I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima, headers,udp, 100 octane,exhaust,intake, drag radials. I burned out in the water first and second gear warmed the tires up, launched at 4000rpm, tires stuck, shifted at 6000rpm in every gear got my slip, 13.8 @ 100.11. Game over.....Is that a good time fellas?

 

is this thing an auto? Not bad times at all

 

Times are good but why 100 octane? Higher octane burns slower. If you haven't advanced the f*ck out of timing it's pretty damn useless.

 

Very nice times. Congrats man!! What size radials and wheels are you running?

 

Very good time considering the 60ft

 

Wow...... some sweet a$$ times man. Practically a stock setup too..... That's some mad top end power.

Any weight reduction?

 

----> That wouldn't be possible w/o a Nuetral drop.

I may have proof to prove you wrong. Though I do have 17*... but I don't consider it "increased to all f'uck" and it's only BTDC. (better TR)

It's not all that bad
Do you have a baseline dyno to justify this? Here's a bit more info. http://www.forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=288967


Could be better after a tune and higher shifting pts.

 

I was running with bf goodrich 225/50/15 drag radials, and the rims are some stock 15" rims from my 92 nissan maxima gxe. I know most of you know that 15"s dont fit over the stock rotor, thats why I had to do some modifications to get them to fit. The pic is above.

 

Only thing I took out was the floor mats, the bottom part of the rear seats(i got lazy) and the spare tire. I weighed the car and it weighed 3350 with me in it, I was surprised how much the car weighed tho...

 

Yeah im going to get a greddy emanage eltimate to tune the car, I was gonna go with a safc, but I feel the emanage will be better for me. I am going to dyno next week so I can see exactly what my power curve looks like, and see where the power falls off. Therefore I will know where to tune, and Im gonna get the TS L-Spec ecu reflash so I can rev to 7500rpm and get some arp rod bolts to hold the motor together.

 

Sounds like a plan. good luck!

 

Your motor will be wheezing up there unless you get a better IM.

 

just wondering why you shifted at 6000 rpms?

 

Because I've heard that our car loses power in the higher rpms because nissan made the car run so rich after about 5000rpm. I didn't want to redline, and lose power, especially being that I am untuned. I need to dyno my car which I probably will be doing within these next two weeks, and see exactly where the power drops off in my car. You guys think I could have run a better time if I shifted right before redline?

 

ALWAYS shift at redline. My car also has a horrible tune but truth is, even on a stock 02-03 manifold, the drop off after 6k is nowhere near significant enough to shift so low. Supposedly the optimal shift points are 6600, 6600 and 6500. So basically just before redline in every gear.

hey were you at english town on the 13th??

 

Yep, I ran 14.5 that day because I didnt heat up the drag radials and had a screwed up launch when I spun tires. But if you saw a grey 5th gen that day, yeah that was me with a big "Traffik Blockin" logo on the back window...

 

Heh, just imagine if I redlined, I probably woulda ran a 13.7 or possibly 13.6. Who knows.........

 

The only time I've shifted at 6000 or so was when I was trying to slow my car down to be in the 14.00 and up street class. Believe me it hurts. Not to mention that the OEM tach is off and 6500 rpms is actually around 6700 on your tach.

 

Really? I didnt know our tachs are off, so if I went with one of those big autometer tachs(RICE,LOL), would it be back on point and accurate?

 

ya i think i came up and talked to you for a second while we were all in line,i was in a silver 99 it was a ****y day for me to, my best 60ft was a 2.5..........

 

yeah, maybe even a 13.5. and you have headers, which all i hear is they pull like crazy to redline! oh well, get the VAFC-II and tune it, and hit the track again in the spring

 

Headers rock indeed. And the sound is

 

Everyone's tach is off by a different amount. Just find where your rev limiter is, and then adjust your shift point accordingly. No need to bother with that big autometer tach crap.

 

Yeah that sh*t looks supremely ricey. The only imports with big tachs at my track are running either 16's with scraping body kits or 10's with wheelie bars, but no in-betweens. Go figure.

 

straight up power to the end, a little more practice and your ready to rumble, lol. im gonna try to get up there this weekend to see first hand this n/a monster, lol.

 

dam 13.8 all motor! nice bro, real nice numbers, just another reason i want a 5.5gen. Shiet if i were you i wouldve gone to deer park with those slicks, and love to see the looks on the ricers face after you passed them!

 

congrats star.

 

Nice #'s what kind of headers do you have?

 

You have all those mods and only a 13.8...start shifting at redline. You'll benefit more from that. I have an auto. My tranny automatically shifts at 6,100-6,250 for some odd reason. When I manually shift it at redline, I run .2 or .3 seconds faster.

 

Im sure you lost at least 2 tenths if you were in fact shifting at 6k rpms. Times are still decent for a bolt on 6 speed.

 

I believe he has Hotshots....

 

Dude, most People here with 5.5 Gen 6 Spds run 13.6 -13.8 with Headers, Iam not counting UDP becuase they dont do anything if your N/A...

 

Alex will you please stop posting babble about things you have no idea about and I am referring to anything that makes power on a 3.5........

 

Shifting at redline should help your times. I have the same mods except for the UDP, drag radials, and 93 octane + full interior and was able to get 13.6, but my 60ft wasn't that good b/c i was on street tires. But keep at it you'll get there. Just wish i could get a 2.0 60ft'

 

damn, 13.6s@ nearly 104mph? with an avg 2.25ish 60ft?
so what other mods u have, besides I/H/E?
dynos?

most 5.5th gens with bolt ons and 6spds are lucky to even barely break into the 13s. or get like 14.0.

 

Headers are the key.. ... Even an auto can break 13's if it has headers.

 

a la Jime, Juice, Blu, etc....

 

I see you coming around saying this a lot. 13's are easy to hit with basic bolt ons, headers, b-pipe, GAB and a good lauch is about all you need along with some nice weather.

If a 5.5 gen cant get into the 13's its just the fact they can't drive no matter if its Auto or 6 speed.
