft of 2.44, I know I can do better and get into lower 14s.

 

*** I told you yesterday: go back to where you bought the filter. There should've been instructions in the box. Have them pull the instructions out of another box.

Out of the millions of K&N filters that are sold every year, you happened to get the ONE that doesn't have the instructions to tell you where the freakin' foam tabs go.

Jeezes f'n.....

 

im thinking the people that have bought the 04s are mostly older people that dont mod and race. so they wouldnt be able to answer questions. have you seen the boring topics in the 6th gen forum

 

your right jt, i think not to long ago the 1st person in the 6th gen forum took it to the track. the car sells good around my way, but no one young is pushin it, its always older people who just want to keep it stock. they need to have more fun like we do....

 

plus they dont have much to mod! no one makes anything yet. look at custom maxima, it all says "coming soon"
they will get to have fun soon

 

til then they can watch us have fun... we should be considerate though and let em party with us....i lu v the org!!!

 

i quess we should "play well with others". even others that have 04's.

 

LMAO!!! thats hott, i like the icon for that one. i wonder how the 04 drives and feels compared to ours?? maybe i will go test drive one. have u driven one jt?

 

no i havent driven one. i cant get past the looks. ill have to go see if my friends at the dealership will let me try one out.

 

The 04 drives like a champ! Smooth and very powerful.

 

Does rear independent supension work good?
I have not driven 2004 yet, but I am sure it should be more stable and controled compared to previous Maximas with beam in the back.
I hate the way my car rides on bumpy roads, suspension sounds and feels like crap. Especially how rear jumps out when you take a corner and hit a bump. Really sucky feeling.

 

Im 19 and drive an 04. I ran my 6 speed at 14.8 the first time out with it. nothing removed and hot as hell. Anwyas im looking to have some fun but theres nothing to play with yet.

 

well young man, you have us 5th gens to chill with until your crew wakes up and starts modding or at least starts having fun...

 

ok did you really have to add that you were only 19 its just not right that people your age have cars like that. cause there is NO way you pay for it yourself

 

well since we're giving age, Im 22 and drive an 02. Haven't been to the track yet. Mine is hot as hell too. Well you found the right place to have fun. sound good enough?? naw im playin but your lucky to have that car at your age, have fun with it and don't go gettin killed street racing..

 

well im 28 and drive a 2000 have never been to the track but im sure its hot.

 

see now what other gen forum can u come to and feel so at home? the forums should be a good time, sometimes its too serious. shouldn't we be having fun dealing with our cars?? but anyway glude have you driven an 5th gen mainly 02/03 to be able to compare to your 04?

 

Actually my first car was a prelude. My father bought it for me when I was 16. When i sold it I used that as a down payment and I am making payments on my 04 now.

 

This is a good point... because then more and more posts will say "ok, I know this is the 5th Gen area BUT..."
